The Latest Breaking News from Sandia

Sandia researchers developed a tiny structure guiding infrared light with minimal loss. This artificial crystal, made from gallium arsenide, controlled light wavelengths effectively. The design offered potential for more efficient lasers and faster photonic chips. Researchers used cladding and nanoscale holes to keep light confined within the structure.

In 1997, Sandia National Laboratories secured $393,000 to solve background glare on physical crime scene evidence. By modulating light at high speeds, researchers forced organic fingerprints to pulse while surrounding materials remained steady, enabling digital sensors to filter out visual background noise. Decades later, this time-gated fluorescence technique remains foundational…

While neuromorphic computing remains under research for the time being, efforts into the field have continued to grow over the years, as have the capabilities of the specialty chips that have been developed for this research. Following those lines, this morning Intel and Sandia National Laboratories are celebrating the deployment…

Scientists charged with making sure the United States' aging stockpile of nuclear weapons are good to go, if needed, say they’ll start shipping key components to the Nevada desert next year

Self-healing metals could completely change the way the world is built, including bridges, buildings, and especially spacecraft.
