Heat It and Read It
Sandia National Laboratories

Unlike most medical diagnostic devices which can perform only one type of test — either protein or nucleic acid tests — Sandia’s SpinDx can now perform both. This allows it to identify nearly any cause of illness, including viruses, bacteria, toxins or immune system markers of chemical agent exposure.

Quantum computing steps further ahead with new projects at Sandia
Sandia National Laboratories

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Quantum computing is a term that periodically flashes across the media sky like heat lightning in the desert: brilliant, attention-getting and then vanishing from the public’s mind with no apparent aftereffects.Yet a multimillion dollar international effort to build quantum computers is hardly going away.

Sandia Microneedles Technique May Mean Quicker Diagnoses of Major Illnesses
Sandia National Laboratories

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — When people are in the early stages of an undiagnosed disease, immediate tests that lead to treatment are the best first steps. But a blood draw — usually performed by a medical professional armed with an uncomfortably large needle — might not be quickest, least painful or most effective method, according to new research.
