Research at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, N.M., has shown it's possible to predict how well people will remember information by monitoring their brain activity while they study.

Magnetically imploded tubes, intended to help produce controlled nuclear fusion at scientific "break-even" energies or better within the next few years, have functioned successfully in preliminary tests.

US energy policy should simultaneously pursue security of its energy supply, economic stability and reduced environmental impacts, says a national poll of energy professionals jointly prepared by Sandia National Laboratories and OurEnergyPolicy.org.

Top graduate students pursuing careers in cybersecurity worked alongside Sandia and other prominent cybersecurity experts in a week-long summer institute sponsored by Sandia National Laboratories at the Livermore Valley Open Campus. Cyber Security Technology, Policy, Law, and Planning for an Uncertain Future, which followed last year's institute on energy technology and policy, focused on cyber law, policy, information sharing and other cyber-related issues. Three mentors led the students through a robust series of high-level talks, discussions and workshops from Aug. 5-10.
