Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is a U.S. Department
of Energy national laboratory operated by the University of California.
LLNL was founded in September 1952 as a second nuclear weapons
design laboratory to promote innovation in the design of our nation's
nuclear stockpile through creative science and engineering. Livermore
has also become one of the world's premier scientific centers,
where cutting-edge science and engineering in the interest of
national security is used to break new ground in other areas of
national importance, including energy, biomedicine, and environmental
science.

Mimicking nature's crystalline structures
Scientists and engineers have long envied nature's ability to design crystalline structures whose properties are often superior to those of similar synthetic materials. Through a process called biomineralization, proteins orchestrate the growth processes of many natural minerals into designs that confer exceptional properties.
