NRC Chair Christopher Hanson tours the nondestructive examination laboratories and learns more about PNNL’s broad support to the NRC mission.

Researchers designed a new, highly efficient, stable redox-active material from neutral red dye that can efficiently capture CO2 from air.

Leaders from the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy visited PNNL October 19–20 for a firsthand look at capabilities and research progress.

Metabolism metrics provide information about biological activity and carbon cycling in rivers. Conditions in large rivers differ from smaller rivers and require adjustments to existing methods.

Researchers demonstrated a path to quantitatively map hydrogen pick up in model steels.

Scientists developed a process (or pipeline) that combined molecular probes—a specific chemical that binds to microbes carrying out a particular function—with a method that isolated these cells from their complex community.

The pathway of oxygen ion movement can be controlled based on the initial structure and substrate of strontium iron oxide thin films.

Surface composition can control the electronic properties of buried interfaces.

Oxide/metal interfaces act as the primary path for oxygen to move to and around nanoscale protective oxide layers.

High fidelity simulations enabled by high-performance computing will allow for unprecedented predictive power of molecular level processes that are not amenable to experimental measurement.

A poem inspired by radioactive tank waste—“Can a Scientist Dream it Alone?”—was awarded first place in the Department of Energy’s Poetry of Science Art Contest.

A suite of experiments provide insight into how diopside reacts with carbon dioxide to form stable carbonate species.

The diversity and function of organic matter in rivers at a large scale are influenced by factors, such as the types of vegetation covering the land, the energy characteristics, and the breakdown potential of the molecules.

New research reveals enhanced CO2 transport across a polyether ether ketone membrane and water-lean solvent interface

Simulations show an amorphous intermediate that allows impurities to incorporate into crystallizing calcium carbonate.

Bradley Crowell with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission sees advanced materials integrity, radiological measurement, and environmental capabilities on his first visit to PNNL.

A crystalline silicate framework forms through a non-classical, multi-step nucleation mechanism based on structurally precise clusters.

A new review describes the insights that may be gained into important electrochemical processes using ion soft landing.
