Science and Technology Highlights
Scientists at the National Ignition Facility have reached a better understanding of the causes of plasma instabilities.
An LLNL team has proven that nanocarbon can be synthesized by applying strong shocks to an organic material.
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.
Livermore’s first in-house designed and fabricated CubeSat went into orbit in December.
With better representation of clouds, the latest generation of global climate models predict more warming in response to increasing carbon dioxide than their predecessors.
A trio of Livermore scientists have served as co-authors for three separate papers about projects they’ve worked on to upgrade wind power forecasting for the nation.
A multi-institutional research team has successfully obtained the first nanoscale video of copper deforming under extremely high strain rates.
Lawrence Livermore researchers are one step closer to recapitulating the brain’s response to both biochemical and mechanical cues in a chip-based platform.
A research team has found that outbreaks of human disease, such as the 2015 Zika virus epidemic, may be due to genetic mutation, and viruses may undergo further changes as they expand their geographic range.
The STAR (Sample Test and Recovery) array was developed to measure shock velocity and heating in up to 16 material samples irradiated with x rays.
