Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has been honored with a Gold 2016 Optimas Award for Recruiting from Workforce Magazine, recognizing the Lab for excellence in its military internship programs.
New research by an international team shows that the present thinning and retreat of Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica is part of a climatically forced trend that was triggered in the 1940s.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory physicist Manyalibo (Ibo) Matthews has been elected as a fellow of the Optical Society for his “outstanding contributions and sustained leadership in the field of high power laser-induced damage science, laser-material interactions and processing, and vibrational spectroscopy-based materials characterization.”
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have garnered three awards among the top 100 industrial inventions worldwide.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have identified a mechanism that causes low clouds – and their influence on Earth’s energy balance – to respond differently to global warming depending on their spatial pattern and location.
Four Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists have been selected as 2016 fellows of the American Physical Society (APS). Adam Bernstein, Hui Chen, Omar Hurricane and James Trebes were given this distinct honor for their exceptional contributions to the field of physics through research, leadership and applications of physics.
ASML, a leading provider of computer chip manufacturing equipment, is tapping Lawrence Livermore expertise in supercomputing and laser plasma physics to improve the performance of the light source for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, which is used to make microchips for the semiconductor industry.
Members of Lawrence Livermore National Lab’s Additive Manufacturing Initiative are among a group of researchers who have developed 3D printed metamaterials with a unique property--instead of expanding when heated, they shrink. Possible applications for these materials could come in securing parts that tend to move out of alignment under varying heat loads, including microchips and high precision optical mounts.
LLNL researchers have demonstrated for the first time how an asteroid or comet could have caused a mega crater on Mars’ largest moon Phobos — which resembles the Death Star from the film “Star Wars” — without completely destroying the satellite.
The Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE) has tapped Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to lead development of the training program for the new Build4Scale Manufacturing Training for Cleantech Entrepreneurs (Build4Scale) initiative, funding $1 million over the next 10 months. The program will teach entrepreneurs and engineers the tools they need to scale up production, and will be offered nationally through startup incubators, Manufacturing Extension Partnerships (MEPs), universities, community colleges, or DOE national laboratories.
On September 18, 2016, Lawrence Livermore’s National Ignition Facility performed its 400th experiment of fiscal year (FY) 2016. In comparison, the facility completed 356 experiments in FY15 and 191 experiments in FY14. NIF is on track to complete 415 experiments by the end of the fiscal year, more than doubling its FY14 accomplishments.
Scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have found that, contrary to popular belief, the Earth is not comprised of the same material found in primitive meteorites (also known as chondrites).
The U.S. Department of Energy’s High Performance Computing for Manufacturing program, designed to spur the use of national lab supercomputing resources and expertise to advance innovation in energy efficient manufacturing, is now seeking a new round of proposals from industry to compete for $3 million in new funding.
In an important breakthrough for the forensic science community, researchers have developed the first-ever biological identification method that exploits the information encoded in proteins of human hair.
Retired Air Force Gen. Larry D. Welch is the second recipient of the John S. Foster Jr. Medal for his dedication to the security of the nation, earning a reputation as an inspirational leader, team builder and innovator.
A U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) program designed to spur the use of high performance supercomputers to advance U.S. manufacturing has funded 13 new industry projects for a total of $3.8 million.
LLNL researchers measure how forces move through 3D granular materials, such as sand and soil, which has applications in fracking and in identifying underground explosives.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have demonstrated the 3D printing of shape-shifting structures that can fold or unfold to reshape themselves when exposed to heat or electricity, an approach also known as “4D printing." The micro-architected structures, including boxes, conductive devices, and a stent, were fabricated from a conductive, environmentally responsive ‘smart’ ink developed at the Lab.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists examine the high-pressure structural behavior of magnesium chloride, which could work to neutralize biological weapons.
International scientists have identified the dynamics of the core of one of the most massive objects in the known universe, bringing some insight into cosmology of clusters of galaxies.
In work that aims to protect soldiers, a team of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists have created a material that is highly breathable yet protective from biological agents. This material is the first key component of futuristic smart uniforms that also will respond to and protect from environmental chemical hazards.
