Arctic sea ice loss of the magnitude expected in the next few decades could impact California’s rainfall and exacerbate future droughts, according to new research led by the Laboratory.
Science and Technology Highlights
The first observation of a super-hydrated phase of the clay mineral kaolinite could improve the understanding of processes that lead to volcanism and affect earthquakes.
Livermore scientists and colleagues are working on a NASA project to study microorganisms in a Nevada hot spring that could determine whether extraterrestrial life exists.
A team of Livermore researchers successfully combined several separate National Ignition Facility lasers into a “superbeam” for the first time.
Laboratory scientists have conducted three experiments at the National Ignition Facility to study conditions relevant to matter in brown dwarfs—"failed stars."
The American Heart Association (AHA) and Lawrence Livermore have formed a strategic business partnership to overcome the burden of drug discovery, cost, and access.
Livermore researchers and their collaborators have achieved a breakthrough in 3D printing one of the most common forms of marine grade stainless steel—a low-carbon type called 316L—that promises an unparalleled combination of high-strength and high-ductility properties.
A new consortium will combine vast data stores, supercomputing, and scientific expertise to reinvent the discovery process for cancer medicines.
