Science and Technology Highlights

Artist's conception of carbon cycle
// S&T Highlights
Scientist have developed a benchmark of nitrogen and phosphorus limitation for models to be used for predictions of the terrestrial carbon sink.
Scientist working at instrument
// S&T Highlights
LLNL researchers created a 3D microelectrode array (3DMEA) platform in which they were able to keep hundreds of thousands of human-derived neurons alive.
Artist's conception of autonomous vehicles on road
// S&T Highlights
Livermore scientists are using to determine the most efficient strategy for charging and driving electric vehicles used for ride-hailing services.
S230 antibody
// S&T Highlights
Livermore researchers developed a preliminary set of predictive 3D protein structures of the novel coronavirus that is currently spreading globally.
Cover of study
// S&T Highlights
Livermore scientists have identified a robust suite of technologies to help California clear the last hurdle and become carbon neutral – and ultimately carbon negative – by 2045.
Artist's conception of 3D printed electrodes
// S&T Highlights
Scientists have developed a new class of aerogel electrodes with a simultaneous boost in energy and power density.
Simulation of Rayleigh-Taylor hydrodynamic instability
// S&T Highlights
Scientists at the National Ignition Facility have reached a better understanding of the causes of plasma instabilities.
Nanocarbon condensate
// S&T Highlights
An LLNL team has proven that nanocarbon can be synthesized by applying strong shocks to an organic material.
Stars in the constellation Carina
// S&T Highlights
Micrometer-sized silicon carbide stardust grains extracted from the Murchison meteorite formed anywhere from 1.5 million to 3 billion years before the formation of our solar system.
Five scientists work on CubeSat
// S&T Highlights
Livermore’s first in-house designed and fabricated CubeSat went into orbit in December.
