Post by Sandia National Laboratories

Happy National New Mexico Day! ❤️💚 Sandia celebrates by reminiscing on a green chile roast at the Labs’ National Solar Thermal Test Facility, when engineers used concentrated sunlight to roast chile with flavorful results. “We used green chile to showcase the culture of New Mexico,” engineer Ken Armijo said. “Combining the state-of-the-art facilities and research at Sandia National Labs with the culture, food and people of New Mexico is just so special. What other national lab in the world would have done this?”
