For the first time, a team of LLNL researchers quantified and rigorously studied the effect of metal strength on accurately modeling coupled metal/high explosive (HE) experiments.

LLNL researchers have developed a novel, integrated modeling approach to identify and improve key interface and microstructural features in complex materials typically used for advanced batteries.

LLNL employees participating in three project teams were recently recognized with Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary’s Honor Awards.

The first four line-replaceable units, also referred to as pulsers, have been delivered to LLNL from vendors for installation into Scorpius, a particle accelerator that will be the first accelerator to be powered with solid-state pulse power technology. 

More than 300 LLNL employees, government officials and industry leaders gathered at LLNL on Jan. 9 to celebrate the dedication of El Capitan, the world’s fastest supercomputer. 

By combining the National Ignition Facility (NIF) laser and ultra-light metal foams, LLNL researchers have produced the brightest X-ray source to date.

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, LLNL researchers argue that samples retrieved from known locations on Mars by sample return missions could solve this conundrum. 

LLNL’s mission-focused work advancing national security by developing laser technology for X-ray lithography and satellite imaging research leads to technology spin-offs with commercial importance. 

LLNL researchers identify toxin-antitoxin systems as a possible passkey to hack into bacteria communities.
