Construction of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (Dune) at the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, is set to begin, with engineers assembling four giant detectors deep underground. The project repurposes a historic gold rush site into a major physics facility aimed at unlocking secrets about neutrinos and the universe.

Why now: Construction starting this week marks a major milestone for an international physics experiment based in an unusual former gold mine.
