PNNL's Zdenek Dohnálek has been elected as a fellow of the American Vacuum Society for his catalysis research that enables renewable energy.

Scientists are taking their cues from fungi in the digestive tracts of cows, goats and sheep in the search for new ways to create sustainable fuels and medicines.

A genetic modification in fungi is more common than has been thought, offering scientists a new tool as they explore the use of fungi to convert biomass to fuels, chemicals and enzymes.

PNNL is collaborating with three small businesses to address technical challenges concerning hydrogen for fuel cell cars, bio-coal and nanomaterial manufacturing.

PNNL scientists have developed a system to convert methane into an energy-rich substance that can be used as the basis for biofuels and even feed for cows that create the gas in the first place.

At the center of many research teams are women — scientists and engineers who chase mystery and replace it with discoveries.

Scientists have learned more about how molds become cellular factories that can synthesize a range of diverse products.

Using a natural catalyst from bacteria for inspiration, researchers have now reported the fastest synthetic catalysts to date for hydrogen production-- producing 45 million hydrogen molecules per second.

PNNL is leading a new, approximately $6 million project to develop a new streamlined process to quickly pare down heaps of algae species into just a few that hold the most promise for making biofuel.

PNNL is helping to create open-access power grid datasets for use in testing new grid technologies.
