PNNL has formed a partnership with the Orlando-based firm Refinity, which has licensed a key process from PNNL that will help the company convert mixed plastic waste into valuable industrial products like chemicals, plastics, and fuels.
PNNL researchers have found yet another way to turn trash into treasure: using algal biochar, a waste production from hydrothermal liquefaction, as a supplementary material for cement.
Researchers developed a robust, cost-effective, and easy-to-use cap-based technique for spatial proteome mapping, addressing the lack of accessible proteomics technologies for studying tissue heterogeneity and microenvironments.
Despite the widespread presence of RNA viruses in soils, little is known about the relative contributions and interactions of biological and environmental factors shaping the composition of soil RNA viral communities.
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.
A team of researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory developed a new and flexible software tool called “Advanced Spectra PCA Toolbox.”
Sequencing of microbiome and characterization of metabolome revealed significantly different functions of fine root systems from four temperate tree species in a 26-year-old common garden forest.
Spatial proteomics enables researchers to link protein measurements to features in the image of a tissue sample, which are lost using standard approaches.
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.
