PNNL, OHSU Work Together to Reveal Key Brain Switch
The structure of a fundamental electrical switch in the brain has been revealed, thanks to PNNL researchers working together with counterparts at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).
Red Light, Green Light: Protein Signaling Illuminated
PNNL researchers have devised a way to measure and distinguish tiny amounts of phosphorylated proteins, an approach that could be used in research to help treat diseases such as diabetes and cancer.
PNNL’s Miniature Tags Track Eel and Lamprey Migration
Three PNNL fish researchers recently published a video journal article on how to properly implant miniature acoustic tags in juvenile Pacific lamprey and American eel and how the tags could benefit migration.
New Estimating Tool Providing Catalyst Cost Information
PNNL and National Renewable Energy Laboratory have partnered on a first-of-its-kind tool that estimates costs of catalysts.
Virtual Reality for High-Impact Learning
PNNL creates immersive software experiences to meet a variety of challenges. One such challenge in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is providing quality computer science education for all students.
Forecasting Book Features Voisin As An Editor
Nathalie Voisin, a water resources engineer, served as a section editor for a newly published book on hydrometeorological forecasting.
Going to Bat for Bats… with Tags
PNNL researchers are developing and evaluating bat tagging and tracking tools that will help design solutions to protect the bat population from wind turbines.
New Insights from Old Glass
How might getting old—really old—affect the glass waste form chosen to immobilize radioactive waste at the Hanford Site in southeastern Washington state? Researchers are seeking answers from walls containing ancient glass in Europe. These walls, known as hillforts, are defense structures that date as far back as the Bronze Age. The researchers progress is the cover story in the May 2016 American Ceramic Society Bulletin.
PNNL Team Awarded Best Paper of 2018 by Emission Control Science and Technology
Editors of the journal Emission Control Science and Technology deemed “Coating Distribution in a Commercial SCR Filter” Best Paper in 2018. The authors include PNNL's Mark Stewart, Carl Justin Kamp, Feng Gao, Yilin Wang, and Mark Engelhard.
New Technique Sees Bacterial Growth Quicker
Researchers at PNNL have developed a patent-pending technique for a faster and improved way to count bacteria and measure their growth, without killing the sample, by using a white light interferometer.
