It turns out that bile is a lot more dynamic than you might think. One of the biggest factors affecting bile, which is very important to our ability to absorb nutrients, is our diet. But another is the make-up of the community of microbes in the human gut. …
Small dust particles emitted from the land surface pack an out-sized punch when it comes to influencing rainfall and the water cycle, according to a presentation this week by Ruby Leung of the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National …
When radioactive material is intercepted at the border, officials need scientific support to determine what it is, if it's dangerous to first responders or the public, and if it's illegal to possess. In the latter case, investigators need clues …
A trio of scientists from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory presented new findings about their research on carbon capture Monday, dominating a session on the topic at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society. …
Magnesium — the lightest of all structural metals — has a lot going for it in the quest to make ever lighter cars and trucks that go farther on a tank of fuel or battery charge. Magnesium is 75 percent lighter than steel, 33 percent lighter than aluminum …
The heads of three of the world's largest chemistry organizations came together Sunday at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in Washington, D.C., to encourage better communication about science. Allison Campbell, president of ACS and …
When the contiguous United States' last total solar eclipse overshadowed the nation's Northwest corner nearly four decades ago, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory staff gathered early in the morning to experience it together. The eclipse reached …
As global temperatures continue to rise, droughts will become more frequent in many regions. A new study in the journal Nature has found that ecosystems are taking progressively longer to recover from droughts. Incomplete drought recovery may become the …
Energy Secretary Rick Perry will visit the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory today. This is the fifth national lab he's toured and has previously said the DOE labs collectively are America's crown jewels of science …
In the future, public health workers could monitor trends on social media to quickly identify a rise of influenza, depression or other health issues in a specific area, thanks to research at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National …
The same technology that enables soldiers to see in the dark can also help protect birds and bats near offshore wind turbines. Night vision goggles use thermal imaging, which captures infrared light that's invisible to the human eye. Now, researchers …
Jiwen Fan of the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been selected to receive a 2017 Early Career Research Program award from the U.S. Department of Energy. Fan is one of 57 recipients nationwide — including 21 at national …
Almost 200 scientists representing 12 countries came together at a recent conference to share insights into the world of the very small: microbes. From Aug. 1 to 3, researchers discussed microbial communities from across the globe. Some grow on teeth, …
Both businesses and homeowners are increasingly using distributed wind power thanks to innovative business models and other trends, according to a new report released today. The 2016 Distributed Wind Market Report offers the fifth annual analysis of …
