Earth Day: Sunrise to Sunset
Today (April 22), join in a sunrise-to-sundown, coast-to-coast #EarthDay exploration of what U.S. Department of Energy national labs are doing to invest in our planet. There are virtual STEM activities for everyone, kindergarten-aged and up!
See how bioplastics work with Los Alamos National Laboratory's Taraka Dale, watch plasma demos, take virtual lab tours, build a solar oven, get a glimpse of the future of automated driving and much more.
Turbulent orb
Go with the flow! Spin our turbulent orb and watch mesmerizing swirls made from soap and water appear across its blue surface. These whorls demonstrate laminar flow and turbulent flow.
Smooth, orderly currents with parallel movements have laminar flow, while complex and disorderly currents have turbulent flow.
Flow is a factor that scientific modelers consider when investigating subjects like the atmosphere, ocean or aerodynamics.
Visit our museum to take a turn at the turbulent orb!
Coexisting with COVID-19
COVID called us to action: By early last summer, Los Alamos National Laboratory was hard at work on more than 40 projects targeted on mitigating and defeating #COVID19.
On Feb. 24, hear fascinating details in "Coexisting with COVID-19: Disease forecasting and science."

Happy holidays from the Bradbury Science Museum
To you out there from everyone in here (virtually)...happy holidays!
Happening at the Bradbury right now!
Earthquake off the Coast of Japan, March 11, 2011
The printout from our seismograph helicorder. Horizontal ticks are at 1 minute intervals, 15 minutes from one row vertically to the next.
Domino Chain Reactions!
Students have been asking to see our dominoes in slow motion. Here is the video!
The Gravity Well
Video of the Gravity Well in action. The balls exhibit behaviors analogous to tidal forces and gravitational assists.
Southfork Fire from Los Alamos
Southfork fire seen from Los Alamos. 15th Street at Canyon Road. 6/18/2010. It gives many locals the chills.
Agua Adventures, 6/1/10 at the BSM
June 1, the first of our Summer Adventures, was about water. We had a lot of fun, and so did a lot of our visitors.
Soma Cube Puzzle
The BSM Puzzle tables feature a version of Piet Hein's Soma Cube Puzzle. It is said there are 240 unique solutions to the cube and the cube is only one of many shapes to attempt.
