19-Oct-2001 Mars within Los Alamos' neutron spectrometer's reach DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory Peer-Reviewed Publication A neutron spectrometer designed and built at the Los Alamos National Laboratory is closing in on Mars aboard NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey. A similar Los Alamos instrument aboard NASA's Lunar Prospector provided compelling evidence for water-ice at the moon's poles.
19-Oct-2001 Laboratory receives seven Green Zia awards for environmental excellence DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory Grant and Award Announcement Seven organizations and projects at the Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory received Green Zia awards from the New Mexico Green Zia Environmental Excellence Program for their efforts in pollution prevention.
4-Oct-2001 Scientists make key finding underlying genetic stability DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory Peer-Reviewed Publication Biologists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory have discovered new insights into how two common proteins found in mannalian cells can cause chromosomes to fuse together–-mutations that can destroy cells or give rise to cancer.

4-Oct-2001 Sandia’s soil and groundwater chemical ‘sniffer’ may help protect the nation’s water supply DOE/Sandia National Laboratories Peer-Reviewed Publication A real-time gas- and water-quality monitoring system that consists of a miniature sensor array packaged in a weatherproof housing developed by the Department of Energy’s Sandia National Laboratories may become one tool in the effort to protect the nation’s water supply.
4-Oct-2001 Sandia develops program to assess water infrastructure vulnerabilities DOE/Sandia National Laboratories Peer-Reviewed Publication andia National Laboratories researcher Jeffrey Danneels has some answers about how water distribution systems in this country can remain secure.
4-Oct-2001 Sandia-developed removable adhesive bonds and detaches with temperature changes -- New approach to epoxy adhesive relies on reversible chemistry DOE/Sandia National Laboratories Peer-Reviewed Publication A Sandia National Laboratories research team has develope d a removable epoxy adhesive that makes bonding and detaching parts a matter of temperature change.
10-Sep-2001 Nanotemplates for nanostructures DOE/Sandia National Laboratories Coffee beans spilled upon a table form no pattern—they're a mess—their distribution dictated by the laws of chance. The same was generally believed true of atoms deposited upon a substrate. The first vision of a peaceable kingdom in which deposited atoms form orderly, controllable 2-D nanopatterns has been observed by researchers at the Sandia National Laboratories.
