Simple sound method could boost oil refining efficiency
Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers discovered that sound waves in metal organ pipes naturally separate gases. The acoustic method could reduce tritium waste, aid medical isotope production, and lower refinery costs by simplifying separation equipment.

Ringed Earth: asteroid debris could trigger long climate freezes
University of New Mexico climate researcher Peter Fawcett and Sandia physicist Mark Boslough propose that a Saturn like ring formed by a past asteroid hit could chill the tropics and drive a 100000 year global freeze. Their computer simulations align with an Eocene cold spell found in rocks, suggesting rings may influence ancient climate.
