Detecting battery failures quicker
Batteries in electric vehicles can fail quickly, sometimes catching fire without much warning. A Sandia team is working to detect failures early and give drivers more warning time.
Smart Labs completes successful pilot
The program aims to make the laboratories safer, more energy efficient and ultimately better equipped to support our scientists and our mission.
The big drop
A Sandia team drops 3D-printed torpedo anchor prototypes from up to 30 feet in the air to determine an optimal anchor design for offshore use.
Sandia tests heat shields for space
In support of two NASA missions, Sandia’s solar tower harnessed the power of the sun to expose aerospace materials to intense heat, replicating the harsh conditions of faster-than-sound flight and atmospheric reentry.
DOE awards funding to two early career scientists at Sandia
Sandia scientists Mitchell Wood and Gianluca Geraci will each receive $2.75 million over five years to support their research.
Great Minds in STEM recognizes Sandia microgrid engineer
Rachid Darbali-Zamora has been honored for his technical achievements and desire to provide "solutions for the little guy."
Work toward a cleaner way to purify critical metals
Over the past three years, Sandia researchers have been pioneering an environmentally friendly alternative to separating rare-earth elements from watery mixtures.
Summer, sun and STEM
Sandia and Explora hosted a renewable energy summer camp, exploring the power of light, wind, waves and more.
Successful G3P3 particle receiver test a major step toward commercial scalability
Sandia scientists have successfully tested a new falling-particle receiver ahead of installation within the Generation 3 Particle Pilot Plant, which is currently under construction.
Teaming with possibilities
Jackie Chen, who joined Sandia in 1982, developed entirely new ways of 3D modeling that helped advance combustion science by leaps and bounds.
