Science and Technology Highlights
Scientists from the LLNL Planetary Defense program have released details of their research of the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor.
A series of experiments conducted at the Omega Laser, part of the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics, provide new insights into magnetic reconnection.
A 170-page book featuring LLNL was recently published by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, titled “Strategies to Renew Federal Facilities.”
The first peer-reviewed results from NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission were published Wednesday by Nature, including contributions from LLNL’s planetary defense team.
LLNL engineers and scientists have developed a method for detecting and predicting strut defects in 3D-printed metal lattice structures during a print through a combination of monitoring, imaging techniques and multi-physics simulations.
A new review of the current breakthroughs in the creation of electron-positron pair plasma, its main challenges and the future of the field, co-authored authored by LLNL physicist Hui Chen appears in Physics of Plasmas
A new approach developed at LLNL allows for the study of radioactive and/or precious elements in a much more efficient way, requiring 1,000 times less materials than previous state-of-the-art methods, without compromising the data quality.
New research led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory provides a better understanding of ejecta production, which has been the subject of broad interest for more than 60 years throughout the scientific community.
Engineers at LLNL have taken major strides towards closing the gap between the Lab’s manufacturing and design capabilities.
