(231207) -- CHENGDU, Dec. 7, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Nov. 8, 2023 shows the tunnel entrance of China Jinping Underground Laboratory in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Sichuan Province. A 2,400-meter-deep physics laboratory in southwest China's Sichuan Province became operational on Thursday, making it the deepest and largest underground lab in the world.
Scientists believe the laboratory provides a "clean" space for them to pursue the invisible substance known as dark matter. They said the extreme depth helps block most cosmic rays that mess with the observation. (Xinhua/Xu Bingjie)
