Using Research for Regulatory Development: Direct Potable Reuse in CaliforniaIn several places throughout the world, water scarcity is driving communities to pursue new water resources such as the potable reuse of wastewater. The State of California has long been a leader in the field of indirect potable reuse, where purified effluents are routed through environmental buffers (e.g., aquifers or ...

What Physicists DoSpeaker: Tomi Akindele, Lawrence Livermore National Lab
Nuclear fusion powers the stars, and the goal of the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is to bring this game-changing energy source to Earth in a controlled laboratory setting. After many decades of research by a cast of thousands, for the first time ever, a laser-driven ...
