Ultraviolet (UV) light is why we wear sunscreen and sunglasses – because overexposure damages living tissue. It also enables scientific applications for NNSA, including nuclear fusion and protection from viruses.
The entire rainbow of radiation that the human eye can see makes up just 0.0035 percent of the spectrum. At NNSA it helps us ensure that we’re working with pure materials, watch for missile launches, and create flat lenses.
Although it cannot be seen by human eyes, infrared radiation can be felt as heat. NNSA uses it to learn more about nanoscience. It even developed technology for using infrared light for zapping rocks that’s out of this world.
On the Army's 250th Birthday, we remember how its oversight of the Manhattan Project laid the foundation for the NNSA
The achievement significantly enhances radiological security and underscores NNSA's commitment to keeping America safe from radiological terrorism.
Cobalt Magnet 25 brought together more than 3,000 local, state, provincial, and federal participants in Michigan to assess response capabilities to a notional nuclear power plant accident scenario.
An overview of the newest developments in nanotechnology at NNSA and across the nuclear security enterprise.
NNSA has released its 2024 Year in Review.
In honor of the 123rd “Nobel Prize Day,” we’re highlighting some of the many notable laureates who worked on the Manhattan Project.
A successful multi-site collaboration led by NNSA's Environment, Safety, and Health will help streamline urgent national security missions.
