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
Science and Technology Highlights
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.
A collaboration including scientists from LLNL, Sandia National Laboratories, the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has created 3-4 nanometer ultrathin nanosheets of a metal hydride that increase hydrogen storage capacity.
In collaboration with an international team, LLNL scientists looked at the isotopic composition of oxygen, carbon and manganese-chromium in two asteroid particles to help determine the source of the water and timing of the chemical reactions
LLNL scientists and engineers led a multi-institutional team in executing a series of high explosives tests that successfully demonstrated fundamental principles of anisotropy, a possible enabler for improved weapon and munition safety.
Skywing, a new software developed at LLNL, provides scientists working to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure with a high-reliability, real-time software platform for collaborative autonomy applications.
The U.S. Department of Energy and DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration announced the achievement of fusion ignition at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Researchers have created vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes that could be a boon for energy storage and the electronics industry.
