Livermore researchers have adapted their novel metasurface process, which creates a thin layer on the surface of an optic, to create an all-glass metasurface with birefringence, or dual refraction, properties.

New research reaffirms that human footprints found in White Sands National Park, New Mexico, date to the Last Glacial Maximum, placing humans in North America thousands of years earlier than once thought. In September 2021, U.S.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory physicist Alex Zylstra has been awarded the 2023 Edouard Fabre Prize for his experimental leadership of the milestone Hybrid-E” campaign that achieved fusion ignition at the National Igniti

LLNL physicist Nino Landen has received a 2023 Edward Teller Award, which comes with an engraved silver medal.
// Recognition
Otto “Nino” Landen, a distinguished member of the technical staff and the inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments group leader at LLNL, has been awarded the 2023 Edward Teller Medal.
LNL researchers Aimy Sebastian and Nick Hum examine samples of engineered bone marrow that can be used as  a drug-screening platform that offers a protective effect on osteosarcoma (OS) cells that parallel clinical responses and could increase the survival rate of OS patients
// S&T Highlights
LLNL scientists along with collaborators from the University of California, Davis have adapted previously described engineered bone marrow (eBM) for use as a 3D platform to study how microenvironmental and immune factors affect OS tumor progression.
Empirical measurements of carbon and nitrogen exchange between algae and bacteria, using stable isotope tracing, allowed the LLNL team to identify three different bacteria types with distinct ecological roles, providing a conceptual framework to better understand how the algal microbiome plays a role in carbon and nitrogen degradation and recycling.
// S&T Highlights
Researchers from Lawrence Livermore used LLNL’s nanoSIMS to understand and quantify the role of the algal microbiome in processing algal carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). The research appears in Nature Communications.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Meta researchers demonstrated a new kind of 3D-printed material that can “translate” text messages to braille on-the-fly by filling the device with air at strategic points.
// S&T Highlights
Engineers and chemists at LLNL and Meta have developed a new kind of 3D-printed material capable of replicating characteristics of biological tissue, an advancement that could impact the future of “augmented humanity.”
