Science and Technology Highlights
A Livermore team has taken a closer look at how nuclear weapon blasts close to the Earth’s surface create complications in their effects and apparent yields.
Researchers describe how a laser-plasma system can be tuned to produce large and measurable changes in the group velocity of light.
Researchers have developed a light-activated switch that, if fully deployed, could reduce carbon emissions by more than 10 percent.
Scientists have revealed experimental evidence that helium rain is possible over a range of pressure and temperature conditions expected to occur inside Jupiter and Saturn.
New research shows that satellite measurements of the temperature of the troposphere may have underestimated global warming over the last 40 years.
Researchers study protist–plant relationships to understand the role of protists in the rhizosphere.
Global warming causes low-level clouds over the oceans to decrease, leading to further warming.
Thin-film electrodes developed at Lawrence Livermore have been used in human patients at the University of California, San Francisco, generating never-before-seen recordings of brain activity in the hippocampus.
A research team has used carbon nanotubes to enable direct drug delivery from liposomes through the plasma membrane into the cell interior.
