Sniffing Danger: Sandia Tests Explosive Detection Portal At Airport
DOE/Sandia National LaboratoriesPeer-Reviewed Publication
Some airline passengers visiting the main security
checkpoint at the Albuquerque International Airport
this week are being asked to try out tomorrow's
technology for combating terrorism - an "explosives
-detection portal" under development at Sandia

Sandia Patents Extreme Ultraviolet Source
DOE/Sandia National LaboratoriesPeer-Reviewed Publication
The realization that atomic gas clusters could serve as part
of a sort of ³light bulb² that emits extreme ultraviolet
(EUV) light when laser-heated has inspired a recently
patented invention at Sandia National Laboratories. This
light source enables research development of EUV lithography
to pattern faster, more memory-dense microchips.
