When you need tools or parts for something you’re working on around the house, you head to the nearest hardware store. Space travelers don’t have that luxury and may have to make their own tools and ...

Growing up, we all had to do all kinds of science projects in school. For Baby Boomers, here are several classic science projects that just about everyone had to do at least once.

Researchers grew a twisted multilayer crystal structure for the first time and measured the structure's key properties. The twisted structure could help researchers develop next-generation materials ...

For almost as long as Lawrence Livermore has existed, scientists have been experimenting with materials to learn what happens to them under high pressure. In the brief instant of a high-explosive ...

Students in Professor David Dunand’s research group are playing video games on the clock. But they aren’t slacking or procrastinating — they’re translating technical research into fun and educational ...
