In an award ceremony held last month at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), U.S. Navy Admiral Richard W. Mies was presented with the John S. Foster Jr.
Science and Technology Highlights
Gathered in the Congressional Auditorium on Wednesday, Nov. 15, 17 early-career researchers used three minutes and a single slide to present their pioneering research during the inaugural National Lab Research SLAM.
The National Ignition Facility (NIF) set a new record for laser energy on October 30th, firing
An LLNL-led effort simulating a global climate model on the world’s first exascale supercomputer has won the first-ever Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modelling.
In new research appearing in Applied Physics Letters, a team of researchers from LLNL and University of California, San Diego conducted experiments to see how aluminum reacts to a laser under extreme pressure when a tamper material is used on picosecond (ps) time scales.
In new experiments at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility, scientists measured the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) of copper to probe its temperature under extreme pressure.
LLNL scientists and collaborators at Penn State University have found that natural proteins, called lanmodulins (LanM), render certain actinides more soluble under environmental conditions, hence making those radioactive elements more prone to migrate from their initial location.
New research from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists and their collaborators at the University of California, Berkeley illuminates a fascinating phenomenon: the demise of soil bacteria and other unicellular microbes at
An instrument designed and built by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers departed Earth last week on a two-billion-mile, nearly six-year journey through space to explore a rare, largely metal asteroid.
