Scientists chip away at a metallic mystery, one atom at a time
It’s no secret that radiation weakens metal. Sandia researchers are uncovering how.
Reinventing offshore wind turbines
Engineers at Sandia imagine a smaller, less expensive floating turbine and develop modeling software to set their idea in motion.
We’ve got the power
A successful test on the Sandia-Kirtland Air Force Base electrical grid demonstrates the benefits of a new power-generating system.
Leading from the front
Sandia New Mexico and California use enough electricity annually to power 40,000 houses for a year. An energy management team at the Labs introduces site sustainability initiatives that decrease electricity consumption.
Propelling wind energy innovation
A novel technology at Sandia, called Twistact, eliminates reliance on rare-earth magnets for large-scale wind turbines.
The right trousers
Researchers at Sandia explore whether exoskeleton systems can help protect workers from musculoskeletal injuries resulting from ergonomic issues, chronic overuse and more.
Exploring explosives for expanding geothermal energy
Sandia researchers test explosives and propellants to create geothermal power sites.
Build-a-satellite program could fast track national security space missions
Valhalla, a modeling framework developed at Sandia, uses high-performance computing to design satellites, saving researchers months of creating preliminary designs.
Secretary of energy visits the Labs
In her visit to Sandia last week, Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm received an overview of a wide range of mission-related work at the Labs.
Computer scientist draws on engineering background
Karla Morris advises staff members interested in a job change to “invest in yourself by carving out time to learn something new that will create new opportunities” at the Labs.
