Two Harry S. Truman Fellows are undertaking research to translate advanced quantum optical principles from laboratory concepts into scalable, manufacturable devices. Truman Fellow Sam Peana focuses on quantum photonics research. As a doctoral student, he contributed to a team thaat identified a novel single-photon emitter found in silicon nitride-oxide materials. He subsequently developed techniques for…
Sandia to restart molten-salt test loop with $2.5 million DOE funding
Sandia National Laboratories is thawing out what reportedly amounts to the world’s largest molten-salt test facility after a seven-year freeze, armed with a $2.5 million DOE grant that will let companies stress-test pumps, valves and heat-exchangers at 600°C. Sandia intends to complete the restart next year. Once up and running, the revived 7,000-gal Molten Salt…
