Water utilities, by design, are vulnerable to contamination, either accidental or intentional. Now, a prototype system from Sandia National Laboratories uses software tools to simulate threats and identify vulnerabilities in drinking-water systems, measure potential public health impacts, and evaluate mitigation and response strategies. It's all...
A software application, called building restoration operations optimization model, or BROOM, has been developed to help decision-makers clean-up contaminated buildings, subways, airports and other facilities. The tool, which was perfected by engineers at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, Calif., was initially aimed at...
Aaron Hand, Managing Editor Nanoimprint lithography uses a broad range of polymer materials to produce structures on the micron or nanometer scale. Using a 1x template, it offers the potential for lower production costs for such applications as optics, biotech devices,...
R&D 100 Award Winner Among Sandia National Laboratories' (Livermore, Calif.) four winning technologies this year in the annual R&D 100 Awards was TEPICTM, a hightemperature, high-strength, polymer foam for use as a lightweight, inexpensive molding form for advanced composite materials that cure at high temperatures. The R&D 100 Awards...
A researcher at Sandia National Laboratories has demonstrated that a special microscope quick enough to measure changes in Silly Putty may be the most effective tool for gauging the plastic behavior of more widely used materials. Materials made of matrices holding...
Composite materials that cure at high temperatures are becoming more prevalent in industry. Because of their high-temperature cure. only expensive metal tooling can be used to form these composites. Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories. Albuquerque, NM, in a joint effort with Scion Industries, LLC, Fort Collins,...

Geothermal researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have pushed the limits of HPHT sensors. The newly developed sensors are allowing geologists, geophysicists and well-log analysts worldwide to make more precise measurements of subterranean conditions. One use is for earthquake-related phenomena. Another is for geothermal resource assessment. The new tools...
A diagnostic device being developed at the National Nuclear Security Administration's Sandia National Laboratories promises better healthcare diagnostics for millions of Americans, replacing off-site labs for analysis and waiting days to obtain the vital information. Much of the research is centered on detection of gum disease from a patient's saliva...
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratory (Livermore, Calif.) have developed a high-temperature, highstrength structural foam called TEPIC for prototype and production-run composites tooling. Originally developed as a structural support material for an aerospace project, TEPIC was recently reintroduced as a candidate for high-performance tooling applications. The...
Microscale manufacturing requires microscale tools. A project at the Manufacturing Science and Technology Center of the Sandia National Laboratory (Albuquerque, NM) is entitled Ion Beam Manufacture of Microscale Tools and Components. The Focused Ion Beam laboratory is developing methods for ion-beam sculpting of microscale tools, components, and devices. This work...
