This 2018 progress report contains a list of Los Alamos National Laboratory's top innovations of the time, including: Inventing - Los Alamos National Laboratory has been inventing for the past 75 years to accomplish the difficult, the unexpected and at times, what seems impossible. The Feynman Center is rethinking roadmaps for patent and software strategies to enable Los Alamos to achieve greater impact of its innovations; Innovating - The US technology advantage in national security is dependent on continual innovation. Los Alamos’ immense contributions in leading edge science and technology research and development are directed into solving complex and forthcoming national security challenges. Check out the Technology Snapshot platform at https://techsnapshot.lanl.gov to explore Los Alamos’s technologies ready to be developed into disruptive applications; Disrupting - Known well for developing the first nuclear weapon, big and small science at Los Alamos is behind many other disruptive innovations. This year we are highlighting Los Alamos’s leadership in small modular nuclear reactor design and development, work on international nuclear safeguards electronics instrumentation, and first demonstrated deployment of non-destructive testing to measure corrosion in nuclear material storage containers; Partnering - Los Alamos science has assisted partners big and small with their toughest challenges, this year Los Alamos scientists assisted two New Mexico farm owners—Tim Seaman with Manzanar Los Silvestres apple orchard in Abiquiu and Christopher Bassett of Freshies of New Mexico in El Guique — protect their crops from frost.
