Rotational Hammer Riveting, developed by PNNL, joins dissimilar materials quickly without preheating rivets. The friction-based riveting enables use of lightweight magnesium rivets and also works on aluminum and speeds manufacturing.
IDREAM study characterizes chemical species and mechanisms that control aluminum salt and mineral crystallization for nuclear waste retrieval, processing.
PNNL’s Mike Hochella receives Geochemical Society’s Patterson Award and ACS Geochemistry medal for discovery of toxic particles produced during coal combustion.
A discovery from PNNL and Washington State University could help reduce the amount of expensive material needed to treat vehicle exhaust by making the most of every precious atom.
Weber recently shared his knowledge of catalysis in a perspective for the Boudart Special Issue of the Journal of Catalysis and a News and Views article for Nature Sustainability.
