Swirling dense metallic hydrogen dominates the interiors of Jupiter, Saturn and many extra-solar planets. Building precise models of these giant planets requires an accurate description…
New research from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory reveals that Jupiter is the oldest planet in our solar system. By looking at tungsten and molybdenum…
Using a proton probe to directly image electromagnetic fields, scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory present evidence of Weibel-generated magnetic fields that grow in…
Researchers from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory show that the “warming hiatus” that has occurred over the last 15 years has been caused in part…
Using 2005-2013 data from the Argo buoys, NASA’s Jason-1 and Jason-2 satellites and GRACE satellites, scientists found that deep ocean warming contributed virtually nothing to…
Engineers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have developed a way to design and fabricate new microscale cushioning materials with a broad range of programmable…
Using the largest laser in the world, scientists were able to experimentally recreate the conditions that exist deep inside giant planets for the first time….
Using the Gemini Planet Imager, astronomers have identified the orbit and the size of exoplanet Beta Pictoris b. Using one of the world’s largest telescopes,…
A newly published study shows that the basic building blocks of life as we know it can be assembled anywhere in the Solar System, confirming…
A newly published study suggests that life on earth may have started as a result of icy comets that crashed into Earth billions of years…
The newly installed Sequoia IBM Bluegene/Q system at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories set a new record in computational science by successfully becoming the first supercomputer…
The failure of the US National Ignition Facility’s six-year campaign to demonstrate fusion in the lab has the government deciding on a more methodical path…
A newly published paper details how scientists created a model for exploring how electromagnetic fields help organize ionized gas in astrophysical settings, giving scientists a…
While scientists continue to monitor climate change and the cause and effect on the environment, a new study from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory looks…
Researchers have gained a deeper insight into planet formation by studying the phase changes between different types of melts. Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory…
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have created the world’s first “atomic X-ray laser.” By aiming SLAC’s Linac Coherent…
