Scientists have tracked down a potential target for new drugs against sleeping sickness.
Understanding waves is fundamental—through them we see, communicate, transmit energy, probe the universe. Experimenting with harmonic oscillators, such as a mass on a spring, is a great way to understand how waves work.
The pressure of fluids like air and water regulate many natural processes from those in living organisms to the weather.
A chemist who is the director of Livermore’s Forensic Science Center is the recipient of the 2020 “Outstanding Early Career Achievement in Forensic Science Award.”
Scientist have developed a benchmark of nitrogen and phosphorus limitation for models to be used for predictions of the terrestrial carbon sink.
LLNL researchers created a 3D microelectrode array (3DMEA) platform in which they were able to keep hundreds of thousands of human-derived neurons alive.
Livermore scientists are using to determine the most efficient strategy for charging and driving electric vehicles used for ride-hailing services.
Livermore researchers developed a preliminary set of predictive 3D protein structures of the novel coronavirus that is currently spreading globally.
