Think of the pressure change you feel when an elevator zips you up multiple floors in a tall building. Imagine how you'd feel if that elevator carried you all the way up to the top of Mt. Everest — in the blink of an eye. That's similar to what …
A materials scientist at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been elected to the rank of Fellow in the Materials Research Society. Jim De Yoreo was recognized for his "pioneering research in the field of bio- …
A 2014 update to a detailed product guide listing biodetection technologies and sampling products is now available. The updated digest provides a comprehensive compilation of commercially available detection devices and products published to help first …
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has joined a consortium of automakers, energy companies, government laboratories, and others that aims to accelerate the rollout of an infrastructure for hydrogen-powered vehicles and …
A new analysis of satellite data reveals a link between dust in North Africa and West Asia and stronger monsoons in India. The study shows that dust in the air absorbs sunlight west of India, warming the air and strengthening the winds carrying moisture …
By adjusting water discharges in ways designed to boost salmon productivity, officials at a dam in central Washington were able to more than triple the numbers of juvenile salmon downstream of the dam over a 30-year period, according to a study published …
Researchers from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will exhibit their work at the 2014 Energy Innovation Summit of high-impact energy research funded by DOE's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, or ARPA-E. The …
Scientists have created a microbattery that packs twice the energy compared to current microbatteries used to monitor the movements of salmon through rivers in the Pacific Northwest and around the world. The battery, a cylinder just slightly larger than a …
Iris Anderson, from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has been recognized with the Tri-City Regional Chamber of Commerce's annual ATHENA leadership award. Anderson is the manager of financial operations for the …
In biology, a protein's shape is key to understanding how it causes disease or toxicity. Researchers who use X-rays to take snapshots of proteins need a billion copies of the same protein stacked and packed into a neat crystal. Now, scientists using …
The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been recognized for creating 3-D headset display technology that could improve the sight of soldiers in dark battlefields and gamers immersed in virtual reality. The Federal Laboratory Consortium announced …
Construction on a new energy research facility at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory campus will start this April. The project, valued at approximately $10 million, will build a facility that will house a broad variety of …
Two global experts in advanced energy systems have joined the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to lead research related to the smart grid, smart buildings and more. Former Cisco chief scientist Jeffrey Taft is now PNNL's …
China can build its way to a more energy efficient future — one house, apartment and retail store at a time — by improving the rules regulating these structures, according to a study by the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. …
A Massachusetts startup has signed a license agreement with Battelle to commercialize battery technology that can help store large amounts of renewable energy and improve the reliability of the nation's power grid. The license with Lowell, Mass.-based …
Researchers simulating how certain bacteria run electrical current through tiny molecular wires have discovered a secret Nature uses for electron travel. The results are key to understanding how the bacteria do chemistry in the ground, and will help …
It's known that electric vehicles could travel longer distances before needing to charge and more renewable energy could be saved for a rainy day if lithium-sulfur batteries can just overcome a few technical hurdles. Now, a novel design for a critical …
Researchers have developed a way to microscopically view battery electrodes while they are bathed in wet electrolytes, mimicking realistic conditions inside actual batteries. While life sciences researchers regularly use transmission electron microscopy to …
Engineers have created a continuous chemical process that produces useful crude oil minutes after they pour in harvested algae — a verdant green paste with the consistency of pea soup. The research by engineers at the Department of Energy's Pacific …
Washington State LASER is being recognized for its longstanding leadership in education in our state with the esteemed 2013 Golden Apple Award presented by KCTS 9. The 2013 Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Education celebrates educators, programs and …
