Evaluating nuclear weapons: Sandia Labs taking a modern approach

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

Sandia National Laboratories is transforming how it assesses nuclear weapons in a stockpile made up of weapons at different stages in their lifecycles -- some systems that have existed for decades alongside those that have undergone life extension programs.

Super plants need super ROOTS

Sandia uses confined nanoparticles to improve hydrogen storage materials performance

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Sometimes, you have to go small to win big. That is the approach a multilab, interdisciplinary team took in using nanoparticles and a novel nanoconfinement system to develop a method to change hydrogen storage properties.

Science versus the 'Horatio Alger myth'

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

In a new study published today in the journal PLOS ONE, Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists have taken a condensed matter physics concept usually applied to the way substances such as ice freeze, called 'frustration,' and applied it to a simple social network model of frustrated components. They show that inequality of wealth can emerge spontaneously and more equality can be gained by pure initiative.

Sandia using kinetics, not temperature, to make ceramic coatings

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

Sandia National Laboratories is working on a way to lay down ceramic coatings kinetically and at room temperatures. Coating at room temperature makes microelectronics design and fabrication more flexible and could someday lead to better, less expensive microelectronics components that underpin modern technology.

Origin of spooky meteor noises reappraised by Sandia researchers

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Sound travels more slowly than light. Then why does the sound of a meteor entering Earth's atmosphere appear simultaneously, or even prior, to the sight of the meteor itself? Sandia scientists believe they have the answer.

Energy work brings Sandia Labs two national technology transfer awards

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Business Announcement

A heat exchanger that makes power generation more efficient and a microgrid for the New Jersey Transit Corp. brought Sandia Labs national technology transfer awards.

Research at Sandia looking at how brittle materials fail

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

Sandia National Laboratories' Brittle Materials Assurance Prediction Program is working to understand how brittle materials inside devices behave and fail.

Los Alamos research on cancer's origins key part of huge grant

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Grant and Award Announcement

Los Alamos National Laboratory researcher Ludmil Alexandrov has been announced as a member of one of the first four global research teams funded under Cancer Research UK's 'Grand Challenge,' which seeks to revolutionize the understanding of cancer and its prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
