LANL News:
Peaceful though it may seem from Earth, space is beset by “weather” that can prove perilous for the sensitive — and expensive — technology aboard the spacecraft and satellites increasingly populating the realms outside our atmosphere. To meet that challenge, Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers have developed the Compact Space Plasma Analyzer, a small and cost-efficient space sensor capable of measuring space weather, which will help protect technology in orbit.
“Space weather, Read More

LANL News:
A research team at Los Alamos National Laboratory is developing a new technology called the Non-destructive Alpha Spectrometer, or NDAlpha, which is the first field-deployable alpha spectrometer that is capable of “point and shoot” measurements of nuclear material or contaminated surfaces.
One of the key signatures of a nuclear accident is the release of alpha-emitting radionuclides such as plutonium.
“Alpha spectroscopy is exquisitely sensitive to these signatures, but normally Read More
Artificial Intelligence Helps Explore Chemistry Frontiers

In this workflow, nanoreactor simulations automatically sample reactive chemical space without relying on human intuition. The nanoreactor is a special class of atomistic simulations in which chemical reactions are induced by colliding molecules at high velocities. Active learning utilizes the machine learning potential, ANI-1xnr, to drive the nanoreactor dynamics Read More

LANL: Finding Of No Significant Impact Issued For Los Alamos County Reservoir Restoration Project
LANL News:
The National Nuclear Security Administration has issued a Finding of No Significant Impact for a Los Alamos County project to restore parts of Los Alamos Canyon including the reservoir and surrounding areas.
The Los Alamos County Department of Public Utilities is planning to restore and address sedimentation from post wildfire flooding impacts in in the canyon.
This restoration project includes: the upper watershed area above the reservoir, the reservoir, and the area where Los Alamos Canyon Creek, water pipeline and access road run parallel to each other down the valley. Read More
