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.
New ARPA-E funding in enabling PNNL to develop two different technologies that could one day enable cars to run on biofuel made from seaweed grown in the open ocean.
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.
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.
A genetic modification in fungi is more common than has been thought, offering scientists a new tool as they explore the use of fungi to convert biomass to fuels, chemicals and enzymes.
PNNL is collaborating with three small businesses to address technical challenges concerning hydrogen for fuel cell cars, bio-coal and nanomaterial manufacturing.
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.
