Nanoparticles unlock the future of superalloy metals

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

As part of Sandia's nanoscale research, a group of experts specializing in inorganic synthesis and characterization, modeling and radiation science have designed a radical system of experiments to study the science of creating metal and alloy nanoparticles.

Extreme environment biology research may help solve lignocellulosic ethanol puzzle

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Beneath a sulfurous cauldron in European seas lies a class of microorganisms known as extremophiles. These organisms and their associated enzymes could somehow unlock the key to a new transportation economy based on a renewable biofuel, lignocellulosic ethanol. That's the concept behind a research program at Sandia National Laboratories.

Rapid-fire pulse brings Sandia Z method closer to goal of high-yield fusion reactor

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

An electrical circuit that should carry enough power to produce the long-sought goal of controlled high-yield nuclear fusion and, equally important, do it every 10 seconds, has undergone extensive preliminary experiments and computer simulations at Sandia National Laboratories' Z machine facility.

Sandia researchers take new approach to studying how cells respond to pathogens

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A Sandia research team is taking a new approach to studying how immune cells respond to pathogens in the first few minutes and hours of exposure. Their method looks at cells one at a time as they start trying to fight the invading pathogens.
