The largest increases in energy supply came from natural gas, wind, and solar energy

For the first time, scientists have shown that human influences significantly impact the size of the seasonal cycle of temperature in the lowest layer of the atmosphere

Scientists have used some of the world’s most powerful supercomputers to model ground shaking for a magnitude 7.0 earthquake on the Hayward fault and show more realistic motions than ever before

Researchers have discovered that, by using laser-generated, hologram-like 3D images flashed into photosensitive resin, they can build complex 3D parts in a fraction of the time of traditional layer-by-layer printing

California’s winter precipitation has decreased over the last two decades, with the 2012-2016 drought being one of the most severe on record

The experiment was one in a series that aims to help ensure plutonium operations continue to be conducted safely

Technique promises an unparalleled combination of high-strength and high-ductility properties for a low-carbon type of stainless steel called 316L

LLNL will be part of a multi-lab effort to apply high-performance computing to U.S.-based industry's discovery, design, and development of materials for severe environments

Hydrogen can be used as a clean fuel in fuel cells, which produce power, with water and heat as the only byproducts

Through the technology—modeling a human heart on an engineered chip and measuring the effects of compound exposure on functions of heart tissue using microelectrodes—researchers hope to decrease the time needed for new drug trials

Designing for novel optical components instead of using off-the-shelf optics could reduce the size, weight, or cost of optics systems

The team showed that observed snowpack loss between the 1980s and 2000s is consistent with results from climate simulations with combined changes in natural factors and human influences

Metal 3D printing has enormous potential to revolutionize modern manufacturing

Work opens the door to greater control and optimization of the lightweight, yet stronger than steel material

Hydrogen is an excellent energy carrier, but the development of lightweight solid-state materials for compact, low-pressure storage is a huge challenge
