The greenland ice sheet
// S&T Highlights
Wthin the last 1.1 million years, Greenland had thriving vegetation and ecosystems.
The Paris-Edinburgh-type press with specialized thermoelectric cell assembly
// S&T Highlights
Researchers have shown how applying pressure to a specific thermoelectric material, TiNiSn, increases its efficiency and leads to a structural phase transition.
Four researchers head shots, with four x-ray images
// S&T Highlights
New work by computer scientists at Livermore and IBM Research on deep learning models to accurately diagnose diseases from x-ray images won the Best Paper award for Computer-Aided Diagnosis at the SPIE Medical Imaging Conference.
Experimental set-up with laser, microstructure, and data plot
// S&T Highlights
Livermore scientists have achieved a near 100 percent increase in the amount of antimatter created in the laboratory.
 "Permitting Carbon Capture & Storage Projects in California" report cover
// S&T Highlights
According to a Livermore report, California will need to both intensify efforts in emission reduction measures and technologies that are already underway and deploy technologies that dramatically reduce existing emissions.
Visualization of a hydrodynamic phenomenon
// S&T Highlights
Lawrence Livermore will be among the world’s first high-performance computing (HPC) centers to deploy an exascale-class system.
Space Science Institute logo over image of four people at work
// S&T Highlights
The Laboratory has launched the new Space Science Institute, intended to boost cross-discipline collaboration and discovery.
U.S. at night with lit areas visible
// S&T Highlights
For nearly half a century, the Laboratory has created unique one-page charts that diagram the nation’s energy use and consumption in an easy-to-understand format.
a HYDRA simulation of an inertial confinement fusion implosion
// S&T Highlights
Researchers gain new insights into why small eviations from perfect spherical symmetry can lead to significant distortions of the implosion and ultimately degrade inertial confinement (ICF) fusion performance.
