Probing wet fire smoke in clouds: Can water intensify the Earth's warming?

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A first-of-its-kind instrument that samples smoke from megafires and scans humidity will help researchers better understand the scale and long-term impact of fires--specifically how far and high the smoke will travel, when and where it will rain, and whether the wet smoke will warm the climate by absorbing sunlight.

Next-generation tech for biofuels refining

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory

Helping to strengthen the economic viability of biorefineries in the production of alternative fuels derived from biomass is critical to decreasing the use of fossil fuels and mitigating carbon dioxide emissions.

Solving 'barren plateaus' is the key to quantum machine learning

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Many machine learning algorithms on quantum computers suffer from the dreaded "barren plateau" of unsolvability, where they run into dead ends on optimization problems.
