Seashell-inspired Sandia shield protects materials in hostile environments

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

An ecological protective coating, stronger yet less expensive than potentially dangerous beryllium shielding, is baked of alternating layers of sugar and silica at Sandia National Laboratories. The simple result, which mimics the structure of a seagull, should lower costs for pulsed power machines and space satellites.

Cycloalkanes a strong candidate for reducing aviation emissions

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories have released data that could play an important role in the future development of cleaner and more sustainable aviation fuel. The team explored the physical properties of cycloalkanes, which, when used in jet fuel may reduce condensation trail formation and soot emissions as compared to current fuels.
