Sandia National Laboratories News
Doping MOFs Leads to Red, Blue Emission
LIVERMORE, Calif., July 6, 2012 — A new technique that employs a nanoporous material to efficiently identify neutrons could provide a more effective and less costly way to detect radiation in cargo and baggage for homeland security inspection.
Indium Upped in Nanowire Solar Cell
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., June 18, 2012 — Growing an indium mixture on a clump of nanowires rather than on a flat surface boosts the percentage of the energy-absorbing material, potentially broadening the solar spectrum that photovoltaic systems can collect.
Laser-Guided Bullet Hits Target a Mile Away
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M, Jan. 31, 2012 — A new dart-like, self-guided bullet that can hit laser-designated targets more than a mile away could help war fighters.
Diode Lasers Produce High-Quality White Light
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Oct. 26, 2011 — While LED lighting is widely accepted as the more efficient alternative to the century-old tungsten incandescent bulb, it may soon be dethroned by the diode laser. Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Sandia National Laboratories...
New Superresolution Technique Reveals Cell Secrets
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., May 18, 2011 — A new superresolution microscopy technique is answering longheld questions about how and why a cell’s defenses fail against some invaders, such as plague, while successfully fending off others, such as E. coli. The approach is revealing...
VCSEL-driven Atomic Clock Available to Consumers
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., May 4, 2011 — A matchbook-size atomic clock 100 times smaller than its commercial predecessors has been created by a team of researchers at Symmetricom Inc., Draper Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories. The portable chip scale atomic clock (CSAC) —...
GreenGov Presidential Award
Dec 1, 2010 — In Washington, the National Nuclear Security Administration announced that a photovoltaic vehicle created by Sandia National Laboratories of Albuquerque, N.M., has received a 2010 GreenGov Presidential Award. The awards are given to honor...
Sandia Awarded $2.6M in DoE Grants
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Nov. 9, 2010 — Sandia National Laboratories announced that four of its researchers have received three-year grants totaling $2.6 million from the Department of Energy’s Office of Science to pursue computational research proposals that would help to create an...
1st Successful Ignition Experiment at NIF
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25, 2010 — The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) announced that the National Ignition Facility (NIF) recently completed its first integrated ignition experiment. In the test, the 192-beam laser...
LEDs: Not So Green After All?
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Sept. 7, 2010 — Solid-state lighting pioneers long have held that replacing the inefficient Edison light bulb with more efficient solid-state LEDs would lower electrical usage worldwide, not only decreasing the need for new power plants but even permitting some to...
THz Photonic Integrated Circuit Formed
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., June 30, 2010 — By integrating a terahertz quantum-cascade laser and diode mixer into a monolithic solid-state transceiver, researchers at Sandia National Laboratories successfully formed a terahertz (THz) photonic integrated circuit that can provide improved...
MEMS Chess Set, Barbershop Prevail
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., June 15, 2010 — The world’s smallest chess board — about the diameter of four human hairs — and a pea-sized microbarbershop were winners in this year’s design contest for, respectively, novel and educational microelectromechanical systems...
Sandia Lab Names New Director
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., May 20, 2010 — The Sandia Corp. board of directors announced the appointment of Paul J. Hommert as its president and as director of Sandia National Laboratories, effective July 9, 2010. Currently the executive vice president and deputy laboratories director...
NIF Achieves Historic Laser Shot
LIVERMORE, Calif., Feb. 1, 2010 – Scientists at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have delivered a historic level of laser energy – more than 1 megajoule – to a t...
Glitter-sized Solar Cells
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Dec. 24, 2009 – Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories developed tiny glitter-sized photovoltaic cells that could revolutionize the way solar energy is collected and used. The solar particles, fabricated of crystalline silicon, hold the potential for a variety...
Solar dishes popping up in US deserts
Nov 1, 2009 — Next-generation solar dishes called SunCatchers are popping up like desert cactus flowers, with a light and structurally efficient design that can be manufactured on an automotive-type assembly line. The concentrating solar power systems by Stirling...
Sandia Appoints New VP
Jul 10, 2009 — Carolyne Hart has been selected as vice president of weapons engineering and product realization, Sandia National Laboratories Director Tom Hunter announced Thursday. Hart has been a member of Sandia's Defense Systems and Assessments Program...
'Nano-Camo' Clothing Coming
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., April 7, 2009 — Just as certain fish species blend with their environment by changing color, researchers have theorized that they could cause synthetic materials to change color by manipulating motor proteins through the use of nanoscopic, light-emitting dots of...
New LED Drops the 'Droop'
TROY, N.Y., Jan. 15, 2009 – Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have developed and demonstrated a new type of LED with significantly improved lighting performance and energy efficiency. The new polarization-matched LED, developed in collaboration with Samsung...
MEMS Muscle Awarded
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., June 10, 2008 -- A mechanical micromuscle with nanoscopic movements and a microcreep-and-stress tester, both designed by students, were the big winners in Sandia National Laboratories’ fourth annual University Alliance Design Competition for microelectromechanical...
