RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — The first conference is in the works that will focus on the scientific research happening at the state's underground laboratory in Lead (leed).

The South Dakota School of Mines & Technology will host the gathering May 18-20 at the school's Rapid City campus.

Physicists, chemists and other scientists from national and international laboratories and research universities plan to attend what's called the Conference on Science at the Sanford Underground Research Facility.

School of Mines scientists are involved in five high-level research projects being conducted or planned a mile underground at the lab that could lead to a better understanding of the origins and makeup of the universe.

The lab is located in the former Homestake gold mine.
