LANL News:
The U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA) Los Alamos Field Office has issued a National Environmental Policy Act categorical exclusion determination (CX) for the proposal to construct, use, and maintain a multi-level parking structure (approximately 200,000 square feet) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) within Technical Area 03 (TA-3).
The purpose of the project is to provide LANL with additional and upgraded parking infrastructure to reduce a chronic parking Read More
Catch Of The Week: FBI Warning On Ransomware
By BECKY RUTHERFORDLANL: Modified Quantum Dots Capture More Energy From Light And Lose Less To Heat
Doping a quantum dot with manganese (right half of graphic) speeds the capture of energy from a hot electron to 0.15 picoseconds, outpacing losses to phonons in the crystal lattice. Courtesy/LANL
LANL News:
- Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers discover a new approach for capturing energy from light-generated, ‘hot’ electrons, avoiding wasteful heat loss
Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists have synthesized magnetically-doped quantum dots that capture the kinetic energy of electrons created by ultraviolet light before it’s wasted as heat.
“This discovery Read More
