That is why the Department of Energy Environmental Management and its contractor N3B continue to work to clean up legacy waste in Los Alamos.
Why we need supercomputers - and electricity - .
- By Thom Mason On Monday, Los Alamos National Laboratory will inaugurate our newest supercomputer, Venado, named for a peak in the mountains above Taos. It won’t be the world’s fastest supercomputer – that title belongs to Oak Ridge National Lab – but it will be one of the world’s first two supercomputers to integrate powerful superchips that use AI technology to accelerate speeds Calculation.

How NM labs used science to keep country safe post 9/11
The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, changed all of us in ways big and small — from our sense of security to how we travel. For New Mexico’s two national security laboratories, it meant quickly pivoting our scientific, engineering and technological resources to respond. As we reflect on the 20th anniversary, we’re reminded of the continuing need to be ready and equipped to counter the evolving threats that face our nation.

Our power grid is at risk: Big data and quantum keys can keep the power on [Opinion]
When Hurricane Harvey swept across southeastern Texas in 2017, 1.67 million customers lost power — and that doesn’t even make the top-10 list of the biggest power outages in U.S. history. The potential effects of widespread power outages are well known: disabled communications and transportation, contaminated water and nonfunctioning medical equipment, to name just a few. These are not only threats to personal security, but to national security as well.

America's security depends on nurturing cutting-edge science
In recent decades we have learned that not every major strategic threat to our country would likely come on the tip of a nuclear warhead. How can we prepare for an unanticipated threat? By staying scientifically and technologically ahead of everyone else. The continued effectiveness of this critical advantage -- author Richard Rhodes has called it the deterrence of knowledge -- depends on our nation continuing to invest in the science and scientists underpinning it.
