Inside the gut, on the surface of the skin, and lining your ears, mouth and nose are colonies of millions of microbes. At LLNL, researchers are using that microbiome to predict disease in military service members and civilians. livermorelab.info/4ze90WB
Is dark matter in the room with us?
It makes up about 85% of the universe’s matter, yet we can’t see it directly. In celebration of Dark Matter Day, LLNL's Greg Sallaberry explores its ghostly presence and how scientists are searching for answers.
Using El Capitan's exascale capabilities, researchers developed detailed simulations of the seafloor and ocean to enable highly accurate tsunami forecasts. In a new episode of the Big Ideas Lab, explore how LLNL is pushing the boundaries of supercomputing: livermorelab.info/4zfcbgU
What exactly is the human gut?
LLNL's Nick Be explores how his team replicated the gut in three dimensions, with all its spectacular architecture and activity, on a fluidic chip the size of a microscope slide. livermorelab.info/47h9wXr
A LLNL-developed gamma-ray spectrometer is on the world’s first sample return mission to the Martian sphere. The sensor will help reveal the evolutionary history of the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos. livermorelab.info/4e5KgYl
A devastating tsunami could reach coastal communities in minutes.
What if scientists could accurately forecast its impact in seconds? Using El Capitan, LLNL researchers and collaborators demonstrated just that in simulated earthquake scenarios. livermorelab.info/4zfcbgU
Respiratory diseases can balloon from a few cases to epidemics or pandemics, making them a consideration in national security planning and preparation. Explore how scientists at LLNL are revealing patterns that could improve diagnosis and guide therapy. livermorelab.info/4zYyDuM
