Affordable renewable energy gets a boost with a new water splitting advance

A new artificial synapse approach could bring artificially intelligent learning to small devices

A battery-like device could act as an artificial synapse within computing systems intended to imitate the brain’s efficiency and ability to learn. The brain’s capacity for simultaneously learning and memorizing large amounts of information while requiring little energy has inspired an entire field to pursue brain-like – or neuromorphic – computers. Researchers at Stanford University

A 100 times speed boost for artificially intelligent devices

Technique should benefit smart phones and self-driving cars Whetstone, a software tool that sharpens the output of artificial neurons, has enabled neural computer networks to process information up to a hundred times more efficiently than the current industry standard, say the Sandia National Laboratories researchers who developed it. The aptly named software, which greatly reduces

Advance testing to help save electronics from electromagnetic pulse disruption

An electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, emitted by a nuclear weapon exploded high above the United States could disable the electronic circuits of many devices vital to military defense and modern living. These could include complicated weapon systems as well as phones, laptops, credit cards and car computers. Also in trouble might be home appliances, gas

A hydrogen-powered research vessel is technically and economically feasible

Sandia-led team designs zero-emissions marine research vessel Marine research could soon be possible without the risk of polluting either the air or the ocean. It’s thanks to a new ship design and feasibility study led by Sandia National Laboratories. Hydrogen fuel cells have existed for decades, and there are multiple advantages to using them instead

Growing a superior hydrogen catalyst for fuel cells

Sandia, University of California project aimed at reducing cost of hydrogen fuel cells Replacing your everyday gas guzzler with a hydrogen fueled car could drastically reduce your carbon footprint. So why don’t we all make the switch? One of reasons we don’t is the expensive platinum catalyst required to operate hydrogen fuel cells efficiently. Research

New wave energy converters get competitive to help power the grid

Compared to wind and solar energy, wave energy has remained relatively expensive and hard to capture, but engineers from Sandia National Laboratories are working to change that by drawing inspiration from other industries. Sandia’s engineering team has designed, modeled and tested a control system that doubles the amount of power a wave energy converter can

New wave energy converters get competitive to help power the grid

Fractal-like concentrating solar power receivers are 20 percent better at absorbing sunlight

Sandia National Laboratories engineers have developed new fractal-like, concentrating solar power receivers for small- to medium-scale use that are up to 20 percent more effective at absorbing sunlight than current technology. The receivers were designed and studied as part of a Laboratory Directed Research and Development project and are also being applied to Sandia’s work for the

New discovery may ultimately make biofuels competitive with petroleum

A recent discovery by Sandia National Laboratories researchers may unlock the potential of biofuel waste — and ultimately make biofuels competitive with petroleum. Fuel made from plants is much more expensive than petroleum, but one way to decrease the cost would be to sell products made from lignin, the plant waste left over from biofuel

New discovery may ultimately make biofuels competitive with petroleum

A $100 smartphone-controlled diagnostic device can detect Zika, dengue and chikungunya within 30 minutes

Add rapid, mobile testing for Zika and other viruses to the list of things that smartphone technology is making possible. Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have developed a smartphone-controlled, battery-operated diagnostic device that weighs under a pound, costs as little as $100 and can detect Zika, dengue and chikungunya within 30 minutes. Testing for these
