PNNL Researchers Contribute to Special Issue about Nanomaterial Safety
Biomedical scientist Brian Thrall co-edited the issue published in the journal NanoImpact. Three of the articles in the issue include multiple PNNL authors.
PNNL’s Vapor Detection Technology Named GeekWire’s ‘Innovation of the Year’
A technology that can quickly detect explosive vapors, deadly chemicals and illicit drugs with unparalleled accuracy has been named the 2020 Innovation of the Year by GeekWire, the Seattle-based technology news company.
On the Surface, Dominant Facets Get More Action
PNNL atomic-scale research shows how certain metal oxide catalysts behave during alkanol dehydration, an important class of oxygen-removal reactions for biomass conversion.
How Have Local Radiative Feedbacks Contributed to Polar Amplification since 1980?
PNNL scientists led a study to quantify radiative feedbacks using historical short-term climate simulations. These simulations can reproduce the observed warming and polar amplification.
