PNNL scientist Janet Jansson led scores of scientists who published in the journal Nature the most extensive snapshot ever of the vast microbial life on Earth.

Many of us are looking forward to next month's Apple Cup as the Cougars and Huskies battle for regional pigskin pride. At PNNL, however, we strive to bring these gridiron competitors together to collaborate on research and development.

PNNL scientists served as lead guest editors for a special issue of the Journal of Applied Radiation and Isotopes.

Researcher Kris Brandvold is hunting down the exact ways that microbes affect our bile and change its function in our body.

Scientist-detectives put themselves to the test.

The Multi-omics for Microbiomes conference focused on different approaches that let researchers paint better pictures of microbial communities.

Steve Short, a nuclear engineer at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has been selected as a fellow of the National Society of Professional Engineers.

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.

Garry Buchko is part of a team that has solved the structures of 1,000 proteins which enable pathogens to live, thrive and infect people.

Working with researchers with Tokyo Tech's World Research Hub Initiative in Japan and Canada, Xantheas will combine laboratory methods with computational explorations to study the biological functions of serotonin and nicotine.

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.

A new capability at PNNL will be able to replicate how nations process plutonium. Researchers will process small amounts of plutonium which they will analyze, using nuclear forensics techniques, to discover signatures.
