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.
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.
PNNL is honoring its postdoctoral researchers as part of the fourteenth annual National Postdoc Appreciation Week with seven profiles of postdocs from around the Laboratory.
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.
Neutrino mass, a crucial piece of many unresolved physics puzzles, may one day be revealed through a novel measurement system that has just proven its mettle: Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy.
Corinne Fuller has been named the new co-director of the Bioproducts Institute, a research collaboration between Washington State University and PNNL, as of July 2023.
This study profiled the 24-hour rhythmicity in bile salt hydrolase enzyme activity using simple fluorescence assay and the results showed that this rhythmicity is influenced by feeding patterns of the host.
New research from PNNL and Washington State University collaborators connects the microbiome in the gut to circadian rhythms, suggesting a role for the microbiome as an internal regulator.
A PNNL innovation uses steam to recover heat from the high-temperature reactor effluent in the HTL process, substantially reducing the propensity for fouling and potentially reducing costs.
PNNL Biomedical Scientist Geremy Clair has taken on new roles as an editor for two journals; Frontiers In Cellular And Infection Microbiology and Frontiers In Molecular Biosciences.
A process developed at PNNL that converts biomass and waste into a chemical intermediate or into gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel is available for commercial licensing.
Mowei Zhou, a chemist with the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, is speaking at the ACS spring conference on his latest protein discoveries for a plant that could transform biofuels production.
IDREAM researchers assess the potential of photon-in/photon-out XFEL techniques to explore early time reaction steps and ultimately improve nuclear waste processing strategies.
