PNNL staff scientist selected as a guest editor for a special issue titled “Ligand-Metal Complementarity in Rare Earth and Actinide Chemistry,” in the well-known journal Inorganic Chemistry.
A new study examines the effect of peptoid sequences on the mechanisms and kinetics of their two-dimensional assembly on mica surfaces and how molecular interactions alter assembly kinetics.
A new study demonstrates a hybrid model that can simulate part of a system at the molecular scale and other parts at larger scales in a computationally efficient manner, providing greater simulation flexibility.
A PNNL Deep Vadose Zone Program publication that shows ferrihydrite helps protect groundwater is featured on the cover of ACS Earth and Space Chemistry.
New research investigating water-lean solvents for carbon dioxide capture identifies the unique chemistry possible with their use, may lead to new design principles that move beyond single carbon capture.
Long-range electron transfer reactions play important roles in many chemical and biochemical processes. A new study demonstrates that a common organic host molecule can behave like an alkali metal in long-range electron transfer reactions.
Andrew White goes back to his alma mater, Georgia Tech, as young alumni keynote speaker for the Sustainability Showcase, part of the university’s larger Sustainable Development Goals Action & Awareness Week.
In a study off the West Coast, researchers find that although seabirds generally soar underneath the height of possible future wind turbine blades, more work is being done to fully understand seabird flight behavior.
Mahon joined the advisory committee of the Pacific Offshore Wind Consortium and the external advisory panel for the Ocean and Resources Engineering department at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa.
Twinned nanocrystals have unique physical and chemical properties, a variety of which are detailed by a new study. These findings can help guide future efforts in controlling twinning and detwinning in gold nanoparticles.
Practical decontamination of industrial wastewater depends on energy-efficient separations. This study explored using ionic liquids as part of the process, enabling efficient electrochemical separation from aqueous solutions.
Three PNNL-affiliated researchers have been named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest multidisciplinary scientific society.
