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.
Mandy Mahoney, director of the DOE Building Technologies Office, visited PNNL in late November. One key agenda item involved meeting with staff for a discussion of effective equity and justice integration in buildings-related research.
PNNL is at the midpoint of a study focused on the installation of electric heat pump water heaters in New Orleans homes. The efficient water heaters offer a unique capability that could help speed the transition from fossil fuels.
Across the United States, organic carbon concentration imposes a primary control on river sediment respiration, with additional influences from organic matter chemistry.
PNNL’s extensive portfolio of buildings-grid research included three projects that helped answer some of the technical questions related to leveraging energy consumption in buildings to enhance grid operations.
Research from PNNL and the University of Washington demonstrates the extension of the MBE for periodic systems and its use to decompose the lattice energies of different ice polymorphs.
The Northwest Connected Communities Summit brought together representatives of five Department of Energy-funded Connected Communities Projects to share ideas and discuss potential collaboration opportunities.
Staff at PNNL recently completed a report highlighting commercial products enabled through projects funded by the Department of Energy’s Building Technologies Office.
PNNL researchers developed a hybrid quantum-classical approach for coupled-cluster Green’s function theory that maintains accuracy while cutting computational costs.
A new perspective article discusses how integrating carbon dioxide capture and conversion in solvents can lead to cheaper and more efficient carbon management systems.
