We're celebrating 75 years of American innovation at our #NationalLabs with 75 breakthroughs! Every M/W/F we'll highlight one of their discoveries that's having a global impact. 🌎
SUPERCOMPUTERS: #NationalLabs operate some of the world's top high-performance computers. These ultra-fast systems are changing how scientists study weather forecasting, human health, the climate, renewable energy, the universe — even our nuclear deterrent. #75Breakthroughs
THE INTERNET:
Scientists at the #NationalLabs, searching for a way to share particle physics information, were the first to install a web server in North America, kick-starting the development of the worldwide web as we know it. #75Breakthroughs
DNA DECODED:
In 1990, the #NationalLabs joined with @NIH and other laboratories to launch the Human Genome Project, an international collaboration to identify and map all of the genes of the human genome. #75Breakthroughs
