Mixing it Up
Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory study what happens at the turbulent boundary of comingling fluids. Turbulence and related phenomena are at the center of fusion, supernovae behavior and other physics of interest in energy and national security.
A Place in the Sun
The United States needs ways to monitor the nuclear stockpile in an era that bans weapons testing. Experiments at Sandia National Laboratories offer a glimpse inside the sun – and conditions that stellar interiors share with nuclear weapons.
Scientist to the Stockpile
In the early '80s, Bill Goldstein was a newly minted theoretical physicist eager to discover something. The path led him to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he now leads hundreds of Department of Energy researchers ensuring the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear stockpile.
