LANL

Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory in the US have confirmed a 7.68 oz (217.78 g) piece of gold is in fact a singular crystal. The specimen was discovered in Venezuela decades earlier, but it is only by using an advanced probing instrument can experts now verify its authenticity.

The ATHENA project, which is developing a "desktop human" for for screening both new drugs and toxic agents, has reported success in the development of its first organ construct, a human liver construct that responds to exposure to a toxic chemical much like a real liver.

A LANL pulsed magnet has generated a world record 100.75 Tesla magnetic pulse, and lived to tell the story.

Scientists have fabricated yet another transparent thin film capable of absorbing light and generating electric charge over a relatively large area that could be used to develop transparent solar panels that could be used in solar generating windows.

Researchers using computer simulations have created a mechanism whereby displaced atoms (caused by radiation) are returned to their rightful place.

Roadrunner, the world’s fastest supercomputer, is being used to model one of the largest simulations of the distribution of matter in the universe to provide a better understanding of dark energy and dark matter.

A collaboration between IBM and the Los Alamos National Laboratory has resulted in the world's fastest supercomputer. Roadrunner can run at speeds above the "petaflop barrier" of 1,000 trillion operations per second, making it twice as fast as
