Chemist Wendy Shaw, a nationally recognized scientific leader, has been chosen to serve as the associate laboratory director for PNNL's Physical and Computational Sciences Directorate.
Three PNNL-affiliated researchers have been named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest multidisciplinary scientific society.
By combining state-of-the-art computational and experimental approaches, researchers have begun to resolve the effects of solvent molecules on electron transfer.
Former PNNL intern Michael Hewitt was recognized by DOE as an Outstanding Intern for the research he performed alongside PNNL physical chemist Dr. Grant Johnson.
A new review paper led by senior research scientist Chun-Long Chen and featured on the cover of Accounts of Chemical Research summarizes advances by PNNL scientists in developing sequence-defined peptoids.
Beginning in 2021, PNNL chemical physicist Bruce Kay begins a three-year term as an AVS trustee, part of a six-member committee responsible for overseeing the administration of student scholarships and major society awards.
First-ever measurements provide evidence that supercooled water exists in two distinct structures that co-exist and vary in proportion dependent on temperature.
PNNL researcher Bruce Kay has been elected to membership in the Washington State Academy of sciences and three other staff members have been elected to positions on the WSAS board of directors.
Working with researchers with Tokyo Tech's World Research Hub Initiative in Japan and Canada, Xantheas will combine laboratory methods with computational explorations to study the biological functions of serotonin and nicotine.
For the first time, researchers have measured the force that draws tiny crystals together and visualized how they swivel and align. Called van der Waals forces, the attraction provides insights into how crystals self-assemble, an activity t
Bo Peng, a Linus Pauling Fellow and molecular sciences researcher at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, was recognized at the Sanibel Symposium with the Löwdin Postdoctoral Associate Award.
At next week's American Chemical Society meeting, experts spanning a wide range of disciplines will get together to toss around ideas on technologies to capture the carbon dioxide.
Water is unlike other substances because its solid form — like this iceberg — is less dense than its liquid form — like this ocean. Scientists are studying other weird properties of water.
