[2], 25, [1] pages. Includes illustrations. Most illustrations in color. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Mailing information and sticker on back cover. Los Alamos National Laboratory is a United States Department of Energy national laboratory initially organized during World War II for the design of nuclear weapons as part of the Manhattan Project. Los Alamos was at the time it was known as Project Y, one of a series of laboratories located across the United States given letter names to maintain their secrecy. Los Alamos was the centre for design and overall coordination. Los Alamos was the heart of the project, collecting together some of the world's most famous scientists, among them Nobel Prize winners. The lab's existence was announced to the world in the post-WWII era. With the ending of the cold war, the lab turned increasingly to civilian missions. Today, Los Alamos is one of the largest science and technology institutions in the world. It conducts research in fields such as national security, space exploration, nuclear fusion, renewable energy, medicine, nanotechnology, and supercomputing. The Los Alamos Science and Technology Magazine delivers the most significant research initiatives and accomplishments of the Laboratory to a diverse audience. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is charged with a large and complex mission-"to ensure America's security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions." The DOE executes this mission to a large extent at its seventeen national laboratories. In recognition of the importance of the long-term health of these institutions, the U.S. Congress has authorized and encouraged them to devote a relatively small portion of their research effort to creative and innovative work that serves to maintain their vitality in science and technology (S&T) disciplines relevant to DOE and national security missions. Since 1991, this effort has formally been called Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD). Whenever 1663 reports on research that received support from LDRD, the LDRD logo appears at the end of the article. Presumed First Edition, First Printing thus.
