Review:
The Los Alamos National Laboratory was established in 1943 with the express aim of producing an atomic bomb to end World War II.
After that aim was realized in 1945, the LANL turned its attention to the pursuit of other sciences and today the facility is at the forefront of scientific research.
Although matters of national security are still a priority, the Los Alamos National Laboratory is multi-disciplinary and covers medical science, space technology, and several other fields that will improve the future lives of everyone on our planet.
For security reasons the facility is not open to the public but you can tour the interactive Bradbury Science Museum in downtown Los Alamo to learn all about the laboratory and its top-secret projects.
