Future fusion facilities need materials that can provide reliable radiation shielding while also maintaining gas tightness and allowing components to be easily removed for maintenance. This is particularly important for areas where pipes and other components pass through radiation shielding structures. In a study published in Journal of Materials Research and Technology , a team led by Dr. HUO Zhi

Prof Ong hopes the AI Foundry can compress discovery cycles for new materials from months or years to weeks. Professor Shyue Ping Ong wants AI to do more than predict whether a material might work. His vision is a discovery system that can propose new materials for a specific purpose, identify the most useful experiments to run, learn from every result and help scientists understand why a material

Sensing systems typically use separate photoelectric sensors for non-contact perception and pressure sensors for contact perception. Because these sensors are spatially separated and often acquire signals at different times, their data must be aligned and fused afterward, introducing potential latency, positional mismatch, and signal crosstalk. In a study published in Nature Sensors , a team led b

The Livermore Lab Foundation (LLF) recently convened supporters, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) leaders, partners and community members to celebrate 10 years of philanthropic impact. The event recognized a decade dedicated to unlocking scientific potential, advancing groundbreaking research and inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders. "Ten years ago, we set out with a vision to connect philanthropic investments with cutting-edge scientific innovation," said LLF Board Chair Dona Crawford. "[This event] isn't just a milestone on a calendar; it's a reflection of what
Sorghum is the main raw material used to make Chinese Baijiu. However, different varieties can be difficult to distinguish quickly and accurately, making rapid quality screening a challenge. A team led by Prof. WANG Qi from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with Luzhou Laojiao Co., Ltd, developed two data-fusion methods for rapid and accurate identi

Diamond is more than a dazzling gem — the extremely hard form of carbon makes up the pellet that encases fuel for inertial confinement fusion, and scientists believe it rains down deep inside ice giant planets like Neptune and Uranus. In both cases, the material experiences enormous pressures. Until now, experiments and simulations have disagreed about how it actually behaves under those conditions. In a new study, published in Nature Physics, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) document how diamond melts under pressures three times greater than the conditions at

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is home to some of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of the century — from fusion ignition and exascale computing to monolithic telescopes. But thanks to LLNL's Innovation and Partnerships Office (IPO), those breakthroughs don't remain inside the fence. "We connect cutting-edge science with real-world applications, empowering businesses to thrive while advancing the United States' technological edge," said IPO Director Matthew Garrett. "IPO identifies economic opportunities, protects LLNL intellectual property, and transfers it to the

Researchers have proposed that wakefulness generates sleep-promoting substances detectable in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). However, identities of these molecules, neural circuits that produce and sense them, and how the brain's key sleep-wake regulatory neurons participate in this process, remain mysterious.
