Los Alamos National Laboratory

Los Alamos National Laboratory is hiring technicians across multiple fields — and you may be more qualified than you think. ✔️ Many roles require only a high school diploma ✔️ Paid, on-the-job training ✔️Opportunities to build in-demand technical skills ow.ly/JCJZ50YSxjp

Four Lab scientists — John Ortiz, Afroditi Papadopoulou, Stella Schindler and Chinonso Ugwumadu — have received prestigious Lindau Nobel Laureate Fellowships! Congratulations to these scientists as they help shape the future of science on a global stage. ow.ly/QPHy50YTBRY

A fresh perspective on quantum computing 👇 Researchers find that some quantum learning models can actually be simulated on classical computers — challenging assumptions about quantum advantage. ow.ly/CpBG50YRlXM

Were there lakes on Mars? Los Alamos scientists say yes. Using ChemCam on NASA’s Curiosity rover, researchers found high levels of iron, manganese and zinc in Gale Crater — evidence of preserved ripples from an ancient shallow lake. ow.ly/ZCZJ50YO4k8 📸 NASA/JPL-Caltech

What if AI could do more than assist with research? What if it could collaborate — helping design and carry out experiments from start to finish? Meet URSA, an open-source, agentic AI system developed to push the boundaries of how science gets done. ow.ly/X8iu50YKFpE

Cristian Pantea, a research scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, has been named the Lab's 2025 Battelle Inventor of the Year. He is recognized for sustained leadership and innovation in acoustic sensing technologies. Learn more about his work: ow.ly/1W3V50YKFj6

Turning breakthrough science into real-world impact takes more than a strong idea. It takes the right support. NM LEEP is a two-year fellowship that supports deep-tech entrepreneurs advancing innovations from concept to commercialization. Learn more: ow.ly/aJez50YzTkm

Shooting stars 🎥 When he’s not filming science at the Lab, staff videographer Frank Guerra loves shooting celestial scenery.

AI is reshaping how materials are built — starting at the surface. The method could help accelerate materials development and improve production efficiency across the Lab’s manufacturing capabilities. Explore the breakthrough 👉 ow.ly/M0iI50YyR9j

Quantum twist: what if a system behaves as if time runs backward? Los Alamos scientists designed quantum control protocols that alter a system’s “arrow of time,” enabling new ways to extract energy and prepare quantum states. Read more 👉 ow.ly/pAqn50YxIIY

From fundamental science to future missions: Los Alamos researchers are advancing what we know about moonquakes — and why they matter. 🌕 ow.ly/PG0X50YvsaA

From graduation to operating a particle accelerator 🎓 New physics grads get hands-on learning experience while contributing to critical missions. 👉 ow.ly/510k50YlUtY
