Approximately 1/3 of the laboratory's technical staff is composed of physicists, 1/4 are engineers, and 1/6 are chemical and material specialists; the remaining staff work in Mathematics and Computational Science, Biology, Geosciences, and other disciplines. Professional scientists and students also travel to Los Alamos in the category of visitors, with the intention of participating in scientific projects. The various teams of the Laboratory collaborate with universities and industries in fundamental and applied research, in the sense of developing nuclear warheads and other weapons.
