Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

At #LLNL, the realm of what’s possible is only bounded by the questions we’re willing to ask. Our teams fearlessly and relentlessly pursue big ideas using innovative science and technology to meet our national security mission and to make the world a better place.

Strong with the science, this Lab is. From high-performance computing to fusion ignition, LLNL researchers are turning science fiction into reality for national security and beyond. #Maythe4th be with you.

Join our virtual tour of the National Ignition Facility today at 11 a.m. PT! Register here: llnlfed.webex.com/weblink/regist…

CESER & @Livermore_Lab have launched an AI testbed to strengthen AI cybersecurity for the energy sector. The new platform helps utilities & technology providers understand AI model attacks, resilience, & impacts on energy applications. Learn more: energy.gov/ceser/articles…

How do you speed up the search for better battery materials? The SPOC platform automates polymer screening and has already been used to evaluate more than 860 solid polymer electrolyte formulations in one year. livermorelab.info/4ugh1HF

Register today for the 2026 Teacher Research Academy at @Livermore_Lab. Middle school, high school and community college educators are invited to participate in FREE, in-person professional development led by LLNL scientists and engineers. livermorelab.info/3wpNL9k

LLNL’s annual prescribed burn at Site 300 is scheduled to begin the week of May 18. The planned burn supports ongoing wildfire risk reduction efforts and helps maintain safe conditions at the site south of Tracy. livermorelab.info/4urhsiJ

A major milestone for Pandora: the mission has returned its first engineering images from orbit. LLNL’s CODA telescope is helping pave the way for future observations of exoplanet atmospheres and the search for features like water vapor, clouds and haze. livermorelab.info/3OQweAo

Congratulations to two #LLNL teams selected for @Energy's Energy I-Corps Cohort 22. With their industry mentors, they will advance Lab-developed technologies toward commercialization in an intensive entrepreneurial training program. livermorelab.info/422HaOn

Computational math & CS students, save the dates! The annual MFEM workshop drops on Sep 22-25 (@GTCSE & Zoom). Free hands-on tutorial on day 1 plus talks, posters, vis contest, & more. Check it out: mfem.org/workshop

A new HPC4EI call from @energy is giving U.S. manufacturers the chance to work with national labs and use supercomputing, modeling, simulation and #AI to tackle materials and manufacturing challenges. Concept papers are due May 27. Learn more: livermorelab.info/4w0l5xq

At Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, your role as a Machinists / Senior Machinists is more than a job, it's a chance to contribute to world-changing advancements and innovation. bit.ly/420UVgo #MachinistLife #EngineeringOpportunities

The fission and fusion facilities of the future rely on isotopes of lithium. With a new award from the @Energy technology commercialization fund, @Livermore_Lab researchers are partnering with industry to demonstrate lithium isotope enrichment at scale. livermorelab.info/4ufRn5Y

The Hayward fault — running 74 miles through the Bay Area — is overdue for a major earthquake. Scientists at @Livermore_Lab & @BerkeleyLab simulated 50 magnitude-7 scenarios to understand ground motion and help engineers prepare vulnerable buildings. livermorelab.info/4t0hQU3

Forty years after Chernobyl, LLNL's NARAC is reflecting on a defining moment in its history. What began as an urgent response to a global crisis helped shape the advanced atmospheric modeling and emergency response capabilities NARAC provides today. livermorelab.info/4sSwjS4

Seventeen early-career scientists. Three minutes. One slide. At the 2026 National Lab Research SLAM, @Energy researchers presented their latest breakthroughs. LLNL’s Keegan Orr even explained hypersonic flight by using pizza delivery as an analogy. livermorelab.info/3OImU1k

LLNL has been named @AMBayArea 2026 Manufacturer of the Year in the large manufacturer category, recognizing the Lab’s leadership in advanced manufacturing, materials, engineering and national security innovation. Learn more: livermorelab.info/48kUK3b

Happy World Laboratory Day! Today we recognize the scientists, engineers, and teams working to solve our country’s toughest challenges. @ENERGY’s 17 National Labs are where science moves from ideas to results, driving breakthroughs in fusion energy, quantum systems, and more.

What does it take to study plutonium under extreme conditions? In the latest #BigIdeasLab episode, LLNL scientists share how JASPER experiments generate precise data that helps strengthen science-based stockpile modernization and support national security. livermorelab.info/4dWT6s0

Scientists at @Livermore_Lab are using bacterial proteins to separate the rare-earth elements that are everywhere in electronics. Now, a new technique named SpyCI-LAMBS (pronounced “spicy lambs”) allows them to screen these proteins at unprecedented scale. livermorelab.info/4tteQAw

In a remote corner of the Nevada desert, scientists at JASPER study one of the most consequential materials on Earth: plutonium. In a new episode of #BigIdeasLab, explore how a bold experimental concept became a trusted national asset. livermorelab.info/4dWT6s0
