Recently, @Livermore_Lab was honored to welcome @ScienceUnderSec. During the visit, he explored how LLNL’s researchers and state-of-the-art facilities advance national security and scientific discovery.
Advancing the Genesis Mission starts with making powerful tools more accessible.
@ENERGY has released "Genesis Agent Skills," the first building block of the Mission's shared research infrastructure, helping researchers use SI coding tools.
