Nuclear Security Enterprise technology transfer: An American success story

Have you had #LASIK eye surgery, or seen your eye doctor recently? Then thank Sandia National Laboratories, which developed the Wavefront technology for NASA telescopes. This laser technology was then adapted to use for #eyeball measurements.

You might think NNSA only works with nuclear weapons, but Nevada National Security Site helped developed the JOLT series of devices -– small, portable tools that help technicians better detect improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and eliminate the threat.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory developed the Microbial Detection Array, which can rapidly identify thousands of unknown bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's DYNA 3D computer code predicts vehicle behavior in collision tests, rather than using real cars. This type of simulation saves the U.S. auto industry billions each year.

If you’ve ever taken a commercial flight, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory made it a little safer. Its laser peening technology is a major improvement over traditional metal peening, and increases the strength and longevity of metal components used in aircraft.

What do FISH have to do with genetics? Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization, AKA chromosome painting, was co-developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. FISH provides critical genetic information about cancers and other disorders, and guides treatment decisions.

Sandia National Laboratories helped develop Stingray, a device that uses a blade of water to cut through steel and disable deadly IEDs. Since 2010, more than 5,000 Stingrays have been deployed to protect soldiers, mostly in Afghanistan.
