One joint project currently taking place at the New Mexico Consortium titled Microimaging/Modeling of Retinal Responses Measured with Laser Magnetometer is funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering. This project is a collaboration between LANL Staff Scientist and NMC Affiliate Igor Savukov, NMC Research Scientist John George, LANL Staff Scientist and NMC

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and the New Mexico Consortium are concerned with archiving scholarly work done over the internet. In the past, research communication was a paper-based endeavor and over time scholars have transitioned to using web-based methods for communicating and sharing their work. Increasingly, scholars across disciplines and throughout the research

The New Mexico Consortium takes great pleasure in announcing that the STEVE/Aurorasaurus research team is being awarded NASA GSFC’s 2018 Robert H. Goddard Group Honor Award for Exceptional Achievement in Science. The STEVE/Aurorasaurus team, led by Liz MacDonald, a space scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, studies the northern lights or

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and the New Mexico Consortium (NMC) have created the largest simulation of an entire gene of DNA. This simulation required modeling one billion atoms and will help scientists better understand and develop cures for cancer and other diseases. Karissa Sanbonmatsu, a LANL researcher and NMC affiliate, states “It
