Thin explosive films provide snapshot of how detonations start

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Using thin films -- no more than a few pieces of notebook paper thick -- of a common explosive chemical, researchers from Sandia National Laboratories studied how small-scale explosions start and grow.

Vaccine development software shows promise in influenza effort, could help defeat coronavirus

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A novel computer algorithm that could create a broadly reactive influenza vaccine for swine flu also offers a path toward a pan-influenza vaccine and possibly a pan-coronavirus vaccine as well, according to a new paper published in Nature Communications.

A look into the mysteries of proton structure and the dynamics of antiquarks and gluons

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory

A complex high-energy nuclear physics experiment, aiming to measure the contributions of antiquarks to the structure of the proton and neutron, has produced results that are the opposite of what had previously been understood about proton structure and the dynamics of strong interacting antiquarks and gluons.

Freshwater outflow from Beaufort Sea could alter global climate patterns

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The Beaufort Sea, the Arctic Ocean's largest freshwater reservoir, has increased its freshwater content by 40 percent over the last two decades, putting global climate patterns at risk.

Small IT business wins Sandia's largest single subcontract

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Grant and Award Announcement

Sandia National Laboratories awarded an information technology subcontract of potentially up to $700 million over a possible seven years to a New Mexico small business. This is the largest subcontract Sandia has issued to date.

Machine learning aids in simulating dynamics of interacting atoms

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A revolutionary machine-learning (ML) approach to simulate the motions of atoms in materials such as aluminum is described in this week's Nature Communications journal.

Lack of symmetry in qubits can't fix errors in quantum computing, might explain matter/antimatter

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A team of quantum theorists seeking to cure a basic problem with quantum annealing computers--they have to run at a relatively slow pace to operate properly--found something intriguing instead.

Colloidal quantum dot lasers poised to come of age

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory

A new paper by authors from Los Alamos and Argonne national laboratories sums up the recent progress in colloidal-quantum-dot research and highlights the remaining challenges and opportunities in the rapidly developing field, which is poised to enable a wide array of new laser-based and LED-based technology applications.

Machine learning blazes path to reliable near-term quantum computers

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory

Using machine learning to develop algorithms that compensate for the crippling noise endemic on today's quantum computers offers a way to maximize their power for reliably performing actual tasks, according to a new paper.

Perseverance rover takes New Mexico to Mars

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory

When NASA's Mars Perseverance rover touches down on the surface of Mars on Feb. 18, a bit of New Mexico will land along with it, thanks to work done at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
