A process for converting carbon-rich pollution to jet fuel powered a commercial flight for the first time, marking history and ushering in a new era for low-carbon aviation.
The vast reservoir of carbon stored beneath our feet is entering Earth's atmosphere at an increasing rate, according to a new study in the journal Nature.
For the first time, researchers have created a gram of yellowcake — a powdered form of uranium used to produce fuel for nuclear power production — using modified acrylic fibers to extract it from seawater.
A mix of factors is contributing to an increasing mortality rate of trees in the moist tropics, where trees are dying at about twice the rate they were 35 years ago.
Tiny particles fuel powerful storms and influence weather much more than has been appreciated, according to a study by PNNL scientists and colleagues in the journal Science.
A new research approach to geoengineering could potentially be used to limit Earth's warming to a specific target while reducing some of the risks and concerns identified in past studies.
PNNL scientist Janet Jansson led scores of scientists who published in the journal Nature the most extensive snapshot ever of the vast microbial life on Earth.
