Study asks: Can cellphone signals help land a plane?
Experimental navigation technology, developed in partnership between Sandia and Ohio State, could keep an airplane on course when GPS is unreliable.
Work toward a cleaner way to purify critical metals
Over the past three years, Sandia researchers have been pioneering an environmentally friendly alternative to separating rare-earth elements from watery mixtures.
Swifter simulations for modern science. All of it
A universal accelerator finds faster answers to complex problems, propelling scientists closer to insights about the effects of drugs on cells or the potential of rocket engines to send humankind to Mars and beyond.
Lighting the way for quantum innovation
A collaboration between Sandia and Arizona State University combines integrated photonics and light-wave frequency for novel quantum information processing.
Arctic fiber: Using fiber optics to study seafloor permafrost
Scientists are combining sound, light and temperature measurements to map miles of Arctic seafloor.
Researchers develop tantalizing method to study cyberdeterrence
Sandia developers build a multiplayer online war game to learn how people’s decisions during threatening situations can impact national security.
Labs researchers capture six R&D 100 Awards
Honorees include a seizure-predicting device, software that optimizes network microgrids, tech that streamlines additive manufacturing and others.
Testing new technology and research on orbit
Labs researchers and engineers are creating a process that uses the International Space Station as a proving ground to rapidly test and mature technology in space.
Detecting threats beyond the limits of human, sensor sight
A team of computer scientists has developed a software system that can find and track moving objects as small as a pixel. The technology can be used to analyze video and images from satellites, drones and far-range security cameras.
Remembering Al Narath
Albert Narath, a chemist and head of Sandia from 1989 to 1995, died May 2, leaving a legacy of commitment to research at the Labs.
