Sandia scientists provide technical assistance to American-Made Solar Prize finalist
Rocking Solar has developed a tracker for solar panels that weigh less, costs less and is lower risk than trackers widely used today. Sandia assisted the company by discussing improvements and considerations for the design.
Sandia creates global archive of historical renewable energy documents
The archive, which includes nearly sixty years of concentrating solar power research, is now easily and publicly accessible, a game-changer for solar researchers and engineers.
Look who’s turning 25
The Z Pulsed Power Facility, or Z machine, celebrates a history of power and innovation at Sandia.
Sandia-developed solar cell technology reaches space on board small satellite
mPower Technology’s DragonSCALES was initially developed at the Labs to reduce the cost of creating solar technology and increase its efficiencies. Future projects may take the technology as far as the moon.
Demonstration of high-speed alloy creation might revolutionize hydrogen’s future
A group of Sandians and international collaborators use computational models to predict the phenomena that occurs when hydrogen interacts with metals.
Sandia uncovers hidden factors that affect solar farms during severe weather
Researchers use machine learning to determine the age of a solar farm and the amount of cloud cover, both factors that affect farm performance in severe weather.
Women @ Energy features engineer Laura Price
The DOE STEM Rising website recognized Laura, an engineer at Sandia, for her work in nuclear fuel cycle technologies.
Better batteries for grid-scale energy storage
Researchers Leo Small, Erik Spoerke and Martha Gross developed sodium batteries that can operate at lower temperatures, at a lower cost, more safely and for longer than standard lead-acid or lithium ion batteries.
