Advancing nuclear security education
Sandia and the University of New Mexico are teaming up to create a new approach to teaching nuclear security. Their goal: create a one-of-a-kind, graduate-level program that focuses on technical skills in education, research and professional development.
Road construction finishes early
Construction of the road project on Kirtland Air Force Base, west of the Eubank gate entrance, began Oct. 1, 2019, and was expected to take 12 months. But thanks to reduced traffic due to the pandemic, the project was finished two months early and under budget.
Building Sandia: Home of the MESA Complex
Part three in the Building Sandia architecture series explores the Microsystems and Engineering Sciences Applications Complex, or MESA, which is set apart aesthetically and functionally from other buildings and sites at the Labs.
Radiation-detecting plastic gets ingredient to stay in the clear
Sandia researchers have identified a straightforward change to the formula for radiation-detecting plastic. The change prevents “fogging,” which reduces the lifetime of the plastics used to detect nuclear material transiting through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s radiation detectors.
Eubank gate construction ahead of schedule
Crews working on the Eubank gate project have been taking advantage of light traffic to expedite the construction schedule.
Stimulating marketplace recovery
Sandia has announced a new, fast-track licensing program to rapidly deploy technology to a marketplace reeling from the effects of COVID-19. The move is designed to support businesses facing widespread, often technical challenges resulting from the pandemic.
Heroes waiting to be discovered
Since the beginnings of Sandia National Laboratories, Sandians have made the unthinkable not only thinkable, but also plannable and doable. Over time, we’ve tempered ourselves, studying and devising an assortment of ways to deter, defend against and blunt all manner of threats.
Can the U.S. make bioweapons obsolete?
Sandia has partnered with the Council on Strategic Risks to plan a series of workshops designed to bring together government, national laboratories, academia, industry, policy and entrepreneur communities to address the challenges of mitigating and eliminating the risks of bioweapons.
