Increasing concentrations of ions slows the rate of particle aggregation in boehmite suspensions.

New datasets delineating global urban land support scientific research, application, and policy, but they can produce different results when applied to the same problem making it difficult for researchers to decide which to use.

New IDREAM research explores the effects of electrolyte species on boehmite nanoparticle aggregation in legacy wastes.

The demand for energy is growing—and so is the technology supporting it. However, future development of power generation technologies could be affected by a key factor: material supply.

Hydrogen atoms released and trapped in irradiated gibbsite are destabilized by synthetic-precursor residuals.

The Delaware River Basin is projected to experience a regional increase in flood severity under future climate scenarios.

When exposed to a sufficiently high dose of ionizing radiation, gibbsite and boehmite are less susceptible to dehydration-induced breakdown.

IDREAM scientists capture electronic response to ionization.

IDREAM research shows the size of cations in highly concentrated nitrite solutions affects the production of radicals.

Researchers investigated how stable nanoparticle suspensions form using facet engineering on hematite nanoparticles, demonstrating that controlling the faceting of nanoparticles can effectively maintain particle dispersity.

Differences in water interactions lead to two gibbsite dissolution pathways modulated by solution acidity.

Pacific Northwest may face increase in summer heat-dome-like stationary waves.

Earth Scientist Laura Fierce mentors Department of Energy Science Graduate Student Research program awardees.

Irradiation in a sodium hydroxide solution increases the dissolution rate and particle roughness of gibbsite compared to dry irradiation.

PNNL has joined Gender Champions in Nuclear Policy, a leadership network that brings together leaders of organizations working in nuclear policy who are committed to breaking down gender barriers.

Resolving how nanoparticles come together is important for industry and environmental remediation. New work predicts nanoparticle aggregation behavior across a wide range of scales for the first time.

Variations in the level of market globalization can greatly affect the amount of water required to meet future global demand for agricultural commodities.

A team of Washington State University students delivered a project designed to improve preparation of environmental samples for analysis at PNNL.

Climate change and socioeconomic pressures are transforming passenger and freight transportation in the Arctic, producing effects that have yet to be fully understood.

Testing the assumption that different future socio-economic development patterns, which result in different land-use changes, can be paired with different future climate outcomes for risk assessments in a multi-model framework.
