Richard Claassen: Manhattan Project veteran, fundamental research champion
On May 31, 1957, Claassen proposed establishing a group focused on fundamental physical sciences research — the beginnings of the advanced science and technology division at Sandia today.
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.
Through the quantum looking glass
Sandia scientists partnered with a research group to design an ultrathin device that triggers one of quantum mechanics’ strangest and most useful phenomena.
Creating diamonds to shed light on the quantum world

Science at Sandia: Motivated by curiosity, vital to national security and well-being
A memo written by Richard Claassen 65 years ago changed the course of science and technology research at the Labs. These changes continue to impact research at Sandia daily.
Could quantum technology be New Mexico’s next economic boon?
The Quantum New Mexico Coalition aims to establish the state as a national hub and create quantum computing jobs locally.
Atomic-scale manufacturing might not just be for qubits anymore
A recent LDRD Grand Challenge project could transform electronics and solve energy challenges.
“I’m melting, melting” — coal waste diminished by harmless citric acid
A new method that extracts rare-earth metals from coal ash has many benefits. The metals are essential in production of computer chips, smart phones, fighter jets, submarines and other technology, and the process detoxifies the coal ash for reuse.
