Microbiome and soil chemistry characterization at long-term bioenergy research sites challenges idea that switchgrass increases carbon accrual in surface soils of marginal lands.

Project manager Larry Morgan has spent half a century at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory—marking one of the longest tenures in the laboratory’s history.

As COVID-19 was limiting in-person contact, halting travel, and creating additional barriers, researchers at PNNL were working to find solutions on how they could still get work done while establishing new safety protocols.

PNNL’s Fred Morris was awarded the National Nuclear Security Administration Administrator Lifetime Achievement and Distinguished Service Silver awards.

Two PNNL researchers, one a world-leading authority on microorganisms, the other an expert on coastal ecosystem restoration, have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Clarivate Analytics recently unveiled its 2020 list of Highly Cited Researchers. The list named 17 PNNL scientists for their influential and oft-referenced work.

Rey Suarez was the keynote speaker at the Preparatory Commission of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization’s Specialized Technical Meeting on Preventive and Predicative Maintenance of the International Monitoring System.

This committee represents the country’s soil science community in the International Union of Soil Sciences, advises The National Academies, and communicates with professional societies and organizations.

Brian Milbrath, a physicist in PNNL’s National Security Directorate, was named a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

In recognition of Nuclear Science Week on Oct. 19-23, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reflects on more than half a century of advancing nuclear science for the nation’s energy, environment, and security frontiers.

PNNL recognizes researchers during National Postdoc Appreciation Week.

Radiation from natural sources in the environment can limit the performance of superconducting quantum bits, known as qubits. The discovery has implications for quantum computing and for the search for dark matter.

A cadre of physical scientists, engineers and computing experts at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is poised to participate in the launch of three new DOE Office of Science-sponsored quantum information science research centers.

Researchers performed controlled laboratory experiments using river sediment to test organic matter thermodynamics as a mechanism of metabolic control in areas where groundwater and surface water mix.

Researchers performed a combined analysis of metabolic and gene co-expression networks to explore how the soil microbiome responds to changes in moisture and nutrient conditions.

Researchers trained deep neural networks to accurately predict microbial interactions captured by fluorescence microscopy.

By studying discrete functional components of the soil microbiome at high resolution, researchers obtained a more complete picture of soil diversity compared to analysis of the entire soil community.

The PNNL chemist is leading a joint effort to study circadian rhythms and the gut microbiome.

After years of planning, building, and calibration, researchers at the Belle II accelerator experiment in Japan have published their first physics paper.

Accurate identification of metabolites, and other small chemicals, in biological and environmental samples has historically fallen short when using traditional methods.
