Discovery of new material could someday aid in nuclear nonproliferation

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory

A newly discovered quasicrystal that was created by the first nuclear explosion at Trinity Site, N.M., on July 16, 1945, could someday help scientists better understand illicit nuclear explosions and curb nuclear proliferation.

Planting seeds and growing hope

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Grant and Award Announcement

National Technology and Engineering Solutions of Sandia, on behalf of Sandia National Laboratories, recently gave more than $538,000 in grants that focus on families and education as part of its corporate contributions program.

Quantum machine learning hits a limit

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new theorem from the field of quantum machine learning has poked a major hole in the accepted understanding about information scrambling.

Simulating sneezes and coughs to show how COVID-19 spreads

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Two groups of researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have published papers on the droplets of liquid sprayed by coughs or sneezes and how far they can travel under different conditions. Both teams used Sandia's decades of experience with advanced computer simulations studying how liquids and gases move for its nuclear stockpile stewardship mission.
