Batteries in electric vehicles can fail quickly, sometimes catching fire without much warning. Sandia National Laboratories is working to detect these failures early and provide sufficient warning time to vehicle occupants.
Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories and Ohio State University are taking experimental navigation technology to the skies, pioneering a backup system to keep an airplane on course when it cannot rely on global positioning system satellites.
For decades, Sandia National Laboratories鈥 National Solar Thermal Test Facility has 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 to ensure the materials鈥 ability to protect the rest of the vehicle. The most recent of these tests is in support of two exciting NASA missions.
Rachid Darbali-Zamora an electrical engineer specializing in microgrids with renewable energy resources at Sandia National Laboratories has been honored with a Luminary Award by Great Minds in STEM.
鈥淭hey say water is life, and that couldn鈥檛 be truer,鈥 said Anne Francis, who has spent her life on the Navajo Nation, watching how water sustains the land, the crops and the herds of cattle on her family ranch. But life on the Navajo Nation is hard. The vast landscape is dotted with old-fashioned windmills, and many places are untouched by modern conveniences like electricity.
In a machine learning paper recently published in the journal npj Computational Materials, a team of researchers from Sandia National Laboratories and Brown University have introduced a universal way to accelerate virtually any kind of simulation.
Rare-earth elements are everywhere in modern life, found in everything from the smart device you鈥檙e reading this on to the LED lightbulbs overhead and neodymium magnets in electric vehicles and wind turbines.
Sandia National Laboratories and Arizona State University, two research powerhouses, are collaborating to push the boundaries of quantum technology and transform large-scale optical systems into compact integrated microsystems.
The Sandia Science and Technology Park is being credited with playing a critical role in New Mexico鈥檚 economy over the last 25 years, creating high-paying jobs and bringing state-of-the-art technologies to the marketplace.
Sandia National Laboratories scientist Dan Thrasher is working with Japanese tech company Nichia Corporation to build the world鈥檚 most accurate compact atomic clock.
For the first time, researchers from Sandia National Laboratories have used silicon photonic microchip components to perform a quantum sensing technique called atom interferometry, an ultra-precise way of measuring acceleration. It is the latest milestone toward developing a kind of quantum compass for navigation when GPS signals are unavailable.
Sandia National Laboratories Senior Scientist Stan Atcitty has been honored with the A.P. Seethapathy Rural Electrification Excellence Award by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers for his leadership and innovation in the rural electrification of U.S. tribal nations.
Testing weapons and components in a lab-controlled environment has always been at the center of Sandia National Laboratories鈥 mission. A newly developed method is getting better results, with fewer tests, in less time.
Sandia National Laboratories' Future of Research for Climate, Earth and Energy Intern Institute provides undergraduate and graduate students with real-world experience in conducting research on topics in earth sciences, climate change, decarbonization and infrastructure modernization.
Advanced manufacturing speeding up development of custom electronic connectors for weapons systems.
The Department of Energy has once again awarded Sandia National Laboratories for its work helping small businesses. One of those businesses, owned by a disabled veteran, was also awarded for its extraordinary work.
Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories are working to make large back-up batteries for homes or neighborhoods less expensive, hold more energy and be less prone to bursting into flame. One way to tackle all three challenges is by changing up the battery chemistry with the addition of sulfur, according to Sandia battery expert Melissa Meyerson.
In a whirling geopolitical landscape of new nuclear weapons, hypersonic weapons, drones and satellites, the U.S. is hustling to test new kinds of radars aimed at detecting evolving threats. Many of these tests take place in a simulated research environment created at Sandia National Laboratories.
Sandia National Laboratories and the Kansas City National Security Campus completed a crucial weapons component development milestone, prior to full rate production.
