A Livermore–University of California Santa Cruz team report a new method for fabricating ultralight, conductive silver aerogel monoliths with predictable densities using silver nanowires.
Three scientists in neural laboratory
// S&T Highlights
Thin-film microelectrode arrays produced at the Laboratory have enabled development of an automated system to sort brain activity by individual neurons.
Complex 3D parts built in a photoresin
// S&T Highlights
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and their collaborators have discovered how to build complex 3D parts in a fraction of the time of traditional layer-by-layer printing using a process called volumetric 3D printing.
Northern hemisphere taken from space, with sea ice line
// S&T Highlights
Arctic sea ice loss of the magnitude expected in the next few decades could impact California’s rainfall and exacerbate future droughts, according to new research led by the Laboratory.
Ordinary kaolinite under an electron microscope.
// S&T Highlights
The first observation of a super-hydrated phase of the clay mineral kaolinite could improve the understanding of processes that lead to volcanism and affect earthquakes.
