Sandia National Laboratory, Albuquerque
Sandia is at the forefront of new technologies. Right now, scientists are making strides in automated robot manufacturing and nanotechnologies. The lab’s Electronics Quality and Reliability Center is available to commercial electronics manufacturers. In addition, Sandia licenses its SUMMiT technology, an advanced surface micromachining process. Sandia is also building its new, $420 million Microsystems Engineering and Sciences Applications facility, scheduled for completion in 2005.
Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos
Consistently a player in the development of new technology, LANL is a leader in high-performance computing and advanced materials. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are important areas of research here. In fact, in September 2004, scientists grew a world-record-length, four-centimeter-long, single-wall carbon nanotube. At LANL, 54 user facilities are available to industry.
University of New Mexico, Albuquerque
Most notable is the university’s new 56,000-square-foot Manufacturing Training and Technology Center, which includes offices, labs, and classrooms to support start-up companies, education, and research. Also at UNM, the Center for High Technology Materials is nationally recognized for its work in optoelectronics and microelectronics.
Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies, Albuquerque
A joint effort between Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratories, this organization operates a national user facility dedicated to establishing scientific principles governing the design, performance, and integration of nanoscale materials. Though CINT is operational now, the construction of new facilities in Albuquerque and Los Alamos is underway, scheduled for completion in May 2007. The new headquarters will include a fabrication laboratory, cleanrooms, and office space designed to promote collaboration between universities, other labs, and private industry.
Santa Fe Institute, Santa Fe
The Santa Fe Institute is a private, not-for-profit independent research and education center focusing on multi-disciplinary collaboration in physical, biological, computational, and social sciences. Its fellows are dedicated to the idea that the understanding of complex systems is critical to addressing key environmental, technological, biological, economic and political challenges. Among its trustees is Murray Gell-Mann, Santa Fe resident and winner of the 1969 Nobel Prize in physics.
Institute of Advanced Microelectronics, Albuquerque
This organization develops circuit and flight electronic technology for NASA and the U.S. electronics industry.
