Team Science for National Security

For more than 70 years, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has made seemingly impossible innovations a reality through the combination of preeminent science, technology and engineering. Our "team science" approach to problem solving brings together dynamic individuals from many different disciplines to work on big, galvanizing challenges.

While our enduring mission of enabling U.S. security and global stability and resilience largely focuses on nuclear deterrence, that work formed the foundation for myriad breakthroughs including fusion ignition, supercomputing-aided drug design and sophisticated climate modeling.

“At LLNL, we apply world-leading science and technology to address today’s most significant national security challenges, ranging from critical issues in nuclear deterrence to important questions in climate and energy security.”
– Kim Budil
DIRECTOR, LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY
