CRF Researchers Awarded David A. Shirley Award for Outstanding Scientific Achievement

Craig Taatjes and David Osborn (both in 8353), along with collaborators at the universities of Manchester and Bristol, were given this LBNL Advanced Light Source (ALS) award for their work in making the first direct measurements of the reactions of Criegee intermediates and showing that their impact on tropospheric chemistry and climate may be substantially [...]

ECIS Biosciences Featured in Top Trade Publication

The latest edition of International Innovation features a Q&A with Malin Young (Director, Biological and Materials Science Center) and focuses on Sandia’s biosciences work. Malin describes how the Biological Science and Technology Department is working to protect the U.S. from biological threats, and how its innovative approach to biofuels could provide solutions to future energy [...]

Graphene Image Cover for Journal of Materials Chemistry

The Journal of Materials Chemistry selected to highlight on the December 7, 2012 (Volume 22, Issue 45), journal cover a high-resolution image of three-dimensional graphene structures. The samples were prepared by Ronen Polsky (1714) and were imaged by Joe Michael (1819) in an advanced scanning electron microscope. The cover image is a composite produced by [...]

Sandia Earns Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) Awards

Paul Hommert has been named 2013 Laboratory Director of the Year by the FLC for his support of technology transfer activities at Sandia. The FLC said the award recognized the excellence of work during 2012 by Hommert, Sandia’s president and laboratories director, and the entire Sandia tech transfer program. The FLC also honored Sandia and [...]

Biofuels Blend Right In: Researchers Show Ionic Liquids Effective for Pretreating Mixed Blends of Biofuel Feedstocks

Winemakers have long known that blending different grape varietals can favorably balance the flavor characteristics of the wine they produce. In the future, makers of advanced biofuels might use a similar strategy, blending different feedstock varieties to balance the energy characteristics of the transportation fuel they produce. A collaborative study by researchers with the DOE’s [...]
