Theoretical work shows that an important natural iron source can be described as a nanoscale composite of different, but experimentally indistinguishable, structures.
Researchers found that increasing restrictions on nonrenewable groundwater use for irrigation shifts agricultural production from western states to the east.
Developing a new approach for defining energy-water-agriculture linkages highlights U.S. regions where focusing on individual sectors may miss cross-sectoral impacts.
Molecular self-assembly expert Chun-Long Chen describes the challenges and opportunities in bio-inspired nanomaterials in a special issue of Chemical Reviews.
PNNL convened a virtual meeting with labor leaders, utilities and companies who are leading innovation in clean energy regarding workforce needs. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee provided keynote remarks.
New building energy codes could reduce utility bills by $138 billion and prevent 900 million metric tons of CO2 emissions coming from buildings. Now, they will be easier to adopt.
Two PNNL interns are behind recent innovation in real-time testing and continuous monitoring for pH and the concentration of chemicals of interest in chemical solutions; outcomes have applicability not only to nuclear, but to industries.
Developed at PNNL, Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion, or ShAPE™, uses significantly less energy and can deliver components like wire, tubes and bars 10 times faster than conventional extrusion, with no sacrifice in quality.
Simulations accurately predicted storm cloud shield timing and growth, but not rain intensities, for over 300 tracked storm complexes in a storm-generating hotspot in Argentina.
