Demystifying inclement weather notifications
Learn about the types of messages that Sandians may receive as wintry weather hits.
“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.
Sandia creates global archive of historical renewable energy documents
The archive, which includes nearly sixty years of concentrating solar power research, is now easily and publicly accessible, a game-changer for solar researchers and engineers.
Mimicking mother nature: New membrane to make fresh water
Sandia scientists and their collaborators design an electrodialysis membrane inspired by a protein in algae that may be more effective than reverse osmosis.
Sandia helps set up future of ocean research with hydrogen fuel cells
Inspired by scientist Lennie Klebanoff’s research, students at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at U.C. San Diego urged their college to commit to a zero-emissions fleet of research vessels.
