New research by Lawrence Livermore and partners shows that drone-based delivery could reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy use in the transportation sector.
Livermore scientists and colleagues found that sclerostin acts as a protective molecule immediately after joint injury to inhibit cartilage loss and joint calcification.
Laboratory scientists have used some of the world’s most powerful supercomputers to model ground shaking for a magnitude 7.0 earthquake on California's Hayward fault
Livermore scientists are looking at new chemistry to store hydrogen more efficiently
A Livermore team recently completed a project to develop a first-of-its-kind seismoacoustic simulation capability.
A research team from Livermore, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Rochester provides the first experimental evidence for superionic conduction in water ice at planetary interior conditions.
Livermore researchers are studying the microbiome of the international space station
The Laboratory’s long history of developing and supporting open source software has led to thriving user communities and international collaborations.
Researchers have discovered that a material that can convert light into electricity, perovskite, can also switch between transparent and non-transparent states, making it useful as an energy-efficient, switchable window.
