Scientists have witnessed the birth of atmospheric ice clouds, creating ice cloud crystals in the laboratory and then taking images of the process through a microscope.

PNNL part of new institute aimed at improving efficiency and productivity in chemical manufacturing industries by 20 percent in five years.

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.

Oil spills could be cleaned up in the icy, rough waters of the Arctic with a chemically modified sawdust material that absorbs up to five times its weight in oil and stays afloat for at least four months.

PNNL's Morris Bullock and Jud Virden selected as fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for achievements that advance science and its applications.

PNNL's Xue Bin Wang has been elected to the rank of fellow of the American Physical Society for his contributions in condensed phase chemical physics.
