LANL: Using Laser-Driven Neutrons to Stop Nuclear Smugglers
A burst of laser energy 50 times greater than the worldwide output of electrical power slams into an extremely thin foil target to produce neutrons at Los Alamos National Laboratory’s TRIDENT laser facility during a recent experiment, which proved that laser-driven neutrons can be used to detect and interdict smuggled nuclear materials.

SFI Talk Focuses on Evoution, Information and Two-Dimensional Probability
SFI News:
Michael Lachmann from Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology will give a talk titled “Evolution, Information and Two-Dimensional Probability.”
Lachmann’s talk is 3:30 p.m. Thursday, June 6 in the Noyce Conference Room at the Santa Fe Institute, 1399 Hyde Park Road in Santa Fe.
What is a signal worth, how much information does it carry? Two different approaches tackle this question in biology. On the one hand, one can measure the information carried by the signal in bits — the entropy reduction that it provides, on the other, one can ask about the fitness benefit Read More
