Joe Lewis joslewi@sandia.gov Mike Janes Creating a global energy future that balances climate, security, and sustainability requires unprecedented international cooperation. New energy solutions, particularly in the transportation sector, will depend on a concerted effort and a new consensus that has yet to emerge. http://public.ca.sandia.gov/podcast/episodes/200903/2009-1325_P/HITEC_2009-1325_P.m4v Thu, 05 Mar 2009 15:43:18 GMT 3:33 biofuels, transportation, energy, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, energy independence, science, sandia Mike Janes Could a class of microorganisms known as extremophiles and their associated enzymes somehow unlock the key to a new transportation economy based on a renewable biofuel, lignocellulosic ethanol? Maybe. It is the concept behind a Sandia project, now into its second year, that aims to successfully demonstrate various computational tools and enzyme engineering methods that will make extreme enzymes relevant to the technical debate. http://public.ca.sandia.gov/podcast/episodes/200810/2008-5709W/sandianow-biofuels-2008-5709W.m4v Wed, 22 Oct 2008 19:44:18 GMT 2:41 biofuels, enzyme engineering, biomass, energy independence, extremophiles, research, science, energy, sandia, enzymes, alternative energy, renewable energy Mike Janes Algae is one of several potential fuel sources being looked at to help solve the global energy crisis. It is attractive on several fronts: It’s easy to produce, it can be grown in regions that aren’t used for food, and it doesn’t need to compete with the same water used in crop irrigation. Most important, algae is rich in oils that can be used in biodiesel production. An internally-funded project at Sandia, described here by molecular biologist Todd Lane, is addressing some of the technical challenges that researchers face in the effort to make algae a viable biofuel. http://public.ca.sandia.gov/podcast/episodes/200809/algae/sn01.m4a Thu, 04 Sep 2008 23:00:00 GMT 17:13 science, sandia, biofuels, algae, energy, research, alternative energy, renewable energy Mike Janes Sandia's Center for Cyber Defenders (CCD), using the popular Google Earth and other applications, have created a useful new tool for detection intrusion professionals. SHINI displays network activity in a variety of colorful and eye-catching forms, offering cyber security practitioners a visually appealing way to display and view security log data. http://public.ca.sandia.gov/podcast/episodes/200809/shini/SHINI.m4v Thu, 04 Sep 2008 23:00:00 GMT 2:15 security, cybersecurity, computers, technology, defense, network, intrusion detection, science, sandia, research
