What happens when additive manufacturing meets target fabrication engineering? An impossibly small, sub-millimeter scale cone that can be manufactured 10 times faster than before, enabling new target configurations for experiments at LLNL’s National Ignition Facility (NIF).
Science and Technology Highlights
At LLNL, researchers are deploying emulators to shorten that timeline and provide faster and more accurate weather predictions, months to years into the future.
At LLNL, researchers are asking an important question: how does the microbiome affect human health? To accomplish this goal, Laboratory scientists are deploying tailor-made machine-learning tools on microbiome data.
A gamma-ray spectrometer developed by a team of scientists and engineers at LLNL is on the world’s first sample return mission to the Martian sphere.
To understand interiors across planet types, researchers need to know exactly how magnesium oxide responds to extreme pressures and temperatures. Now, after nearly 12 years of investigation, a study from LLNL and Johns Hopkins University has solved that problem.
LLNL researchers are developing three-dimensional simulations to examine how a nuclear device could be used to deflect or potentially disrupt an asteroid threatening Earth.
Researchers at LLNL have developed a new detector, CHICOX (Compact Heavy Ion Counter version X), that opens up a new era of extremely sensitive studies of nuclear shapes.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory engineer Christopher Spadaccini is one of 23 inaugural recipients of the University of California Regents Innovation Awards.
Researchers at LLNL have developed a solid-state bioreactor that can convert methane into succinate, a valuable chemical used to make polymers, stabilize drugs, enhance food flavor and beyond.
LLNL will provide an advanced tri-optical imaging payload for the CAPSTONE 02 spacecraft. Led by Advanced Space’s mission-integration team, CAPSTONE 02 will demonstrate and characterize capabilities needed for future operations in the complex cislunar environment.
