PNNL Lab fellow and Earth scientist Nik Qafoku earns highest recognition from the Soil Science Society of America.

Researchers trained deep neural networks to accurately predict microbial interactions captured by fluorescence microscopy.

By studying discrete functional components of the soil microbiome at high resolution, researchers obtained a more complete picture of soil diversity compared to analysis of the entire soil community.

Six months into a pandemic that has claimed more than 570,000 lives worldwide, scores of PNNL scientists are engaged in dozens of projects in the fight against COVID-19.

Researchers have developed a new technique to visualize the activity and distribution of enzymes that mobilize phosphate around plant roots.

Accurate identification of metabolites, and other small chemicals, in biological and environmental samples has historically fallen short when using traditional methods.

A new study using proteogenomics to compare cancerous tissue with normal fallopian tube samples advances insights about the molecular machinery that underlies ovarian cancer.

Deepika Malhotra, an organic chemist at PNNL, will lend her expertise to help shape the content and quality of Pollutants a new, interdisciplinary, open access, journal focusing on a range of environmental science research.

Researchers have identified two processes responsible for fracturing rock at lower pressures for geothermal energy production using PNNL’s fracturing fluid, StimuFrac™.

The researchers treated human pancreatic islets with substances produced by the body and thought to be involved in the diabetes disease process.

The Soil Science Society of America presents Nik Qafoku with the 2019 Jackson Award for contributions in soil chemistry and mineralogy—ranging from agricultural fertilizer efficiency in Albania to soil contaminant transport at Hanford.

Researchers at PNNL are developing a new class of acoustically active nanomaterials designed to improve the high-resolution tracking of exploratory fluids injected into the subsurface. These could improve subsurface geophysical monitoring.
