Science and Technology Highlights
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.
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.
