The Black Hole of Los Alamos: A Surplus Store Where Nuclear Research History Was for Sale

Black Hole of Los Alamos Seller of surplus nuclear research materials

The Black Hole of Los Alamos was a surplus store in New Mexico that sold decommissioned equipment from the Los Alamos National Laboratories. From 1950s oscilloscopes to liquid nitrogen dewars and even A-bomb detonator cables, the shop offered a unique glimpse into nuclear research history, with nearly everything on the shelves available for purchase. The business has since closed, but its legacy as a museum-like emporium of atomic-age artifacts endures.
