What happens inside an object during an explosion event? At Los Alamos National Laboratory, scientists use dynamic imaging to find out. By harnessing powerful accelerators and high-energy X-rays, researchers capture rapid, high-resolution image sequences that reveal how materials behave under extreme conditions. Techniques like proton radiography allow scientists to see deep inside experiments as they unfold in fractions of a second. The data collected plays a vital role in ensuring the reliability, safety and security of the U.S. nuclear stockpile, combining experimental insight with world-class simulation and modeling.
