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.
Recycling polyolefin materials is challenging. One waste management strategy is plastic upcycling. New work demonstrates a single-step upcycling route coupling cracking and alkylation, recycling carbon and keeping valuable resources active.
An initiative from Washington State University and Snohomish County leaders is aiming to make Paine Field a nexus for testing and improving sustainable aviation fuels made from non-petroleum materials.
Scientists screen for nanobodies that recognize wild type and mutant functional proteins to develop a framework to disrupt protein interactions that can cause disease.
COVID-19 infections at PNNL early in the pandemic were caused by a wide variety of viral sequences, according to a new analysis by Laboratory researchers.
SAGE is a high-efficiency genome integration strategy for bacteria that makes the stable introduction of new traits simple for newly discovered microbes.
A PNNL innovation uses steam to recover heat from the high-temperature reactor effluent in the HTL process, substantially reducing the propensity for fouling and potentially reducing costs.
Gosline works to develop computational algorithms that are uniquely targeted for rare disease work by doing foundational research in model system development. This work can be expanded to all model systems in human disease.
To thwart pathogens, researchers in the epidemiology field of infectious disease (ID) prediction are continuously trying to forecast when, where, and how an ID event will occur.
