Texas A&M University’s Department of Nuclear Engineering has honored Livermore physicist Kelli Humbird with its 2020–21 Young Former Student Award.

A team of Livermore scientists has modeled the global climatic consequences of a regional nuclear weapons exchange.

Craig Tarver has been honored with the American Physical Society’s 2021 George E. Duvall Shock Compression Science Award.

Four Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists have been selected as 2020 fellows of the American Physical Society (APS).

Staff Scientist Félicie Albert has been elected a Kavli Fellow of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.

Data correlating two factors that lead to implosion asymmetries have brought LLNL scientists a step closer to understanding the gap between simulations and performance of inertial confinement fusion experiments.

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.
