In soil, microbes produce and consume methane. Using a technique called pool dilution, researchers can separate the rate of methane production and consumption from the net rate.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers developed a patented, nearly non-destructive approach, known as liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry, to analyze nuclear samples.
Contributions from researchers across Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) were recently recognized in the preliminary findings of a Secretary of Energy Advisory Board (SEAB) report.
