Organic matter found in vast quantities in oxygen-starved floodplains would yield only minimal energy for hungry microorganisms, which spurn the meal, researchers show in a study in Nature Geoscience.

Small particles of pollution and dust make clouds brighter, and now scientists have figured out a way to better use data to improve our understanding of how this process affects the planet's climate.

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

High concentrations of tiny pollution particles can invigorate cloud formation and boost snowfall on mountains, according to a new study.

A new window on the Arctic region is opening up, thanks to a new unmanned aerial system that has taken to the skies.

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.

Rick Corley has been honored for his work modeling the full chain of human respiration, from organ, to tissue, to cell, and down to individual molecule.

The rate of plant photosynthesis globally has blossomed this century, according to a new study in the journal Nature by a scientist at the Joint Global Change Research Institute and his colleagues.
