Researchers recently modeled the N210808 burning plasma inertial confinement fusion (ICF) shot at the NIF using Marbl, LLNL’s newest multi-physics code. Accurate modeling of radiation transport and thermonuclear burn is essential for understanding and optimizing ICF performance, supporting the NNSA’s nuclear security mission.

Terri Quinn, an icon of HPC leadership in the ASC program, retired from her position as LLNL’s Livermore Computing (LC) Systems and Environments Associate Program Director as of the end of October 2025. See also: https://asc.llnl.gov/hq/asc-headquarters-newsletter-archive/asc-newslet…
Scientists at LLNL and their collaborators have created a new class of programmable soft materials that can absorb impacts like never before, while also changing shape when heated. The research — which includes collaborators from Harvard University, the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), SNL, and Oregon State University — opens the door to smarter, lighter and more resilient materials that respond to the world around them. Read more in the LLNL news highlight.
