Data Scientist Fixes His Sights on Speeding Up Drug Discovery
Scientists are using artificial intelligence and powerful computing to sculpt new molecules in an effort to treat disease.
Designing Microbe Factories for Sustainable Chemicals
Scientists have devised a way to engineer yeast to produce sustainable, eco-friendly commodity chemicals using computing power as a guide.
Microbial Community Simulations Go Big
High fidelity simulations enabled by high-performance computing will allow for unprecedented predictive power of molecular level processes that are not amenable to experimental measurement.
Keeping First Responders Safe
When two powerful earthquakes rocked southern California earlier this month, officials’ attention focused, understandably, on safety. How many people were injured? Were buildings up to code? How good are we at predicting earthquakes?
ACS Fall 2023
The annual fall meeting for the American Chemical Society brings together thousands of chemistry professionals to share ideas and advance scientific and technical knowledge.
At PNNL, AI Is Accelerating the U.S. Bioeconomy
Predicting how organisms’ characteristics respond to not only their genes, but also their environments (a nascent field called predictive phenomics), is extraordinarily challenging. Researchers at PNNL are using AI to tackle that challenge.
Establishing Ethical Nanobiotechnology
PNNL’s wide-ranging report maps the current nanobiotechnology landscape, flags potential concerns, and details the need for an organizing body to coordinate currently disparate disciplines.
Regional Science Bowl Tests Knowledge and Adaptability
High school students from across Washington State competed in the Pacific Northwest Regional Science Bowl, hosted online by PNNL, for a chance to advance to the national competition in May.
