Energy Secretary recognizes exceptional project management at Los Alamos

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory

The team responsible for managing the Exascale Class Computing Cooling Equipment (ECCCE) project at Los Alamos National Laboratory was recognized by the Secretary of Energy with an Achievement Award last week. Construction of the project was completed last year, 10 months early and $20 million under budget.

Laboratory, partners secure $4.7 million in DOE funding

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory

Los Alamos National Laboratory and private-sector partners have secured a total of $4.7 million in Technology Commercialization Funds from the Department of Energy (DOE) to accelerate bringing cutting-edge energy technologies and solutions to the marketplace.

Emergent magnetic monopoles isolated using quantum-annealing computer

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Using a D-Wave quantum-annealing computer as a testbed, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have shown that it is possible to isolate so-called emergent magnetic monopoles, a class of quasiparticles, creating a new approach to developing "materials by design."

The hidden culprit killing lithium-metal batteries from the inside

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The first nanoscale images ever taken inside intact, lithium-metal coin batteries (also called button cells or watch batteries) challenge prevailing theories and could help make future high-performance batteries, such as for electric vehicles, safer, more powerful and longer lasting.
