Energy research is taking center stage at Los Alamos National Laboratory. During a recent panel discussion, Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, Undersecretary of Energy and National Nuclear Security Administration Administrator Jill Hruby and Charles Oppenheimer, the grandson of the Lab’s first director J. Robert Oppenheimer, visited the Lab and took part in a panel discussion. In this episode, we will listen to excerpts of that panel. Then, we will check in with the Lab’s new climate and clean energy coordinator, Matt Heavner, to hear about some of the ongoing energy work the Lab is doing, and to learn why a laboratory that is known more for weapons research will be pivotal in addressing climate issues. Lastly, we will check in with a team of researchers at the Lab to understand why an organism as small and simple as algae could hold the key to decarbonizing the aviation industry.
