Sandia magnetized fusion technique produces significant results

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Working with two magnetic fields and a laser, all at low points of their power outputs, Sandia's Z machine has released neutrons in an amount surprisingly close to 'break-even' fusion.

American-made wind turbine blades

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Business Announcement

Sandia National Laboratories is helping makers of wind turbine blades improve the labor productivity associated with blade fabrication and finishing. This improved productivity makes domestic blades more cost competitive with blades from countries that pay workers lower wages.

Carbon sequestration research continues at Sandia Labs under Energy Department funds

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

Sandia researchers are sharing a four-year, $12 million Department of Energy research contract on the long-term geologic sequestration of carbon. The contract from the department's Office of Science funds research by the Center for Frontiers of Subsurface Energy Security.

Collaboration drives achievement in protein structure research

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

When this week's print issue of the journal Science comes out, a collective cheer will go up from New Mexico, Montana and even the Netherlands, thanks to the type of collaborative effort that is more and more the norm in these connected times.

Breakthrough antibacterial approach could resolve serious skin infections

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

In several cases, scientists found an ionic liquid was more efficacious on a pathogenic biofilm than a standard bleach treatment and exhibited minimal cytotoxicity effects on human cell lines (unlike bleach). This has excellent prospects for aiding antibiotic delivery to the pathogen through biofilm disruption.

Scientists uncover combustion mechanism to better predict warming by wildfires

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists have uncovered key attributes of so-called 'brown carbon' from wildfires, airborne atmospheric particles that may have influenced current climate models that failed to take the material's warming effects into account. The work was described by a collaborative team of researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory, Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Montana in the journal Nature Geosciences this week.
