One
of the few people to know the various components of the first atomic
bombs, George Cowan would become one of the leading nuclear researchers
in the country and a fixture at Los Alamos National Laboratory for
nearly 40 years. Still working with nonprofit science institute he
helped found, he died Friday as the result of a fall at his home.

Recently,
Los Alamos National Laboratory hosted an information security exercise
dubbed "Eventide" that put more than 100 participants from around the
country into a maelstrom of sensitive data leaks and cracked network
security. It’s hoped such trials by fire prepare the Department of
Energy’s facilities to cope with eventual compromises of cyber
integrity.

During
a six-experiment pulse this week, the previous world record for
laboratory-produced magnetic fields was broken by Los Alamos National
Laboratory researchers. The hundred-tesla field, about 2 million times
Earth’s magnetic field was produced with the help of a 1,200-MJ motor
generator.

Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists and an international research team have announced discovery of molecular oxygen ions in the upper-most atmosphere of Dione, one of the 62 known moons orbiting the ringed planet. The research was made possible by instruments aboard NASA's Cassini spacecraft, which was launched in 1997.

A
multinational team of scientists has developed a process for creating
glass-based, inorganic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that produce light
in the ultraviolet range. If successfully integrated into biomedical
devices, these would be the first robust, cheap to produce, and
chemically stable LEDs to operate in the medically-useful UV spectrum.

A
mysterious phenomenon detected by space probes has finally been
explained,
thanks to a massive computer simulation that was able to precisely align
with
details of spacecraft observations. The finding could not only solve an
astrophysical puzzle, but might also lead to a better ability to predict
high-energy electron streams in space that could damage satellites.
