LANL News:
- Arrays of nanomagnets have string structures with complex topological processes
A multi-institutional team exploring the physics of collective behavior has developed and measured a model nanomagnetic array in which the behavior can be best understood as that of a set of wiggling strings. The strings, which are composed of connected points of high energy among the lattice, can stretch Read More
Los Alamos Research Examines Key Factors Related To COVID-19 Variant Dynamics
- The study is the most comprehensive characterization of global COVID-19 variant transitions to date
A team of researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory recently published the most comprehensive study of global COVID-19 variant transitions, which showed significant diversity in variant spread around the globe related to vaccination rates, number of co-circulating variants and immunity from previous infection. The paper was published
Fulton: Fond Memories Of 30 Years Working At LANL
By DOUG FULTON
Retired LANL Employee
I am now in Grand Junction, Colo. and occasionally look at the online Los Alamos Daily Post. I was surprised and very happy to see yesterday’s edition with a picture of four people that I worked with when we were all much younger (link).
Jim Ogle was Deputy Group Leader of P-14 when I joined the Group as a postdoc in 1985.
Randy Carlson was a valued friend and colleague when we developed the Cygnus x-ray sources for the Armando SCE that was executed at the Test Site in 2004.
Joe Ladish was my Group Leader, in P-22, when I started as the Project lead to develop the Cygnus Read More
100+ Years Of Collective LANL Experience Get-Together
Four retired Los Alamos National Laboratory workers and close friends got together today, May 2, in White Rock to reminisce and touch base with one another. Collectively the four represent more than 100 years of Laboratory experience. Coming from various parts of the country and backgrounds, the four shared the common experience of working at one of the most prestigious laboratories in the world. All four agreed on how fortunate they had been to wind up in a remote, historically significant, town where they spent the bulk of their professional careers. This photo depicts the four former Laboratory Read More
