In 1972, Livermore created its unified Laser Program, enabling cutting-edge research in laser fusion systems that has led to a major fusion milestone.
Science and Technology Highlights
Livermore scientists and collaborators at Penn State University are improving natural molecules that would help target specific radioactive elements that are found in nuclear waste or used in nuclear medicine.
New research by an international team including a Livermore scientist demonstrates that the Hunga explosion was comparable in size to that of the 1883 Krakatoa eruption.
Livermore scientists and collaborators have used a new technique to better forecast the level of algal toxins that accumulate in Lake Erie every year.
Lawrence Livermore will lead a National Nuclear Security Administration project with Cornelis Networks to collaborate on next-generation high-performance networking.
Livermore researchers have developed a new all-optical ultrasound technique capable of performing on-demand characterization of melt tracks and detecting formation of defects in a popular metal 3D printing process.
Livermore researchers have refined the measurement of the gamma (γ)-to-neutron branching ratio in deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion reactions, a result that is relevant to fusion energy.
The Laboratory has signed a memorandum of understanding with the city of Livermore to collaborate on advancing climate action in Livermore
Researchers have demonstrated the ability to 3D-print microscopic objects in silica glass, part of an effort to produce delicate, layer-less optics that can be built in seconds or minutes.
A Livermore climate scientist and collaborators developed a novel approach to more quickly see the temperature response to strong emissions reductions.
