For #NationalInclusionWeek2024, we wanted to show how small, consistent actions can have profound effect... That's why our team attempted #TheMarshmallowChallenge - showing how small, weak strands of spaghetti can become strong when held together 🍬🗼 #Inclusion #NIW2024

#ThrowbackThursday to last year's MINAR, when we were visited by The University of Manchester's CRADLE group... 🤖⚙️ The team were testing #robotics destined for use in extreme environments - putting them through their paces in the hot, dusty, dark tunnels around our lab! 🔦🪨 #Science

What do you think our lab’s director, Sean, is explaining here? 🤔💭 Suggestions welcomed in the comments... 👀 This week’s #PhotoOfTheWeek 📸 comes from a recent visit to our lab, following the #EarthSciences workshop that we hosted in York 🌍 #POTW

Since 2015, BGS & Boulby Underground Laboratory have been researching underground hydrogen & compressed air energy storage in halite (rock salt). Many gasses could be stored in man-made caverns underground for long duration energy storage allowing us to balance our renewable energy system.

Going 1.1km underground: great to host John Sarrao, director of the SLAC Linear Accelerator Centre, at Science and Technology Facilities Council Boulby Underground Laboratory in North Yorkshire. We saw the impressive progress with excavation of a space for a very large new facility. Talked about Dark Matter and much more...

For the past few weeks, Jonny has been polling the team through a series of fun, fridge-mounted surveys... 🥪📋 In the lead up to #Halloween, the team was asked, “What is the scariest thing that you can think of?” 🎃👻 Here’s what everyone had to say ⬇️💭

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting a visit from IFLScience - a popular internet publication covering nature, science, technology, and more 🧪🪐 We’ll be sharing any content that gets published, so keep an eye out for some familiar faces from the Boulby team! 👀

Going underground (again). On Tuesday we were delighted to host members of the UK Research and Innovation Board at Science and Technology Facilities Council Boulby Underground Laboratory in the North East of England. Discussed the search for Dark Matter and the wide range of multi-disciplinary science opportunities at 1.1 km underground.
