PNNL scientists carve a path to profit from carbon capture by creating a system that efficiently captures CO2 and converts it into one of the world’s most widely used chemicals: methanol.

PNNL Biomedical Scientist Geremy Clair has taken on new roles as an editor for two journals; Frontiers In Cellular And Infection Microbiology and Frontiers In Molecular Biosciences.

PNNL’s contributions over the last year span scientific discovery, sustainable energy and national security.

Studying how microorganisms behave in space could facilitate farming in the final frontier and lead to better crops on Earth.

Organismal contribution and community interaction drive soil organic matter breakdown by microbes.

A new deep learning approach allows researchers to rapidly analyze three-dimensional representations of multi-component catalysts.

Where molybdenum dopants sit within catalytic material affects catalysis at a mechanistic level.

Using electrocatalysis offers a different path for reactions involving polar groups.

A new discovery simultaneously reduces the need for rare and expensive platinum and improves its ability to speed up economically important chemical reactions.

Identifying a novel gene function on soil viruses.

A PNNL research team has been recognized by the American Chemical Society with its Award for Affordable Green Chemistry.

From landfills to fill-ups: novel catalysts may make plastic upcycling cleaner and more cost-effective.

Microbes and viruses play key roles in carbon and nitrogen cycling in riverbed sediments.

The American Chemical Society Richland Section has been recognized by its national organization with the Best Overall Section Minority Affairs award for 2022.

Proteins from “auxiliary” genes in soil viruses play a role in the carbon cycle and climate, scientists have found.

Wendy Shaw begins an initial two-year appointment to the editorial advisory board of Sustainable Energy & Fuels.

Researchers isolated a molecular copper hydride monomer for the first time.

Plastic upcycling efficiently converts plastics to valuable commodity chemicals while using less of the precious metal ruthenium. The method could recycle waste plastic pollution into useful products, helping keep it out of landfills.

Read interviews with the new Laboratory fellows to learn about their contributions to their field, what drives them, and how their research is making the nation safer, greener, and more resilient.

Joint appointee Jenny Yang named an associate editor of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
