LANL News:

The groundbreaking MicroBooNE project, a 170-ton liquid argon neutrino detector housed at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, has offered new results in the detector’s yearslong investigation of anomalies from previous experiments. As described in Nature, final data analyzed by the MicroBooNE team disfavors the existence of a sterile neutrino in one possible model, while leaving open other possibilities for continued physics investigation.

From Los Alamos National Laboratory:

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) ensures our national security. Achieving that mission starts with the National Security Research Center (NSRC). The NSRC is the classified library at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Watch video here: https://nsrc.lanl.gov/.

The NSRC traces its lineage to the technical library formed by J. Robert Oppenheimer in 1943 as part of the Manhattan Project. We are part of the Lab’s fascinating history. Today, the NSRC is one of the largest scientific/technical Read More

For the Los Alamos Daily Post

There are few modern purchases more comforting than a robot vacuum. You name it something cute (Mine is named “mega maid” iykyk). You watch it bonk into furniture. You pretend it is your hardworking little cleaning buddy. You fantasize about your cat riding around on it. Normal things.

Unfortunately, your hardworking little buddy may also be a mobile camera, microphone, and home mapping system waiting for a backend security mistake.

Which is exactly what happened recently, yikes!

A software engineer was trying to do something extremely Read More

Los Alamos National Laboratory might be the only large scientific institution where it’s possible to do world-class science in the morning, ski powder at lunch, and be back in the office for a two o’clock meeting. One crisp and snowy January morning, this point wasn’t lost on three Lab managers and volunteer ski patrollers—Katie Higgins, Hans Herrmann, and Eric Brown. They were lounging inside Pajarito Mountain’s patrol shack, waiting Read More
