We are more than the sum of When I first came to Sandia in 1983, one of the our parts. Our deep science and engineering foundations provide us with a cross- things that attracted me was that I hadn’t come across disciplinary advantage that lets us solve some of the nation’s toughest problems. any other institution in the nation quite like it. There This year’s edition of Labs Accomplishments drives home that point. You’ll read were plenty of interesting places, plenty of interesting about advances we’re making in solving some of the most complex problems that labs, but Sandia was different; it was engaged in fasci- face the nation through our nuclear weapons and nuclear security work, in sup- nating work not just in one or two specialized areas porting our nation’s warfighters, in addressing energy challenges, and in prepar- but across a broad range of technical fields.

  • America's National Laboratory System
    America’s National Laboratory System U.S. DEPARTMENT OF A Powerhouse of Science, Engineering, and Technology ENERGY The 17 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories are a cornerstone of the United States’ innovation ecosystem, performing leading-edge research in the public interest. Launched as part of a wave of federal investment in science around World War II, the DOE National Laboratories have evolved into one of the world’s most productive and sophisticated research systems. Over this time, DOE National Laboratory scientists have won 80 Nobel Prizes in the sciences. Today, this system maintains one-of-a-kind multidisciplinary research capabilities, large scale scientifc tools, and teams of experts focused on the Department’s and the nation’s most important priorities in science, energy, and national security. NATIONAL LABORATORY MISSIONS DISCOVERY SCIENCE DOE is the nation’s largest funder of the physical sciences. Every day, researchers at the National Laboratories make discoveries in basic science that advance knowledge and provide the foundation for American innovation. From unlocking atomic energy to mapping the human genome and pushing the frontiers of nanotechnology, National Lab scientists have led the way in making breakthrough discoveries and are recognized by their peers as global leaders. ENERGY SECURITY AND INDEPENDENCE With research underway on a host of next-generation energy technologies, the National Labs are key to an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy that advances U.S. energy independence. From developing much of the horizontal drilling and drill bit technology that helped spark today’s domestic oil and gas boom to developing the critical technology behind many of today’s electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind turbines, the National Labs have pushed the boundaries of the nation’s energy technology frontier.

  • Advanced Light Source Upgrade Project Achieves Major Milestone
    N E W S C E N T E R Advanced Light Source Upgrade Project Achieves Major Milestone Berkeley Lab’s biggest project in 30 years one step closer to start of construction; upgrade could help advance next-gen technologies for clean energy, the environment, and health News Release Theresa Duque (510) 495-2418 • April 16, 2021 VIDEO: The new swap-out injection system will be implemented as part of the $590 million Advanced Light Source Upgrade (ALS-U) project. This unique feature, developed by Berkeley Lab scientists, is a critical component of the upgrade that will enable the ALS to produce brighter beams with a more ordered structure, better revealing nanoscale details in complex chemical reactions and in new materials. (Credit: Berkeley Lab) THE ADVANCED LIGHT SOURCE (ALS), A SCIENTIFIC USER FACILITY at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), has received federal approval for the budget, schedule, and technical scope for a major upgrade project that will boost the brightness of its X-ray beams at least a hundredfold. In addition to brighter X-ray beams, the ALS Upgrade (ALS-U) project will enable the ALS to deliver light with a more ordered “coherent” structure – like evenly spaced ripples in a pond – that will better reveal nanoscale (billionths of a meter) details in complex chemical reactions and in new materials. “For nearly three decades, the ALS has developed innovative X-ray tools and used these to support a world-renowned portfolio of user science and collaboration,” said ALS Director Steve Kevan. “The ALS upgrade will allow us to vastly sharpen our tools and to accelerate that work for several more decades as we learn to design chemical, material, and biological systems that will solve the pressing energy and environmental challenges we face.” This cutaway rendering of the Advanced Light Source dome shows the layout of three electron- accelerating rings with beamlines.
