Science and Technology Highlights
Science on Saturday is a series of science lectures for middle and high school students. Each topic highlights cutting-edge science occurring at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The talks are presented by LLNL scientists in collaboration with local area high school science teachers. These presentations are offered in several locations. Admission is free of charge. Seating is on a first-come first-served basis.
Location: Bankhead Theater (2400 First St, Livermore, CA 94550)
Two Presentations: 9:30 AM & 11:15 AM; Download Flyer
Livermore scientists have created polymer-based membranes that mimic the architecture of cellular membranes.
A newly created two-micron-diameter fill tube solves a problem in inertial confinement fusion experiments.
Scientists have discovered an unusual new type of phase transformation in the transition metal zirconium.
Livermore researchers have introduced a new class of metamaterials that can nearly instantly respond and stiffen 3D-printed structures when exposed to a magnetic field.
The Laboratory has delivered a first-of-its-kind, high-power, fiber-based sodium laser guide star to the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Livermore's Seismic Cooperation Program helps at-risk countries improve earthquake monitoring capabilities, implement suitable seismic building codes, and plan disaster response.
A team of Laboratory engineers, computer scientists, and health physicists have developed a planning resource that can assist local governments in determining the best actions to take following the detonation of an improvised nuclear device.
Livermore develops software to reduce performance drag caused by input/output (I/O) workloads.
LLNL target fabrication scientists have found a way to make an already hair-thin layer of frozen inertial confinement fusion fuel even slimmer.
The Discovery Science Program has spun off a wealth of benefits to the world’s largest and highest-energy laser system.
