The Health Physics Society has selected Jonathan Napier, a PNNL environmental health physicist, to serve as a delegate to the International Radiation Protection Association’s General Assembly.
PNNL scientists have been studying how rivers and streams breathe. Their research focuses on respiration, organic matter, and natural disturbances that affect rivers and streams.
PNNL chief scientist and joint appointee Auroop Ganguly was recently appointed a Distinguished Member of the Association for Computing Machinery, a high honor from the world's largest computer science society.
In soil, microbes produce and consume methane. Using a technique called pool dilution, researchers can separate the rate of methane production and consumption from the net rate.
PNNL scientists developed a new method to map exactly how a fungus works with leafcutter ants in a complex microbial community to degrade plant material at the molecular level. The team’s insights are important for biofuels development.
Identifying how curvature affects the doping and hydrogen binding energies of carbon-based materials provides a framework for designing hydrogen storage materials.
A simple gel-based system separates metals ions from a model solution of dissolved battery electrodes without the need for specialty chemicals, membranes, or toxic solvents.
