American Geophysical Union Publishes Hope Michelsen’s Induction to Alameda County Women’s Hall of Fame

On May 2, 2013, in CRF, Facilities, News, News & Events, Transportation Energy

The April 9 issue of EOS, Transactions of the American Geophysical Union, ran a news item in their “Geophysisicists Honors” section about Hope Michelsen’s (in the Combustion Chemistry Dept.) induction into the Alameda County Women’s Hall of Fame ([94(15), p 144], announced here in February). The American Geophysical Union is the world’s largest professional society for geophysicists [...]


CRF Researchers Measure Reaction Rates of Second Key Atmospheric Component

On May 1, 2013, in Analysis, Capabilities, Climate, CRF, Energy, Facilities, Global Climate & Energy, Modeling & Analysis, News, News & Events, Office of Science, Research & Capabilities, Sensing & Monitoring, Transportation Energy

Researchers at Sandia’s Combustion Research Facility, the University of Manchester, Bristol University, University of Southampton, and Hong Kong Polytechnic have successfully measured reaction rates of a second Criegee intermediate, CH3CHOO, and proven that the reactivity of the atmospheric chemical depends strongly on which way the molecule is twisted. The measurements will provide further insight into [...]

Sandia reveals the breadth of its hydrogen fuel expertise in the recently published Hydrogen Storage Technology—Materials and Applications. Sandia researcher Lennie Klebanoff (Hydrogen and Combustion Technologies Dept.) is confident that the book will give readers a sense of urgency about the need to get zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell vehicles on the road, and to get [...]


ECIS, Boeing, Caltrans, and Others: Fuel-Cell-Powered Mobile Lighting Applications

On March 29, 2013, in Capabilities, CRF, Energy, Energy Efficiency, Facilities, Partnership, Research & Capabilities, Transportation Energy

Highway construction workers, airport maintenance personnel, and film crews use small, portable lighting systems known as “mobile lighting.” Traditionally, mobile lighting units are powered by diesel-fueled generators that produce CO2, NOx (nitrogen oxides produced during combustion), and soot, putting them at odds with responsible environmental stewardship. Sandia, with help from Boeing, the California Department of [...]
