Sandia, ASU collaborate on algae computational modeling, look for algae pond predators

Work part of a broader framework for funding energy-related science, technology LIVERMORE, Calif.— Sandia National Laboratories and Arizona State University (ASU) have teamed up to further improve computational models of algae growth in raceway ponds that can predict performance, improve pond design and operation and discover ways to improve algae yield outdoors. Such ponds consist […]

LED Pulser developed by Sandia delivers laser-like performance at fraction of the cost

LIVERMORE, Calif. — When Sandia National Laboratories electronics engineer Chris Carlen got enthusiastic about flashlights containing high-power light-emitting devices (LEDs), he didn’t expect his hobby to lead to the creation of a new, high-speed LED driver that delivers lighting performance that exceeds that of conventional sources at a fraction of the cost. The Sandia LED […]

Sandia researchers win ‘best paper’ award from AIAA

Paper focuses on scramjet engines used for supersonic flight LIVERMORE, Calif. — The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) has recognized Sandia National Laboratories researchers Joe Oefelein and Guilhem Lacaze with a best paper award for their work on scramjet engine simulations. The paper, “A Priori Analysis of Flamelet-Based Modeling for a Dual-Mode Scramjet […]
