  • Sandia at the U.S. Senate 🏛️ Sandia’s Jennifer Gaudioso testified before Congress on how national labs scientists are poised to advance artificial intelligence to address some of the most complex scientific and national security challenges. “We know we can build much more exquisite and impactful models if we train them on the data we have in the Department of Energy. If we can test a chemistry model, with the trusted chemistry knowledge encoded in it, we can use that to make science go much faster and make connections that no human is ever going to make,” said Jennifer Gaudioso, a chemist by training.

  • The world’s first hydrogen-powered commercial ferry ⛴️ Sea Change is currently operating in the San Francisco Bay and is safe for passengers thanks to a Sandia invention that vents potentially flammable vapors away from the ship. “By using a Flow Assist Vent Mast, the venting structure can be shorter, lighter, and safer, which makes it easier to have a hydrogen fueled boat be attractive and more widely accepted. It will be exciting to have more hydrogen fuel cell vessels because they are quieter, reduce air pollution, and completely prevent polluting fuel spills because hydrogen cannot be trapped by water. It will be a benefit for everyone, everywhere,” said Sandia fluid dynamicist Myra Blaylock. Read more about Sea Change: https://bit.ly/463Z3gQ

    #USSTRATCOM Commander Gen. Anthony Cotton and Command Senior Enlisted Leader Sgt. Maj. Howard Kreamer recently visited Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, N.M., to meet with onsite lab leadership and senior National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) officials. During an all-hands engagement, Gen. Cotton and Jill Hruby, Undersecretary for National Security and NNSA Administrator, discussed today’s strategic environment with Sandia personnel. Visits like this to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear security enterprise sites enable U.S. Strategic Command leadership to see firsthand their innovative efforts to maintain and modernize the U.S. nuclear stockpile, supporting #Readiness and #StrategicDeterrence.
