Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
A federally funded research and development center in the United States operating under the Department of Energy. It conducts scientific research related to national security, including work on nuclear weapons, energy, and advanced technologies.
Timeline (last 90 days)
In December 2022, the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the United States achieved net energy gain from controlled nuclear fusion (Q>1) for the first time, with laser input of about 2.05 megajoules and fusion output of about 3.15 megajoules.
In the 1990s, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory proposed the Super High Altitude Research Project (SHARP), attempting to use an electromagnetic railgun to send small satellites into low Earth orbit.
Slurm is an open-source cluster management and job scheduling system developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
In December 2022, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the United States achieved Q>1 inertial confinement fusion for the first time, obtaining 3.15 megajoules of fusion energy from 2.05 megajoules of laser energy input.
In that experiment, the laser consumed 300 megajoules of electrical energy, meaning the overall result was still an energy deficit, and the experiment was pulsed.
