In an experiment using the Titan laser at the Lab's Jupiter Laser Facility, LLNL researchers and collaborators achieved the first measurements of thermal conductivity of warm dense aluminum — a prototype material commonly used in model development — by heating a dual - layer target of gold and aluminum with laser - generated protons.

The high electrical conductivities of ∼ 1500 to 1800 siemens per centimeter after iodine doping and the chiral helicity of these films may be exploited in electromagnetic and optical applications. (science.sciencemag.org)
Today is the 261st anniversary of the birth of Luigi Galvani, an Italian anatomist known for his discovery of electrical conductivity in animals. (sciencemag.org)
