The National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) hosted 21 undergraduate interns in an underground tour of the Edgar Experimental Mine, operated by the Colorado School of Mines. Interns experienced industrial drilling equipment and reinforced rock walls while learning mining fundamentals. The program, part of NLR’s broader summer educational initiative, also includes internships for high‑school, undergraduate, and graduate students. One intern, Anisha Jarang of the University of Virginia, is working on charge‑modulation microwave conductivity to improve electron mobility in organic semiconductors for future OLED and wearable technologies.
