The first four line-replaceable units, also referred to as pulsers, have been delivered to LLNL from vendors for installation into Scorpius, a particle accelerator that will be the first accelerator to be powered with solid-state pulse power technology.
Science and Technology Highlights
More than 300 LLNL employees, government officials and industry leaders gathered at LLNL on Jan. 9 to celebrate the dedication of El Capitan, the world’s fastest supercomputer.
By combining the National Ignition Facility (NIF) laser and ultra-light metal foams, LLNL researchers have produced the brightest X-ray source to date.
In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, LLNL researchers argue that samples retrieved from known locations on Mars by sample return missions could solve this conundrum.
LLNL’s mission-focused work advancing national security by developing laser technology for X-ray lithography and satellite imaging research leads to technology spin-offs with commercial importance.
LLNL researchers identify toxin-antitoxin systems as a possible passkey to hack into bacteria communities.
LLNL and collaborators argue that early assessments of technology–market fit and how the physics governing system performance evolves with scale can de-risk technology development and accelerate deployment.
A new research partnership led by LLNL aims to lay the groundwork for the next evolution of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, centered around a Lab-developed driver system.
LLNL researchers, in partnership with Elijen Technology, are working on a plastic, lithium-6 doped scintillator for detecting reactor antineutrinos that represents over a decade of materials science research.
Starris: Optimax Space Systems and LLNL have entered a commercialization partnership for LLNL’s patented monolithic telescope technology, which accelerates rapid deployment of modular optical designs for space imagery.
