Microbes that were previously frozen in soils are becoming more active. This study demonstrates the diverse RNA viral communities found in thawed permafrost.
The award-winning PNNL innovation, called Mobile Source Transit Security, is an electronic system that keeps track of and secures radiological material in transit or at jobsites.
PNNL scientists carve a path to profit from carbon capture by creating a system that efficiently captures CO2 and converts it into one of the world’s most widely used chemicals: methanol.
Extreme winter storms are growing wetter and changing shape in the Western United States—such changes could compromise infrastructure designed to withstand only so much water.
A systematic, multiple scenario approach was used to analyze the compounding impacts of demands for land for biofuels with increased land scarcity under a diverse set of uncertainties.
Scientists used a new analysis approach—coupled laser ablation sampling and capillary absorption spectroscopy—to gather more information on how the rhizosphere processes carbon.
The nature of an iron oxide mineral and amount of light control electron movement from a light-absorbing molecule to the mineral, rather than the conditions of the surrounding aqueous environment.
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.
