Mining batteries, in a microwave
Old lithium battery cathodes get a chance at another life with a new microwave-based process that could turn spent batteries into a new domestic source of critical materials.
Combining 76 years of innovation
Edward Cole and Charles Hanley have been named fellows by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
Engineers borrow lessons from past to anticipate future
A panel of engineers discussed their careers and the future of engineering at Sandia during Engineers Week. Vela sketchbooks were on display outside the event.
Sketchbooks offer view into Sandia’s early engineering days
Tucked inside Sandia’s National Security Technology Gallery, hand-drawn sketches, or engineering design packages, offer a look at some of Sandia’s earliest engineering work.
Sandia celebrates those who are transforming the future
In honor of National Engineers Week, hosted by the National Society of Professional Engineers from Feb. 23-28, Lab News selected a few photos of engineering happening around the Labs.
NNSA, Sandia, KCNSC cut ribbon on CAMINO
Sandia and NNSA leaders celebrated the opening of the Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Innovation, a capability that enables rapid prototyping and shortens development life cycles.
NASA’s VIPER mission gets vital help from Sandia
The Labs’ one-of-a-kind Superfuge lends its might to test items at forces up to 300 times Earth’s gravity.
Brain-inspired computers are shockingly good at math
New research shows the potential for energy-efficient supercomputing.
It is rocket science: New heat shields, faster
Engineers combine computer modeling, laboratory experiments and flight testing to better understand how heat shields behave under extreme temperatures and pressures, and to predict their performance much faster than before.
