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.
Spatial proteomics enables researchers to link protein measurements to features in the image of a tissue sample, which are lost using standard approaches.
Harish Gadey, David Peeler, and Tom Brouns named to Waste Management Symposia Program Advisory Committee positions to help develop radioactive waste management discussions.
PNNL has joined Gender Champions in Nuclear Policy, a leadership network that brings together leaders of organizations working in nuclear policy who are committed to breaking down gender barriers.
Resolving how nanoparticles come together is important for industry and environmental remediation. New work predicts nanoparticle aggregation behavior across a wide range of scales for the first time.
Soil is a massive reservoir of carbon, holding three times the amount of carbon than in the atmosphere. Soil is a massive reservoir of carbon, holding three times the amount of carbon than in the atmosphere.
Metabolism metrics provide information about biological activity and carbon cycling in rivers. Conditions in large rivers differ from smaller rivers and require adjustments to existing methods.
Scientists developed a process (or pipeline) that combined molecular probes—a specific chemical that binds to microbes carrying out a particular function—with a method that isolated these cells from their complex community.
High fidelity simulations enabled by high-performance computing will allow for unprecedented predictive power of molecular level processes that are not amenable to experimental measurement.
A poem inspired by radioactive tank waste—“Can a Scientist Dream it Alone?”—was awarded first place in the Department of Energy’s Poetry of Science Art Contest.
A new discovery by PNNL researchers has illuminated a previously unknown key mechanism that could inform the development of new, more effective catalysts for abating NOx emissions from combustion-engines burning diesel or low carbon fuel.
