    Leveraging our research for the nation's benefit

    Our Science Programs provide a focal point for basic and applied R&D programs in energy and also encompass medical, biotech, high-energy physics, and advanced computing projects.

    In today’s dynamic national security and technical environment, our science programs and strategic partnerships and collaborations allow the Laboratory to cost-effectively leverage our research to accomplish programmatic goals.

    Our science programs help Los Alamos attract, retain, and develop an inventive and innovative workforce. Partnering with academic institutions, industry, and other laboratories, we leverage our science and technology for the nation’s benefit.
