Jennifer Pett-Ridge has been named a fellow of the Ecology Society of America.
// Recognition

LLNL scientist and head of the Lab’s Carbon Initiative Jennifer Pett-Ridge has been selected as an ESA fellow for her work in soil ecology.

A 2D MARBL simulation of the N210808 “Burning Plasma” shot performed at the National Ignition Facility at the onset of ignition. This calculation consists of 19 million high-order quadrature points and ran on rzAdams (on AMD MI300A GPUs).
// S&T Highlights

Researchers at LLNL accelerate and add features to complex multi-physics simulations run on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), a development that could advance high performance computing and engineering.

Opportunistic pathogenic species, such as Acinetobacter, are prevalent in combat wound infections and commonly found on the gear of U.S. military service members.
// S&T Highlights

To support the early detection of potentially detrimental microbial factors, LLNL researchers have developed a targeted panel for the capture and sequencing of microbial genomic signatures.

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics recently announced that Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory computational mathematician Ulrike Meier Yang has been selected among the 2024 Class of SIAM Fellows, the highest honor the organization bestows on its members.

LLNL computational mathematician Ulrike Meier Yang announced as one of the 2024 Class of SIAM Fellows.

Kate Elder honored with Fulbright Scholarship.
// Recognition

LLNL materials scientist Kate Elder has been selected as a Fulbright U.S. Scholar and will conduct research on high-entropy alloys in Finland.

LLNL’s Raspberry Simpson, selected as a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Kavli Fellow, presented a poster on her postdoctoral fellowship at the academy’s annual Kavli Frontiers of Science symposium on March 7-9.
// Recognition

Raspberry Simpson, a Lawrence Fellow in LLNL's National Ignition Facility and Photon Science (NIF&PS) Directorate, has been named a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Kavli Fellow.

LLNL biologist Nicholas Fischer is analyzing the size of the nanolipoprotein particles (NLPs) by dynamic light scattering in preparation for their use in vaccine applications. Fischer and two former LLNL researchers are key developers of the NLP technology, which has won a Federal Laboratory Consortium award for technology transfer.
// Recognition

A LLNL researcher and a colleague earned a national technology transfer award from the Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) for their commercialized biomedical technology.

During exploration drilling at the Halleck Creek Rare Earth project, geologists conduct field surface research.
// S&T Highlights

Using a bioengineered protein-based technology, LLNL scientists and collaborators develop a new separation technique for rare-earth elements (REE).

LLNL researchers have have found  that soils, a huge carbon pool, tend to lose carbon as global temperatures rise. The research appears in Nature Geoscience.
// S&T Highlights

LLNL scientists and collaborators quantify and model the emergent temperature sensitivity of soil organic carbon.

Simon Pang (left) and Buddhinie Jayathilake assemble and prepare a prototype bubble column electrobioreactor to test additively manufactured three-dimensional electrodes. Under their project, excess renewable electricity from wind and solar sources would be stored in chemical bonds as renewable natural gas.
// S&T Highlights

LLNL researchers and partners develop a new storage method for excess renewable electricity from wind and solar sources.
