Symposium explores smart city evolution
In November, Northeastern University Seattle (NU-Seattle) hosted "Smart Cities: Critical Infrastructure Protection" to explore technology and policy opportunities and challenges facing the smart city evolution.
Haynie awarded prestigious honor for contributions to Vietnamese radiological source security
Vietnam's Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) Deputy Minister Pham Cong Tac awarded the Medal for the Cause of Science and Technology to PNNL's Todd Haynie.
Plutonium Experiment Opens New Research Possibilities
Researchers used novel methods to safely create and analyze plutonium samples. The approaches could prove influential in future studies of the radioactive material, benefitting research in legacy, national security and nuclear fuels.
Cooling Off Warming Trends in the Arctic
Study shows that emissions from trans-Arctic shipping could increase clouds, cooling the atmosphere and surface.
Tracking Injected Fluids: A Seismic Contrast Agent Breakthrough
Researchers at PNNL are developing a new class of acoustically active nanomaterials designed to improve the high-resolution tracking of exploratory fluids injected into the subsurface. These could improve subsurface geophysical monitoring.
Imaging Goes Underground at the Hanford site
"It's sort of like using infrared goggles to see heat signatures in the dark, except this is underground." PNNL and CHPRC implemented a state-of-the-art approach to monitor the process of remediating residual uranium at Hanford's 300 Area.
Applying a New Multi-Scale Aerosol Model
Representing aerosols on 1-kilometer cloud scale within a multi-scale modeling framework yields simulation improvement.
Organic Particles Modulate Soot Mixing in the Atmosphere
New research shows how the viscosity of organic particles affects the mixing state of soot and alters its warming or cooling potential.
