Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have shown that enlarging the ends of short fibers used in composite materials simultaneously increases the overall toughness and strength of the material.
As the Team RE/MAX Global Balloon Flight circles the globe in coming weeks it will carry a science payload -- special video and gamma ray detection instruments -- designed by scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.
In recent years, the phenomenon called El Nino has been blamed or, less frequently, praised for all sorts of weather-caused problems and conditions. But despite all the attention, not much is known about its cause.
Nitrates, wastes typically generated in the mining, chemical, farming and nuclear power industries and during weapons production, are toxic to both humans and the environment. Reducing or eliminating nitrates once they enter the groundwater is problematic at best.
LANL researchers currently are testing new microdrilling technology that may revolutionize the way underground resource exploration is carried out in the 21st century, at greatly reduced cost.
Storms over the oceans generate more lightning than previously realized, and researchers may be able to use this finding in studies of atmospheric energy distribution mechanisms linked to climate and weather effects.
Scientists are gaining new insights into the electrodynamic processes surrounding lightning by examining measurements of more than two million individual lightning strokes recorded by a sophisticted radio receiver aboard the FORTE satellite.
As a result of drought, the transition zone between two ecosystems moved by two kilometers in less than five years, the fastest climate- induced boundary shift ever documented, scientists reported today.
Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory are measuring nonlinear properties of materials to demonstrate a difference between damaged and undamaged concrete.
Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a trio of sampling tools capable of extracting liquid, gas or powder samples from sealed containers and permanently sealing the point of entry -- all within a matter of seconds and without exposing people to the contents inside.
Researchers have stolen a page from Mother Nature to develop a technique for detecting the toxin that causes cholera. The technique should work equally well at detecing other protein-based toxins potentially used in biowarfare or terrorism and at detecting early signs of infection in clinical settings.
A technology demonstration for separating the plutonium components from surplus nuclear weapons received a green light from the Department of Energy last week and is now underway at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Los Alamos National Laboratory recently awarded license rights to a start-up company from Austin, Texas, to develop a suite of noninvasive medical diagnostic tools based on Los Alamos' swept-frequency acoustic interferometry technology.
Los Alamos National Laboratory will build a half-mile-long linear accelerator for the Spallaton Neutron Source, a $1.3 billion facility that will produce the most intense pulsed neutron beam in the world.
To help cities cope with disasters, the Urban Security Initiative links a wide range of urban subsystems -- including transportation, energy distribution, weather, infrastructure damage, water distribution, ecosystems, economic activities, geology and demographics -- into an integrated system that takes advantage of the Lab's high-performance computing capability.
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory have achieved a significant advance in demonstrating the viability of an unbreakable encryption scheme for transmitting communications to and from satellites.
A team of planetary scientists and physicists has identified a tiny, unexplained sunward acceleration in the motions of the Pioneer 10, 11 and Ulysses spacecraft. The anomalous acceleration was identified after detailed analyses of radio data from the spacecraft.
LANL scientists recently received a $120,000 grant from NASA to use Laboratory space insrument design and manufacturing expertise and test critical components of an instrument that may lead to a final product for use on a future mission to the Jupiter moon Europa
Pollutant-eating bacteria have been adapted to create a set of live bacterial biosensors that detect and signal the presence of phenol pollution. Identification system that allows "friends" to recognize each other. Facility where researchers grow single crystals.
Scientists have manipulated the atomic spin of molecules to demonstrate that reliable calculations can be made by a quantum computer. Researchers report on the first experimental use of quantum error correction and demonstrate a three-bit quantum computing system.
