Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory News
Laser Research Provides Insight into Planet Formation
LIVERMORE, Calif., Feb. 14, 2012 — Phase changes in liquid magmas at pressures and temperatures that exist deep inside Earth-like planets could provide insight into the processes that govern planet formation.
New Atomic X-ray Laser Created
LIVERMORE, Calif., Feb. 3, 2012 — The shortest, purest x-ray laser pulses ever achieved were created by aiming the Linac Coherent Light Source at a capsule of neon gas, setting off an avalanche of x-ray emissions.
Laser Hints at Magnetism’s Origins
OXFORD, England, Feb. 1, 2012 — Using a high-power laser to simulate the conditions under which the first galaxies formed, scientists may have uncovered a clue as to how magnetism originated in the universe.
Linac Creates 2-Million-Degree Matter
MENLO PARK, Calif., Jan. 25, 2012 — A 2-million-degree piece of “hot, dense matter” was created and probed in a controlled way for the first time using the SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source. This feat takes scientists a significant step forward in understanding the most extreme...
Laser-Produced Proton Beams Open New Research Areas
LIVERMORE, Calif., Dec. 8, 2011 — Recent proton beam experiments using high-intensity lasers have unveiled a new way to heat material and create novel states of matter in the laboratory. This advance could lead to medical applications and even offer insight into planetary science....
Albright Named 11th LLNL Director
LIVERMORE, Calif., Nov. 7, 2011 — Penrose “Parney” C. Albright was named the 11th director of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory by Norman J. Pattiz, chairman of Lawrence Livermore National Security, which manages the lab for the US Department of Energy. ...
Diamond aerogel could improve optics
LIVERMORE, Calif. – A nanocrystalline diamond aerogel could spell big improvements to optics for applications as large as telescopes or as small as eyeglass lenses. At Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), a laser-heated diamond anvil cell and a standard...
Diamond Aerogel Could Improve a Range of Optics
LIVERMORE, Calif., May 19, 2011 — By combining high pressure with high temperature, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have created a nanocrystalline diamond aerogel that could improve the optics for something as big as a telescope or as small as the lenses in...
X-ray Laser Lights Up Little Wonders
MENLO PARK, Calif., Feb. 3, 2011 — Two new studies demonstrate how the unique capabilities of the world’s first hard X-ray free-electron laser — the Linac Coherent Light Source, located at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory — could...
1st Successful Ignition Experiment at NIF
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25, 2010 — The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) announced that the National Ignition Facility (NIF) recently completed its first integrated ignition experiment. In the test, the 192-beam laser...
Shocking Results from DACs
LIVERMORE, Calif., July 14, 2010 — Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) physicists are using an ultrafast laser-based technique they dubbed “nanoshocks” to study shock behavior in tiny samples such as thin films or other systems with microscopic dimensions (a few...
Laser Strips, Hollows Out Atoms
MENLO PARK, Calif., June 30, 2010 — The world’s brightest x-ray source has been used to strip neon atoms of all their electrons, and also to create "hollow" atoms, which are devoid of only their innermost electrons. The first published scientific results from the hard x-ray...
Lantis Laser, Perio-Imaging to Merge
DENVILLE, N.J., June 18, 2010 — Lantis Laser Inc. announced it will merge with Perio-Imaging Inc., a private New York-based company that makes an ultrasongographic periodontal probe system. The merger would be an all-stock transaction. The name of the new company will be announced...
Women’s Hall of Fame Welcomes Poyneer
LIVERMORE, Calif., April 29, 2010 — Lisa Poyneer has been inducted into the Alameda County Women’s Hall of Fame for her work in adaptive optics and the development of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI), which will be the world’s most powerful astronomical adaptive optics...
Crystal-Clear Research
Apr 12, 2010 — Exciting new findings about crystals – on subjects as diverse as diamonds, peptide nanofibers and colloids – could prove useful in science and industry, perhaps leading to new nanoscale constructs and better electronics. Diamond in...
Photonics West 2010 Sets Records
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5, 2010 — SPIE Photonics West completed its debut at the Moscone Center in San Francisco last week with the final attendance count at 18,327, a record for the event. The new venue was a hit with attendees, and provided welcome room for growth. Both the...
NIF Achieves Historic Laser Shot
LIVERMORE, Calif., Feb. 1, 2010 – Scientists at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have delivered a historic level of laser energy – more than 1 megajoule – to a t...
Laser Gauges Diamond’s Strength
LIVERMORE, Calif., Jan. 28, 2010 – Diamond, one of the hardest solids on Earth, is so strong that it can easily cut through glass and steel. Surprisingly, very little is known about the strength of diamond at ex...
Laser Re-creates Stellar Jet
HOUSTON, Dec. 10, 2009 – At the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics in New York state, a team led by Rice University’s Patrick Hartigan used a powerful laser beam to re-create, on a small scale, the highly supersonic velocities at work in newborn...
CLEO's Crème de la Crème
BALTIMORE, Md., June 2, 2009 -- It was evident that there's a lot of excitement surrounding this year's CLEO/IQEC conference, which features more than 300 participating companies and groundbreaking research. On Monday, the Baltimore Convention Center, which boasts a kind of...
