A switchable single-atom catalyst is activated in the presence of surface intermediates and reverts to its stable inactive form when the reaction is completed.

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

Combining cold spray deposition and friction stir processing for a more efficient route to oxide dispersion strengthened steel.

An atomic sieving effect selectively promotes diffusion of some species, leading to different oxidation rates at surface facets.

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.

PMedIC, the PNNL and OHSU joint research collaboration, contributes to student success and impact in biomedicine.

Fully identifying what controls nanocrystal assembly requires incorporating non-traditional forces into models.

To improve our ability to “see” into the subsurface, scientists need to understand how different mineral surfaces respond to electrical signals at the molecular scale.

The surface oxygen functionality of graphene oxide may be tuned using ultraviolet light, affecting how differently charged ions move through the material.

Researchers studied the boundary precipitation of tungsten heavy alloys in an extended high temperature irradiation environment

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

A new study examines the effect of peptoid sequences on the mechanisms and kinetics of their two-dimensional assembly on mica surfaces and how molecular interactions alter assembly kinetics.
