@PNNLab
researchers are developing ways to deploy machine-learning capabilities in harsh or unpredictable environments while moving data across different types of computers. It's hard. But they are up to the challenge. 📡🖥️🧑🔬
Beginning in the 1950s, the "White Train" was one of the ways
@PantexPlant
shipped warhead components. For more than 30 years, it was considered the safest transit method available -- and had a perfect track record. 🚆

efforts. Its mission is to prevent radiological terrorism and works with partners around the world to secure and reduce the use of radioactive materials. ☢️
New research from a team
@LosAlamosNatLab
is improving landslide prediction capabilities, making simulations faster and more accurate, which in turn will improve safety for communities that are at risk of their infrastructure being washed away.

@SandiaLabs
and
@ASU
are collaborating to advance how light can carry quantum information by transforming large-scale optical systems into compact integrated microsystems. This will have applications from advanced computing to secure communications.
The heaviest doors in the world were built at
@Livermore_Lab
for experiments long completed. How does the lab close the door on them, and other facilities, for good? 🚪🧑🔧🐦🔥
A recent study shows that the
@SandiaLabs
Science & Technology Park has played a critical role in New Mexico’s economy over the last 25 years, creating high-paying jobs and bringing state-of-the-art technologies to the marketplace.
#NNSA
staff from across the Nuclear Security Enterprise gathered at Sandia National Laboratories to discuss enterprise-wide secure networks and computing. Attendees shared ways to provide secure communication services between their organizations.
When your model predicts one thing and experiments show you something else -- you adjust the model. That's exactly what

scientists did when the X-ray energy timing at the National Ignition Facility looked wonky. 💥📋👩🔬

@IUPAC
determines names of the elements? In the 1960s teams in Dubna, Russia and Berkeley, California discovered radioactive elements, No.104 rutherfordium AKA kurchatovium and No.105 dubnium AKA nielsbohrium. The IUPAC chose the final names.
