Canada's deep underground science lab. Celebrating research, innovation, and the people behind it.
@snolabscience.bsky.socialBoth SNOLAB and SNOLAB Executive Director Jodi Cooley have very close ties to the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics winner Francis Halzen and the IceCube experiment. Learn more about IceCube, SNOLAB and about the power of positive mentorship in the sciences here: www.snolab.ca/.../snolab-h...
@snolabscience.bsky.socialWonderground at SNOLAB is back! We are kicking off another season of hands-on learning and scientific inquiry, and we’re looking for Grades 4-8 teachers from across Canada to join us.
Interested and want to learn more? Check our website here: www.snolab.ca/outreach/won...
@snolabscience.bsky.socialCongratulations to Francis Halzen from the team at SNOLAB!
The 2026 #NobelPrize in #Physics has been awarded to Francis Halzen “for decisive contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin.”
@snolabscience.bsky.socialSNOLAB's 2025-2026 Annual Report is now live on our website. Want to know what's new at the lab? Want to learn more about SNOLAB's global reach? Or just want updates on our 20 ongoing experiments? Find it all in one place, here: www.snolab.ca/about/strate...

@snolabscience.bsky.socialDid you know that Creighton Mine celebrated 125 years of production in 2026? Sudbury’s oldest active mine celebrated in style last weekend at the annual Vale Creighton Mine Friends and Family Day ... and SNOLAB was proud to support the celebration. Here’s to 125 more years of mining and science!
@snolabscience.bsky.socialSeptember 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day.
It is a day to honour Survivors and recognize the ongoing impacts of residential schools in Canada. Today we listen, learn, and commit to meaningful actions towards reconciliation.
@snolabscience.bsky.socialIt was wonderful to meet and chat with so many people interested in SETT careers tonight! We had a great time at our booth for WISE Sudbury’s Career Café event. It was so inspiring to hear from the event speakers, including our very own Project Management Office Manager, Mehwish Obaid.
@snolabscience.bsky.socialThis past weekend, SNOLAB took part in the annual Anderson Farm Fall Fair. We shared our science with hundreds of members of the community who were curious about the science happening under their feet! Thank you to the Anderson Farm Museum Heritage Society for organizing and hosting this event.
@snolabscience.bsky.social#DYK: To get to the underground laboratory, we must walk through about 1.5 kilometers in Vale's Creighton Mine. This horizontal tunnel in the mine is called the drift!

@snolabscience.bsky.socialExciting news from SURF! A rare particle interaction that could be interpreted as a signal from a potential dark matter candidate in the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment. This is a very tantalizing result that helps lead the way for future xenon experiments.
