Five researchers cluster around a computer screen in a large shed-like building. They watch as a line moves up and down following the power output generated by the large, piston-like machine they designed to mimic the movement of ocean waves. Four hundred and fifty miles from the nearest ocean, a group of scientists at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico have developed a method to help wave energy convertors (WECs) adapt their power output to account for different wave conditions.

A team at Sandia National Laboratories developed a molecule that helps change the way some materials react to temperature fluctuations, which makes them more durable. It’s an application that could be used in everything from plastic phone cases to missiles. Polymers, which include various forms of plastics, are made up of many smaller molecules, bonded together.

Cement production is responsible for about eight percent of global CO2 emissions. Finding alternative, environmentally friendly building materials is essential to the United States goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories’ Water Power and Materials Science programs are studying ways to manufacture low-carbon composites from recycled bio-based materials that could meet this need.

Photovoltaic researchers at Sandia National Laboratories are partnering with tech-company Morgan Solar to identify and quantify the amount of energy lost when a solar PV plant is covered in snow. Scientists will evaluate Morgan’s I IOT sensor, the IV DAQ, which captures continuous in situ data and can operate in any solar environment, making the device an ideal tool for measuring the effects of remediable losses like dust and pollen soiling and snow-cover.
