Researchers from the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory are collecting soil cores as part of the 1000 Soils Research Pilot to develop a database of molecular-level data from belowground ecosystems.

New data analysis approach gives researchers deeper understanding of microbial ecology and evolution.

Study reveals importance of accounting for micrometer scale distribution of substrates to predict carbon emissions from soil.

PNNL scientists discover new soil viruses across different climates.

PNNL has developed seaweed-based inks and materials for 2-D and 3-D printing that can be used for a multitude of applications in the art, medical, STEM, and other fields.

Soil moisture influences both the activity of soil DNA viruses, as well as the composition and abundance of RNA viruses.

Knowing which bacteria in a community are involved with carbon cycling could help scientists predict how microbial carbon storage and release could influence future climate dynamics.

A shoe scanner may allow people passing through security screening to keep their shoes on. PNNL built the scanner based on the same technology it used to develop airport scanners. It's licensed to Liberty Defense.

Microbiome and soil chemistry characterization at long-term bioenergy research sites challenges idea that switchgrass increases carbon accrual in surface soils of marginal lands.
