Having established the largest non-industrial catalysis research and development effort in the U.S., a group of scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is making changes to better focus on key scientific problems …
By adding the right amount of heat, researchers have developed a method that improves the electrical capacity and recharging lifetime of sodium ion rechargeable batteries, which could be a cheaper alternative for large-scale uses such as storing energy on …
Two scientists from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will receive Early Career Research Awards from DOE to advance research involving underground contamination and computer modeling. Each researcher will receive grants …
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, three federal agencies and the Tri-Cities community celebrated the completion of the largest construction project in PNNL's 46-year history at a ceremony today on the PNNL campus. The Capability Replacement …
High oil prices and environmental and economic security concerns have triggered interest in using algae-derived oils as an alternative to fossil fuels. But growing algae — or any other biofuel source — can require a lot of water. However, a new study …
Builders, architects, agencies and volume buyers in search of more energy efficient windows at cost-effective prices will soon have additional options available to them with the expansion of the Department of Energy's High Performance Windows Volume …
Battelle has granted an exclusive license for a technology that will help clothing shoppers find better fitting clothes easily and quickly, as well as assess their overall fitness. Unique Solutions Limited plans to revolutionize the apparel industry by …
Two technologies developed at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory were recognized by R&D Magazine today as among the year's most innovative scientific and technological breakthroughs. PNNL's winning …
Builders, contractors, architects, schools and universities, lodging, public and senior housing, 2nd weatherization and public agencies in search of more energy efficient windows at cost-effective prices now have additional options available to them as the …
A new computer model of blue-green algae can predict which of the organism's genes are central to capturing energy from sunlight and other critical processes. Described in a paper published in the journal Molecular BioSystems , the model could …
Bacteria called Shewanella can use metal ions in place of oxygen to live and grow. In the process, Shewanella can transform some metals and trap them in minerals, a useful skill for engineers who want to stop radioactive or toxic metals from migrating in …
Fungi play key roles in nature and are valued for their great importance in industry. Consider citric acid, a key additive in several foods and pharmaceuticals produced on a large-scale basis for decades with the help of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus …
Though considered a promising large-scale energy storage device, the vanadium redox battery's use has been limited by its inability to work well in a wide range of temperatures and its high cost. But new research indicates that modifying the battery…
