In a recent publication in Nature Communications, a team of researchers presents a mathematical theory to address the challenge of barren plateaus in quantum machine learning.
Despite the widespread presence of RNA viruses in soils, little is known about the relative contributions and interactions of biological and environmental factors shaping the composition of soil RNA viral communities.
Early life exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), found in smoke, has been linked to developmental problems. To study the impacts of these pollutants, PAH metabolism in infants and adults were compared.
A compilation of soil viral genomes provides a comprehensive description of the soil virosphere, its potential to impact global biogeochemistry, and an open database for future investigations of soil viral ecology.
A multi-institutional team of researchers conducted a 13C-labeling greenhouse study using a semi-arid grassland soil, where they tracked the fate of 13C-labeled inputs from living roots and decaying roots from annual grass Avena barbata.
The study found that the way a fire burns (in open air versus in an oven in a controlled lab setting) can greatly change the leftover materials (char or charcoal) and how they interact in the environment.
A team of researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory developed a new and flexible software tool called “Advanced Spectra PCA Toolbox.”
PNNL played host in mid-May to the Artificial Intelligence for Robust Engineering & Science workshop, an annual event that explores advances in artificial intelligence
Research at PNNL and the University of Texas at El Paso are addressing computational challenges of thinking beyond the list and developing bioagent-agnostic signatures to assess threats.
Sequencing of microbiome and characterization of metabolome revealed significantly different functions of fine root systems from four temperate tree species in a 26-year-old common garden forest.
PNNL recently partnered with Amazon Web Services for AWS GameDay, a gamified learning event that challenges participants to use AWS solutions to solve real-world technical problems in a team-based setting.
Researchers used a combination of sophisticated laboratory incubations and field measurements to determine the role of microbial production and consumption of methane in soils with different exposure to tidal inundation
