// S&T Highlights
Bigfoot is an experimental platform designed to control implosion symmetry and hydrodynamic instabilities, improve predictability, and enhance the delivery of laser energy to NIF’s targets.
Drone in flight
// S&T Highlights
New research by Lawrence Livermore and partners shows that drone-based delivery could reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy use in the transportation sector.
