August 6, 2004 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A method that creates smooth and strong interfaces between metals and metal oxides without high-temperature brazing has been patented by researchers at the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Sandia National Laboratories, Pacific Northwest National...

May 19, 2004 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A DOE groundbreaking ceremony for the 96,000 square foot core facility of the Sandia/Los Alamos joint Center for Integrative Nanotechnology (CINT) — the first Sandia laboratory facilities in Albuquerque built outside Kirtland Air Force Base — will be held...

March 25, 2004 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Creating a tool small enough to measure friction on a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device is not an easy task. The tool has to be about the width of a human hair.

February 16, 2004 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A novel method of simulating protein behavior to achieve new, desirable nanostructures has been achieved in prototype by two researchers from Sandia National Laboratories.

December 12, 2000 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A Science Day on Dec. 14 at Sandia National Laboratories that focuses on nanotechnology will include discussions on the status of a proposed nanotechnology center for New Mexico, new funding for engineering design of the multimillion dollar MESA...

October 5, 2000 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Pianos and cars may be tuned with wrenches and screwdrivers, but the old clunky tools just won’t do to adjust the sizes of trillions of nanoscopic pores in fine filters, sensors, or diffraction gratings to make them work better.

May 4, 2000 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Observed through a microscope, dried ink appears as a jumble of particles. Now an ink has been produced that, as it dries, can be seen under very powerful microscopes to self-assemble into orderly layers of very tiny caves -- actually, nanoscopic pores...

January 21, 2000 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Sandia and other Department of Energy national laboratories will venture further into the truly tiny realm of atomic and molecular maneuvering following an announcement of a "National Nanotechnology Initiative" by President Clinton today from the California..

March 19, 1999 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Self-assembling nanospheres that fit inside each other like Russian dolls are one form of a broad range of submicroscopic spheres created in the past 12 months at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Sandia National Laboratories.

January 20, 1999 • LIVERMORE, Calif. -- Get organized!
