LANL’s National Security Science Magazine Summer 2024: The New Mexico Issue Focuses On State
New Mexico abounds with places to see the stars, thanks to low levels of light pollution. With that in mind, Los Alamos National Laboratory student Aerin Jacobson set out one August evening to photograph the Milky Way above this radio telescope, which is located on Lab property and is part of the Very Long Baseline Array—a network of 10 radio telescopes across the United States that is operated f rom the Array Operations Center in Socorro. Scientists use the radio telescopes to study radio signals from astronomical sources. Courtesy/LANL

LANL News:
A new open-source code developed by researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) accurately simulates the performance of manufactured parts accounting for the microstructure to make them stronger, safer, and better-performing.
Called Fierro, the code performs multiscale and multiphysics simulations, meaning it can simultaneously simulate different aspects of physical systems and their interactions across varied time and length scales. Fierro also offers multiphysics Read More

LANL News:
Two new papers, both authored by Mohamed Mehana of the Earth and Environmental Sciences division at Los Alamos National Laboratory, explore the feasibility of well retrofitting and clean hydrogen production from fossil fuels.
“With no action taken, over 5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide will leak into the atmosphere annually from the Intermountain West region,” Mehana wrote in the paper. “This volume is the equivalent of 1 million cars’ annual exhausts.”
