Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion (ShAPE) imparts significantly more deformation compared to conventional extrusion. The latest ShAPE system at PNNL, ShAPEshifter, is a purpose-built machine designed for maximum configurability.
PNNL scientist James Stegen and an international team of collaborators recently published a comprehensive review of variably inundated ecosystems (VIEs).
In the search for rare physics events, extremely pure materials are essential. A partnership between PNNL and Ultramet has led to tungsten with low contamination from other elements.
PNNL researchers have published their paper, “Introducing Molecular Hypernetworks for Discovery in Multidimensional Metabolomics Data,” in the Journal of Proteome Research.
Ampcera has an exclusive licensing agreement with PNNL to commercially develop and license a new battery material for applications such as vehicles and personal electronics.
A recent paper published in Science sheds light on how aerosols—tiny particles in the air—released by industrial activities can trigger downstream snowfall events.
NASA has awarded $2.5 million to the BioS-ENDURES consortium, led by the University of Washington and including WSU and PNNL, to advance space life sciences research supporting human health in space and Earth-based applications.
The demand for energy is growing—and so is the technology supporting it. However, future development of power generation technologies could be affected by a key factor: material supply.
Research that modeled increased heat pump adoption alongside climate change impacts in Texas showed that high-efficiency heat pumps buffer the strain that electric heating might put on the power grid.
PNNL's McDearis and Rod designed a new device—a porous soil stake—that, once installed, enables repeated sampling of a specific soil site at multiple depths, without further disrupting the soil.
