Ice created in nanoseconds by Sandia's Z machine
03-15-2007 · EurekAlert!Sandia's huge Z machine, which generates termperatures hottter than the sun, has turned water to ice in nanoseconds. However, don’t expect anything commercial just yet: the ice is hotter than the boiling point of water.

- Cyber Security Project Helps Keep Oil, Gas Control Systems Safe
10-12-2006 · ScienceDaily
For the past 12 months, Sandia National Laboratories has served as the lead lab in Project LOGIIC (Linking the Oil and Gas Industry to Improve Cyber Security). The project was created to keep U.S. oil and gas control systems safe and secure, and to help minimize the chance that a terrorist attack could severely damage or cripple America's oil and gas infrastructure.

- Duke scientists map imprinted genes in human genome
11-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists at Duke University have created the first map of imprinted genes throughout the human genome, and they say a modern-day Rosetta stone -- a form of artificial intelligence called machine learning -- was the key to their success. The study revealed four times as many imprinted genes as had been previously identified and is featured on the cover of the Dec. 3 issue of Genome Research.

- Z machine melts diamond to puddle
11-02-2006 · EurekAlert!
Sandia's Z machine, by creating pressures more than 10 million times that of the atmosphere at sea level, has turned a diamond sheet into a pool of liquid, in an experiment to better understand the characteristics of diamond under the extreme pressure it would face when used as a capsule for a BB-sized pellet intended to fuel a nuclear fusion reaction.

- Cloned Mice Created From Fully Differentiated Cells, A Milestone In Cloning Research
10-02-2006 · ScienceDaily
New research dismisses the notion that adult stem cells are necessary for successful animal cloning, proving instead that cells that have completely evolved to a specific type not only can be used for cloning purposes, but they may be better and more efficient. As proof, researchers report they created two mouse pups from a type of blood cell that itself is incapable of dividing to produce a second generation of its own kind.
