A New Approach to Enhance Transferability and Mutual Benefit of Research Outcomes
ICON science is a Department of Energy-developed framework to enhance scientific outcomes via more intentional design of research efforts across all domains of science.
Disturbance Legacies Shape Coastal Forest Soil Stability
Soil transplant experiment gives new insights into coastal forest resilience, rising seas, and increasing storms.
Teaching Reactions How to Navigate
At PNNL, scientists have mapped the reaction that turns wind-generated electricity into fuel and the amount of energy needed for each step.
Shoving Protons Around
Dr. Morris Bullock and Dr. Monte Helm reviewed the catalysis research at the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis, where Bullock is the director, in a recent article in Accounts of Chemical Research.
Two Great Catalysts that Work Great Together
Generating power without gasoline, diesel, or coal could change our nation's energy and security landscape. However, replacing technologies that use fossil fuel with ones that require rare metals is unsustainable.
How to Store Sunlight on a Tight Energy Budget: Add More Protons
Making hydrogen economically demands a quick, efficient reaction. Creating that reaction demands a catalyst. CME scientists found that a proton and water-packed environment lets the catalyst work 50 times faster—without added energy.
No Catalyst Is an Island
Quickly, reliably turning wind energy into fuel means looking beyond the catalyst to its foundation, according to a recent study from the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis.
