Sandia nuclear physicist selected fellow of AAAS

January 13, 2021 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Susan Seestrom, associate laboratories director for advanced science and technology and chief research officer at Sandia National Laboratories, has been named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The physicist was cited “for her pathbreaking work in nuclear physics, especially using ultra cold...

Sandia magnetized fusion technique produces significant results

September 22, 2014 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories’ Z machine have produced a significant output of fusion neutrons, using a method fully functioning for only little more than a year. The experimental work is described in a paper to be published in the Sept. 24 Physical Review Letters online. A...

High-impact Sandia physicist publishes technical, yet personal, memoir

June 6, 2013 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The swan song of retiring Sandia physicist Tom Sanford is in a technical, yet personal, memoir about experiments that changed the course of research at particle accelerators around the world. His experiments in the mid-1990s made the Z accelerator a more effective candidate to achieve peacetime fusion...

Dry-run experiments verify key aspect of Sandia nuclear fusion concept

September 17, 2012 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Magnetically imploded tubes called liners, intended to help produce controlled nuclear fusion at scientific “break-even” energies or better within the next few years, have functioned successfully in preliminary tests, according to a Sandia research paper accepted for publication by Physical Review Letters (PRL). To exceed scientific break-even is...
