Analysis by the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is helping inform energy efficiency discussions in Hawaii. The Aloha State is considering upgrading its building codes to the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code, …
Scientists have found adding a pinch of something new to a battery's electrolyte gives the energy storage devices more juice per charge than today's commonly used rechargeable batteries. New, early-stage research shows adding a small amount of the …
Although invisible to our telescopes, dark matter is known by its gravitational effects throughout the universe. The nature of dark matter is unknown, but the consensus of the astrophysics and particle physics communities is that the dark matter is …
Two researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have been elected to membership in the prestigious National Academy of Engineering. Ruby Leung and Johannes Lercher are among the 106 new members elected worldwide to …
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are more likely to see dramatic shifts in the make-up of the community of microbes in their gut than healthy people, according to the results of a study published online Feb. 13 in Nature Microbiology. While …
A tool to assess and address cyber and physical security issues and an inexpensive way to create a microscope out of a cell phone are being used by businesses and individuals, thanks to teams who worked to move them out of the laboratory and into the …
Constant jostling for precious commodities — money, oil, high-speed Internet access, our morning coffee — shapes the world we live in. It's no different for microbes, where scientists have found more evidence that vitamin B12, a substance produced by …
One reason we can't bottle summer sunshine and save the solar energy for rainy days is that we don't have an efficient way to store it. Nature stores energy in chemical bonds, like when plants photosynthesize our food. Researchers are trying to …
A dozen glass cylinders containing a potential payload of bright green algae are exposed to hundreds of multi-colored lights, which provide all of sunlight's natural hues. The tiny LEDs brighten and dim to mimic the outdoors' constantly changing …
Cheri Collins Wideman, a senior executive with experience in the chemical manufacturing, energy and food industries, has been named director of Human Resources at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Wideman joins the Department of Energy laboratory …
An analysis of the strongest tropical storms, known as super typhoons, in the western Pacific over the last half-century reveals that they are intensifying. Higher global temperatures have enhanced global rainfall, particularly over the tropical oceans. …
A dozen intriguing images that reveal innovative scientific research at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will be on display in Olympia and Seattle through early April. The Science as Art images depict advances and discoveries that are being used to …
Many calendars include pictures that represent the seasons throughout the course of the year. Snowy barns, fields of wildflowers and a summer sunsets make regular appearances. The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's 2017 …
Scientists have witnessed the birth of atmospheric ice clouds, creating ice cloud crystals in the laboratory and then taking images of the process through a microscope, essentially documenting the very first steps of cloud formation. The team witnessed a …
Getting more production output from a chemical operation or performing the same process more efficiently in a much smaller footprint could save U.S. manufacturers billions of dollars and create new jobs. It's known as process intensification and two …
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 …
