Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is part of a continuing National Science Foundation (NSF) team investigating the environmental impact of nanoparticles at the molecular level.

Researchers from PNNL have helped colleagues at OHSU identify lipid molecules required for Zika infection in human cells. The specific lipids involved could also be a clue to why the virus primarily infects brain tissue.

PNNL atomic-scale research shows how certain metal oxide catalysts behave during alkanol dehydration, an important class of oxygen-removal reactions for biomass conversion.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science bestows one of its highest honors on James De Yoreo, distinguished PNNL materials scientist.

Researchers from 25 institutions around the country, including PNNL, are working to find out how exercise changes the molecular makeup of our cells to generate health benefits.

After 50 years in science and on the eve of retirement, Laboratory Fellow Karin Rodland, a cancer cell biologist at PNNL, is working on experiments she has dreamed about for decades.

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.

PNNL quantum algorithm theorist and developer Nathan Wiebe is applying ideas from data science and gaming hacks to quantum computing

Artificial intelligence helps researchers identify metabolites, the small molecules that underlie life.

PNNL scientists are on the front lines fighting against biological threats through early detection, diagnosis, and prevention strategies.

Weak forces are strong enough to align semiconductor nanoparticles; new understanding may help make more useful materials

A new study focusing on the proteins involved in endometrial cancer, commonly known as uterine cancer, offers insights about which patients will need aggressive treatment and which won’t.

Scientists explain why some molecules spontaneously arrange themselves into five slices of nanoscale pie

PNNL scientists Richard (Dick) Smith and Ljiljana (Lili) Paša-Tolić are recognized by The Analytical Scientist in its 2019 Power List as two of 2019’s top 100 minds in analytical science.

Postdoc Bharat Gwalani’s pioneering spirit crosses several scientific disciplines and he climbs mountains too

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.

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.

Jaehun Chun spoke at a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine open data-gathering session on separation science.
