Science and Technology Highlights

Simulation of arterial blood flow
// S&T Highlights
A research team has combined machine learning, 3D printing, and high-performance computing simulations to accurately model blood flow in the aorta.
Complex cultured neuronal network
// S&T Highlights
Livermore researchers have increased the complexity of neuronal cultures grown on microelectrode arrays.
Composite image of a white dwarf star inside a NIF hohlraum.
// S&T Highlights
Researchers at Livermore and an international team of collaborators have developed an experimental capability for measuring the basic properties of matter at the highest pressures thus far achieved in a controlled laboratory experiment.
Pair of diamonds in compression with models of prebiotic compounds
// S&T Highlights
Massive compressive shearing forces generated by the tidal pull of Jupiter-like planets on their rocky ice-covered moons may form a natural reactor that drives simple amino acids to polymerize into larger compounds.
Varied colors of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) displays,
// S&T Highlights
Livermore researchers are perfecting a technology called reversible electrophoretic deposition for high-contrast wearable displays.
A schematic illustration of a 3D nanometer-thin membrane
// S&T Highlights
Mimicking the structure of the kidney, a team has created a three-dimensional nanometer-thin membrane that breaks the permeance-selectivity trade-off of artificial membranes.
Frustraum hohlraum design
// S&T Highlights
Initial NIF experiments using a full-scale version of the Frustraum hohlraum have produced nearly round inertial confinement fusion implosions and more laser-induced energy absorption.
Energy flow chart
// S&T Highlights
Livermore has updated its energy flow charts to include state-by-state energy use for 2015-2018.
Artist's conception of Synchrotron X-ray beam impinging upon ionic liquid molecules
// S&T Highlights
Livermore scientists coupled X-ray experiments with high-fidelity simulations to investigate a widely used family of ionic liquids confined in carbon nanopores typically used in supercapacitors.
Composite image of melting glacier
// S&T Highlights
The most advanced and comprehensive analysis of climate sensitivity undertaken has revealed with more confidence than ever how sensitive the Earth’s climate is to carbon dioxide.
