NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman led a return visit to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) on Sept. 2 as part of NASA's "Inspiration Tour," meeting with Lab scientists and engineers to highlight LLNL's capabilities in areas including space science, national security, fusion, computing and other advanced technologies. Isaacman, who was joined by Department of Energy (DOE) Deputy Secretary James Danly, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Environmental Observation and Prediction Taylor Jordan, representatives from NASA, other

Sandwiched between the electrolyte and electrodes in a lithium-ion battery is a remarkably thin layer of material that strongly dictates battery performance and durability: the interphase. Although typically only a few to tens of nanometers thick, interphases are among the least understood components of an operating battery cell. Their complex and constantly evolving structures make it challenging to determine how their atomic features and microscopic variations translate into macroscopic battery performance. In a recent study, published in Advanced Energy Materials, researchers at

For nearly 30 years, LLNL has offered Teacher Research Academy (TRA) to middle school, high school and community college teachers looking for unique professional development experiences. At no cost to educators, TRA workshops offer classroom-focused applications of LLNL's groundbreaking science and technology. Over two weeks this summer, four different TRAs were offered as two-day workshops: Understanding Energy Technology, Drone Design & Application, Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the Classroom and Data Analytics for STEM Labs using AI.
