World-class facilities for cutting-edge research
Research partners from national laboratories, the global scientific community, academia and industry take advantage of the unprecedented research capabilities offered at Lawrence Livermore.
Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry
CAMS performs more than 25,000 accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) measurements per year to identify the isotopic composition of substances. It is the world's most versatile and productive AMS facility. The research made possible by CAMS is diverse, and includes...
Biomedical Accelerator Mass Spectrometry
The National Resource for Biomedical Accelerator Mass Spectrometry has been established to make AMS available to biomedical researchers who have a need for accurately measuring very low levels of 14C and other radioisotopes in their research. The resource is also...
Center for Micro- and Nanotechnologies
High-performance materials, devices, components and assemblies enabled by innovative design tools and novel manufacturing techniques....
High Explosives Applications Facility
HEAF's expansive first floor houses the many laboratories and facilities that make HEAF unique in the world. Chemistry laboratories exist for the synthesis, formulation, characterization, and testing of high explosives and other energetic materials. The firing operations area...
Joint Genome Institute
The mission of the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute is to advance genomics in support of clean energy generation and environmental characterization and cleanup. Supported by the DOE Office of Science, the institute unites the expertise of five national laboratories...
Jupiter Laser Facility
The Jupiter Laser Facility is an institutional user facility in the Physical and Life Sciences Directorate at LLNL. The facility is designed to provide a high degree of experimental flexibility and high laser shot rates, and to allow direct user operation of experiments....
National Atmospheric Release Advisory Center
NARAC provides tools and services to the Federal Government that map the probable spread of hazardous material accidentally or intentionally released into the atmosphere. NARAC provides atmospheric plume predictions in time for an emergency manager to decide...
National Ignition Facility
NIF provides the scientific community with an unprecedented capability for studying materials at extreme pressures, temperatures and densities. NIF experiments allow the study of physical processes at temperatures approaching...
Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison
The PCMDI mission is to develop improved methods and tools for the diagnosis and intercomparison of general circulation models (GCMs) that simulate the global climate. The need for innovative analysis of GCM climate simulations is apparent...
Site 300
Site 300 operates several facilities that perform unique experiments, such as shock physics, which examines how materials behave under high pressure and temperatures. Site 300 also fabricates explosives that are instrumental to the Laboratory's Stockpile Stewardship Program....
Terascale Simulation Facility
The 253,000-square-foot TSF houses some of the world's most powerful supercomputers, capable of performing trillions of operations per second (teraFLOPS)...
