ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Not everyone can play music. You need timing and rhythm, an ear for pitch and notes and an ability to interpret sheet music and symbols. You need physical coordination to apply those talents plus control of lungs, lips, arms and fingers to match the mechanics of a musical instrument. And you need strength and stamina to sustain the sounds you create...more
Sandia National Laboratories' research and collaborations will be highlighted in 26 presentations and two posters at the upcoming SPIE Photonics West 2013 Conference. The presentations include seven invited papers showcasing Sandia's microsystems research, five of which involve collaborations with MIT, the University of Konstanz, the University of New Mexico, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Virginia and Yale University. Visit our booth, number 201, to learn more about Sandia’s Microsystems Program.
Sandia developed tiny glitter-sized photovoltaic (PV) cells that could revolutionize solar energy collection. The crystalline silicon micro-PV cells will be cheaper and have greater efficiencies than current PV collectors. Micro-PV cells require relatively little material to form well-controlled, highly efficient devices. Cell fabrication uses common microelectronic and micro-electromechanical systems techniques. They are 10 times thinner than conventional cells, yet perform at about the same efficiency.
