Alain Bonneville, a geophysicist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, will present details on the muon detector and the comparative field tests at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Francisco. His talk is Thursday, December 15, 2016 at …
Water has many unusual properties, such as its solid form, ice, being able to float in liquid water, and they get weirder below its freezing point. Supercooled water — below freezing but still a liquid — is notoriously difficult to study. Some researchers …
Two staff members at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have been elected to the rank of fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. AAAS is the world's largest multidisciplinary scientific …
Lowly sawdust, the sawmill waste that's sometimes tossed onto home garage floors to soak up oil spilled by amateur mechanics, could receive some new-found respect thanks to science. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest …
Scientists from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will discuss their research on more than 100 topics at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco next week. PNNL scientists will discuss their …
Veteran education professional Evangelina Galvan Shreeve has been named the new director of STEM Education and Outreach at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, effective Jan. 1. She will replace Jeff Estes, who retires Dec. …
The Earth's soil is a very active but poorly understood ecosystem right beneath our feet. The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has two ongoing research efforts exploring the properties of this important — but oft- …
A new study predicts that warming temperatures will contribute to the release into the atmosphere of carbon that has long been locked up securely in the coldest reaches of our planet. Soil and climate expert Katherine Todd-Brown, a scientist at the …
Intense storms have become more frequent and longer-lasting in the Great Plains and Midwest in the last 35 years. What has fueled these storms? The temperature difference between the Southern Great Plains and the Atlantic Ocean produces winds that carry …
Genetics and birthplace have a big effect on the make-up of the microbial community in the gut, according to research published Nov. 28 in the journal Nature Microbiology. The findings by a team of scientists from the Department of Energy's Pacific …
Six researchers with the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are among the most highly cited scientists in the world. The PNNL researchers are included on the 2016 Highly Cited Researcher list from Clarivate Analytics (formerly …
Catalysts known as zeolites are vital to fuel production and other processes. Coke deposits in zeolites are a costly problem in petroleum refinement and in petrochemical production. "Understanding coke molecules in zeolites will provide broad benefits …
In fairy tales, magical spells can turn people and things to stone. In a desert in southeastern Washington state, it's a chemical reaction that converts carbon dioxide into stone. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National …
Tools that track underground contaminants and speed carbon capture technology development are among the 100 most innovative scientific breakthroughs of the year, R&D Magazine has announced. The magazine named two technologies from the Department of …
It may sound like science fiction, but wastewater treatment plants across the United States may one day turn ordinary sewage into biocrude oil, thanks to new research at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The technology, …
The state's three largest public research institutions have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, which expresses the intent of the parties to increase research collaborations on complex challenges and provide additional research and training …
Microbes have a remarkable ability to adapt to the extreme conditions in fracking wells, according to a study published in the October issue of Nature Microbiology. Scientists led by researchers at Ohio State University found that microbes actually consume …
A new agreement between the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Oregon will allow scientists to obtain joint appointments that bridge the two research institutions. The agreement paves the way for greater …
Nitrogen is essential for life, but nature's main source of nitrogen is the gas found in our atmosphere — a gas that does not react easily with other elements. Some specialized bacteria turn the air's nitrogen molecules into ammonia so that it can …
With each swish of a tail, scientists now have a tool that could study the movements of fish throughout their entire lives. The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory developed a self-charging tracking tag for fish behavioral …
