PNNL researchers are developing and evaluating bat tagging and tracking tools that will help design solutions to protect the bat population from wind turbines.
Researchers have come up with a new method for creating synthetic “colored” nanodiamonds, a step on the path to realization of quantum computing, which promises to solve problems far beyond the abilities of current supercomputers.
Mama and calf humpback whales—considered a vulnerable species that might be entangled in underwater equipment—star in a new animation video that depicts the marine mammals’ scale and movements relative to floating offshore wind farms.
A recent study pinpointed the reaction front where lithium (Li) dendrites can come into contact with cathode materials. It also detailed the Li propagation pathway and reaction steps that lead to cathode failure.
The stereo vision feature in ThermalTracker2 lets researchers see the exact position of birds and bats that could be affected by offshore wind turbines.
Imagine a hollow tube thousands of times smaller than a human hair. Now envision filthy water flowing through an array of such tubes, each designed to capture contaminants on the inside, with clean water emerging at the other end.
PNNL's ThermalTracker software analyzes video with night vision, the same technology that helps soldiers see in the dark, to help offshore wind power be bird- and bat-friendly.
America's use of distributed wind — which is wind power generated near where it will be used — continues to grow, according to the 2016 Distributed Wind Market Report.
