Los Alamos National Laboratory
1943
The Department of Energy nuclear-weapons laboratory in New Mexico, birthplace of the atomic bomb (Manhattan Project, 1943). A recurring node in this network: home to Oppenheimer and Teller, directed by Donald Kerr (1979-85), overseen by Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, near Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch, and the seed of the Santa Fe Institute. The physical heart of America's weapons-physics establishment.
