(231208) -- BEIJING, Dec. 8, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This file photo shows the PandaX-4T experiment facility, at the second phase of China Jinping Underground Laboratory in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of 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.
