PNNL scientists are creating new ways to learn more about the vast sea of chemicals that haven't been identified—yet.

New research from PNNL and Washington State University collaborators connects the microbiome in the gut to circadian rhythms, suggesting a role for the microbiome as an internal regulator.

By mimicking nature, scientists make a breakthrough in breaking down wood.

The popular approach of organizing soil bacteria into fast- or slow-growing groups is problematic because most bacteria grow at comparable rates in soil.

Metabolomics analysis revealed differences in metabolome profiles for two distinct modes of fungal wood decay.

The ChemSpace Tool, when fully developed, is intended to divide chemical space into three subsets: the detectable space, the identifiable space, and the region that includes compounds that are not detectable or identifiable.

Methods review suggests ways to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to handle missing data when integrating two or more omics approaches.

COVID-19 infections at PNNL early in the pandemic were caused by a wide variety of viral sequences, according to a new analysis by Laboratory researchers.

Irradiated boehmite nanoplatelets form smaller aggregates and have a rougher surface than non-irradiated platelets.

SAGE is a high-efficiency genome integration strategy for bacteria that makes the stable introduction of new traits simple for newly discovered microbes.

PNNL’s Isabella van Rooyen leads the JOM special section on Additive Manufacturing for High Temperature Energy Systems.

PNNL chemist Christopher Anderton recently named president-elect of the Imaging Mass Spectrometry Society (IMSS). In this new position, he will help lead the merge of IMSS with a European-based society, currently underway.

Variations in burn severity are a key control on the chemical constituents of dissolved organic matter delivered to streams within a single burn perimeter.

Bobbie-Jo Webb-Robertson is a leader with a PhD in decision sciences & engineering systems from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and experience in managing complex scientific programs and line organizations. She assumed the role 3/13/23.

First-of-its-kind genomic catalog lends insight into previously unknown processes at the river’s edge.

A PNNL innovation uses steam to recover heat from the high-temperature reactor effluent in the HTL process, substantially reducing the propensity for fouling and potentially reducing costs.

PNNL welcomes new joint appointments to expand the research productivity and scientific impact of both PNNL and the university partners, broadening the base of expertise at each institution and helping to build interdisciplinary teams.

A new nano-optical bioimaging technology in development at PNNL enables researchers to watch climate-bellwether microbes exchange metabolites and other essential signals.

Department of Energy, Office of Science Director Asmeret Asefaw Berhe visited PNNL to learn about the Lab’s drive to conduct discovery science, commitment to science for an equitable future, and development of a diversified STEM workforce.

A multi-omics analysis provides the framework for gaining insights into the structure and function of microbial communities across multiple habitats on a planetary scale
