Morris Bullock, a Laboratory Fellow at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and director of the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis, a DOE Energy Frontier Research Center, was selected to receive the Royal Society of …
Viruses such as Ebola, West Nile and Influenza all have the potential to kill people they infect, but antiviral drugs either don't exist or are losing effectiveness. A new $18 million study led by pathobiologist Yoshihiro Kawaoka at the University of …
If you think keeping up with what's happening via Twitter, Facebook and other social media is like drinking from a fire hose, multiply that by 7 billion — and you'll have a sense of what Court Corley wakes up to every morning. Corley, a data …
Tri-Cities students at Delta and Kamiakin high schools are nearly finished building dozens of mini robots using a circuit board designed by Duane Balvage, a Pacific Northwest National Laboratory electrical technician. Balvage has volunteered as a guest …
Research conducted with a large new battery unveiled today in Oregon will help make the Northwest's and the nation's electric system smarter and more efficient, officials said at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Portland General Electric's 5-megawatt …
For the first time, researchers have found a particular kind of molecular switch in the food poisoning bacteria Salmonella Typhimurium under infection-like conditions. This switch, using a process called S-thiolation, appears to be used by the bacteria to …
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory honored more than 165 staff for their creation, development and commercialization of intellectual property at PNNL's annual Intellectual Property Commercialization Recognition & Rewards Program banquet. The …
An injection-molding method that can reduce costs and increase the use of titanium and other durable, lightweight and corrosion-resistant metals has earned a 2013 TechConnect National Innovation Award. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific …
A new analysis shows that the nation's land and water resources could likely support the growth of enough algae to produce up to 25 billion gallons of algae-based fuel a year in the United States, one-twelfth of the country's yearly needs. The …
Enough Northwest wind energy to power about 85,000 homes each month could be stored in porous rocks deep underground for later use, according to a new, comprehensive study. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory …
PNNL's Sriram Krishnamoorthy is one of many scientists reaching for the next step in supercomputer evolution, the exascale computer. DOE has awarded him $2.5 million over five years to explore ways to advance exascale computing through their Early …
A consortium of Washington-based organizations will soon submit the final section of a proposal to site an unmanned aircraft system research and testing facility in central Washington. If successful, the proposal to the Federal Aviation Administration will …
Natural gas power plants can use about 20 percent less fuel when the sun is shining by injecting solar energy into natural gas with a new system being developed by the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The system converts …
Jeffry Stevenson, a Laboratory Fellow at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has been elected a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society. A leader in energy materials research, Stevenson has focused his research at PNNL on …
First responders know that white powder scenarios — or suspected biological threats — require quick and decisive action. Having the right field-deployable equipment available to determine what the suspicious substance is can be complicated, challenging and …
Nigel Browning, a physicist at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has been elected a Fellow of the Microscopy Society of America. The "Fellow" designation distinguishes senior MSA members who have made …
Certain bacteria can breathe iron like we breathe oxygen. Understanding how they do so will help researchers use the microbes for cleaning up soil contaminants, for trapping carbon dioxide or for making batteries out of bacteria. Now, a team of researchers …
A technology that will allow widespread adoption of plug-in electric vehicles without negatively impacting the electrical grid is the subject of a commercial license agreement between Battelle and AeroVironment, Inc., of Monrovia, Calif. The technology may …
For the first time in Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's 47 year history PNNL is showcasing its science in a print calendar available to the general public. The artwork will also go on the road as part of a traveling exhibit throughout …
Pollution from fossil fuel burning and forest fires reaches all the way to the Arctic, even though it should decay long before it travels that far. Now, lab research can explain how pollution makes its lofty journey: rather than ride on the surface of …
