Cold War Warriors: Sandia's decades in nuclear weapons

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Reports and Proceedings

Sandia National Laboratories has produced a video about the people behind Sandia's decades of above-ground and underground nuclear weapons testing.

Sandia Labs tapped again to lead national solar evaluation centers

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Business Announcement

Sandia National Laboratories won a three-year renewal of a Department of Energy contract to manage the US Regional Test Centers (RTCs), a network of five sites across the country where industry can assess the performance, reliability and economic viability of solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies.

Marine Corps teams with Sandia on microgrids and renewable energy planning

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Business Announcement

The US Marine Corps are the first boots on the ground in a crisis. On the front lines, they must be able to power up securely without plugging into utilities. They require nothing less than completely reliable and cost-effective energy independence.

Numerical simulations shed new light on early universe

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Innovative multidisciplinary research in nuclear and particle physics and cosmology has led to the development of a new, more accurate computer code to study the early universe. The code simulates conditions during the first few minutes of cosmological evolution to model the role of neutrinos, nuclei and other particles in shaping the early universe.

Holistic data analysis and modeling poised to transform protein X-ray crystallography

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new 3-D modeling and data-extraction technique is about to transform the field of X-ray crystallography, with potential benefits for both the pharmaceutical industry and structural biology. A paper this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences describes the improved blending of experimentation and computer modeling, extracting valuable information from diffuse, previously discarded data.

City resilience: Sandia analyzes effects of rising sea levels in Norfolk

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Business Announcement

Sandia National Laboratories created an Urban Resilience Analysis Process to help cities become more resilient. The process is a holistic framework that includes Sandia's critical infrastructure modeling and simulation tools, risk consequence assessment and systems analysis expertise to show cities the most effective investments they can make to become more resilient.

Smaller. Cheaper. Better.

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A Sandia-led team has developed a way to make a magnetic material that could lead to lighter and smaller, cheaper and better-performing high-frequency transformers, needed for more flexible energy storage systems and widespread adoption of renewable energy.
