New research in Nature Communications — conducted by a team from LLNL, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Ligo Analytics, the University of California, Irvine and the University of California, Davis — provides the first high-resolution images of protein structures in the outer membrane of chlamydia.

LLNL will support the Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment 02 (CAPSTONE 02), led by Advanced Space’s mission integration team.

An international team, including scientists at LLNL, has analyzed that meteorite. Their results — which indicate that the meteor was once a part of an ancient, briny asteroid — appear in the journal Science Advances.

New reactor technology from LLNL has the potential to turn that waste into a valuable feedstock for useful chemicals and fuels. The result could bolster domestic manufacturing, diversify supply chains and ensure lasting energy security in the U.S.

LLNL has completed delivery of the first 220 line-replaceable units (LRUs) to the Integrated Test Stand (ITS) at Nevada National Security Sites (NNSS), as well as the first 100 LRUs to be used at NNSS’s underground facility, the Principal Underground Laboratory for Subcritical Experimentation (PULSE).

On a multi-billion-mile journey to the asteroid Psyche, a gamma-ray sensor developed by a team at LLNL took its first measurements of a planetary surface after 2.6 years in deep space.

A pulsed-power prototype designed and built at LLNL has surpassed 3,000 shots, a milestone researchers say demonstrates the maturity of a new accelerator architecture and marks an important step in evaluating how the technology could be scaled for future national and economic security applications, including fusion energy.

In two recent publications, LLNL researchers examined how integrating molecular dynamics simulations with physics-informed machine learning can illuminate the relationships between structure and behavior in complex battery materials.

LLNL and U.C. Davis researchers showed that a honeybee queen facing chronic exposure to pesticides will take up that contamination and pass it along to her eggs, a process called maternal offloading.

A team of researchers at LLNL is working on an initiative called Project MAHEM — A Modern Approach to HE (high explosive) Manufacturing — to address those weaknesses by building a stronger scientific foundation for explosive formulation and pressing.
