Research




The Combustion Research Facility (CRF) is an Office of Science collaborative research facility for broad-based research in energy science and technology. Using the facility's unique laser diagnostic capabilities, staff researchers and visiting investigators explore fundamental chemical reactivity and dynamics problems, as well as conduct applied studies that support industry's needs in areas such as engines and materials processing.


The CRF is part of a larger division at Sandia National Laboratories called the Combustion and Physical Sciences Center. In addition to the CRF's combustion-related research, Center staff members also conduct research on broader energy and homeland security issues, including hydrogen energy and microfluidics research.
