Cool Earth Solar and Sandia team up in first-ever public-private partnership on Open Campus

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Business Announcement

In a public-private partnership that takes full advantage of the Livermore Valley Open Campus for the first time, Sandia National Laboratories and Cool Earth Solar have signed an agreement that could make solar energy more affordable and accessible.

Computer modeling reveals how surprisingly potent hepatitis C drug works

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A study by researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory and a multinational team reveals how daclatasvir, a direct-acting antiviral agent in development for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV), targets one of its proteins and causes the fastest viral decline ever seen with anti-HCV drugs -- within 12 hours of treatment.

Study rebuts hypothesis that comet attacks ended 9,000-year-old Clovis culture

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Comet explosions and asteroid impacts could not have ended 9,000-year-old Clovis culture, study contends.

Sandia airborne pods seek to trace nuclear bomb's origins

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

If a nuclear device were to unexpectedly detonate anywhere on Earth, the ensuing effort to find out who made the weapon probably would be led by aircraft rapidly collecting airborne radioactive particles for analysis.

ChemCam follows the 'Yellowknife Road' to Martian wet area

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory and the French Space Agency have tracked a trail of minerals that point to the prior presence of water at the Curiosity rover site on Mars.

Engineering alternative fuel with cyanobacteria

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Sandia National Laboratories Truman Fellow Anne Ruffing has engineered two strains of cyanobacteria to produce free fatty acids, a precursor to liquid fuels, but she has also found that the process cuts the bacteria's production potential. Micro-algal fuels might be one way to reduce the nation's dependence on foreign energy. Such fuels would be renewable since they are powered by sunlight.

Sandia helps DOE bring large-scale solar systems to market

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Business Announcement

Sandia National Laboratories is advancing viable, low-carbon power through collaborating on five U.S. Regional Test Centers where industry can assess the performance, reliability and bankability of large-scale photovoltaic energy systems.

Detecting tunnels using seismic waves not as simple as it sounds

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A Sandia researcher is working to improve the detection of shallow tunnels with the goal of helping find them along the border and other areas where tunnels could pose a threat.

Researchers test novel power system for space travel

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A team of researchers, including engineers from Los Alamos National Laboratory, has demonstrated a new concept for a reliable nuclear reactor that could be used on space flights.
