Explosives go 'green'
(01 Sep 2008)
Certain explosives may soon get a little greener and a little more precise. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers added unique green solvents (ionic liquids) to an explosive called TATB (1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene) and ...

Scientists determine strength of 'liquid smoke'
(31 Jul 2008)
Researchers have created a 3D image of a material referred to as "liquid smoke." Aerogel, also known as liquid smoke or "San Francisco fog," is an open-cell polymer with pores smaller than 50 nanometers in diameter. For the first time, Lawrence ...

LLNL teams with Quantum Fuel Systems to accelerate development of hydrogen storage technologies
(02 Apr 2008)
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is working with Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies on a next-generation manufacturing technique for hydrogen storage vessels. As part of a $5.6 million three-year contract with the U.S. Department of Energy, ...

LLNL researchers create tool to monitor nuclear reactors
(14 Mar 2008)
International inspectors may have a new tool in the form of an antineutrino detector, that could help them peer inside a working nuclear reactor. A Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory-Sandia National Laboratories' team recently demonstrated that ...

Explosives at the microscopic scale produce shocking results
(12 Dec 2007)
U.S. troops blew up enemy bridges with explosives in World War II to slow the advance of supplies or enemy forces. In modern times, patrollers use explosives at ski resorts to purposely create avalanches so the runs are safer when skiers arrive. ...

Encoded metallic nanowires reveal bioweapons
(15 Aug 2006)
Striped nanowires of silver and gold for parallel detection of various pathogens
When dangerous infectious diseases or biological weapons are suspected, fast help is required. The first step is a reliable, sensitive, and unambiguous, yet also fast and simple, identification of the pathogen; preferably, this test should be ...

Nanotube membranes offer possibility of cheaper desalination
(22 May 2006)
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have created a membrane made of carbon nanotubes and silicon that may offer, among many possible applications, a less expensive desalinization. The nanotubes are hollow and more than 50,000 times ...

Researchers find metal gets stronger with three or more line dislocations
(02 May 2006)
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have discovered that three is the magic number when it comes to strengthening metals. Since the Iron Age, metallurgists have known that metals such as steel become stronger and harder the more you ...
-
New class of metal nitrides could lead to more durable semiconductors
(06 Mar 2006)
New research shows that a novel class of nitrides made from noble metals can be synthesized under extreme conditions and are likely to have unusual or even unique properties that would be useful in semiconductor, superconductor and corrosion-resistan...

Nano-Probes Allow an Inside Look at Cell Nuclei
(22 Mar 2005)
Nanotechnology may be in its infancy, but biologists may soon use it to watch the inner workings of a living cell like never before. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Lawrence ...
