Laboratory for Laser Energetics

The first major addition to LLE in more than two decades includes clean room facilities to advance next-generation laser science and technologies.

University of Rochester faculty regularly earn accolades for their contributions to research, scholarship, education, and community engagement.

This is the first time since 2009 that three University faculty members have been elected in one year.

The funding enables LLE’s national security efforts in inertial confinement fusion, high-energy-density physics research, and laser technology development.

Rochester researchers have discovered a new class of plasma oscillations, paving the way for improved particle accelerators and commercial fusion energy.

Techniques developed with the Laboratory for Laser Energetics’ OMEGA laser system hold promise for sparking fusion at larger scales.

The Air Force Office of Scientific Research, World Gastroenterology Organization, and National Academies of Practice are honoring Rochester faculty.

Using mechanical rather than statistical analysis, an international team of scientists offers a new framework for understanding the climate system.

Rochester scientists have developed deep-learning models that can sift through the massive amounts of data generated by X-ray diffraction techniques.

The new cooperative agreement between NNSA and the University builds on the laboratory’s significant scientific productivity and contributions to national security efforts.
