Item description from seller

28 cm, 95, [1] pages, plus covers. Wraps. Illustrations (some color). Figures. Some wear and soiling to covers. Mailing information on back cover. Los Alamos Science is a science journal distributed world-wide that presents the most exciting research at LANL. Articles are designed to communicate technical insights to a broad audience. Issues are published once or twice a year and often emphasize single themes. Recent themes include radiation and the human radiation experiments, the human genome, high-performance computing, and collaborations between Russian and American nuclear institutes. In this issue are articles on Laser Separation of Isotopes, Uranium Enrichment, Infrared Spectroscopy, Tunable Lasers, Multiple-Photon Excitation, and Bernd Matthias. The Laboratory was established in 1943 as site Y of the Manhattan Project for a single purpose: to design and build an atomic bomb. It took just 20 months. On July 16, 1945, the world's first atomic bomb was detonated 200 miles south of Los Alamos at Trinity Site on the Alamogordo bombing range. Under the scientific leadership of J. Robert Oppenheimer and the military direction of General Leslie R. Groves, scientists at the Laboratory had successfully weaponized the atom. President Harry S. Truman chose to employ atomic bombs in an effort to end WWII. A rich variety of research programs directly and indirectly support the Laboratory's basic mission: maintaining the safety, security, and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent without the need to return to underground testing. With a national security focus, the Laboratory also works on nuclear nonproliferation and border security, energy and infrastructure security, and countermeasures to nuclear and biological terrorist threats.
