The Sandia-developed technique coats a cell’s insides with a silica solution to form a near-‐perfect replica of its internal structure—simplifying a wide variety of commercial fabrication processes from the nano- to macro-scale. The work, reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, uses the nanoscopic organelles and other tiny components of mammalian cells [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
In response to increased interest in wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductor projects by DOE, on October 30, 2012, Sandia hosted a one-day brainstorming workshop aimed at identifying the value, scope, structure, and partnership opportunities of a potential National Center for Wide Bandgap Semiconductors. Participants from DOE, industry, academia, and other labs participated in a series of breakout [...]
