In the quest for longer-lasting lithium rechargeable batteries, some researchers are looking to use sulfur as electrodes. The chemistry of lithium-sulfur, in theory, could allow electric vehicles to go twice as far as conventional batteries. But, in …
Garry Buchko and his colleagues are at the front line battling some of the most fearsome enemies that humanity has ever known: Tuberculosis. Pneumonia. Ebola. Plague. Botulism. But he is not in a hospital or field tent, taking vital signs or administering …
Analysis of big data that can reveal early signs of an Ebola outbreak or the first traces of a cyberattack require a different kind of processor than has been developed for large-scale scientific studies. Since the data might come from disparate sources — …
The knowledge and expertise of a seasoned energy efficiency professional has been packed into a high-tech suitcase. The Sensor Suitcase is a portable case that contains easy-to-use sensors and other equipment that make it possible for anyone to identify …
Most people think of salmon jumping upriver to spawn when they consider wild fish in the American Northwest. But another, lesser-known species — the Pacific Lamprey — is also culturally and historically important to the region. Lamprey have been on Earth …
Emissions of isoprene, a compound from plant matter that wields great influence in the atmosphere, are up to three times higher in the Amazon rainforest than scientists have thought, according to new findings published this week in Nature Communications. …
Scientists have gotten a better look at the effects of a gene known as the "guardian of the genome" in causing premature births and miscarriages. Trp53 is a well-known tumor suppressor gene that maintains genomic stability under normal …
Scientists have found a genetic modification in fungi that is more common than has been thought, offering scientists a new tool as they explore the use of fungi to convert biomass to fuels, chemicals and enzymes. Jon Magnuson and David Culley of the …
Thirty-seven years ago today, the eruption of Mount St. Helens clouded the Pacific Northwest in ash while also prompting a trove of research for some scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, then known as Pacific …
Several scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory were recognized recently for their role helping to stem the Ebola epidemic in West Africa two years ago. Mary Lancaster, Kabrena Rodda, Mike Spradling and Katrina …
Rocks, shells, bones — they're all made of crystals that grow from smaller crystals that attach to each other. A better understanding of how small crystals join themselves together might improve energy storage and other applications that rely on …
A computational science researcher at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been elevated to the rank of senior member in two scientific organizations. Antonino Tumeo was recognized by the Association for Computing …
Clouds in the eastern North Atlantic region will come under scrutiny from a bevy of airplane-based instruments this summer, courtesy of the U.S. Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility. Scientists will …
Man-made pollution in eastern China's cities worsens when less dust blows in from the Gobi Desert, according to a new study published May 11 in Nature Communications. Yes, you read that correctly: When less natural dust blows in, the air quality for …
Two familiar molecules that affect our brains will get increased scrutiny by researcher Sotiris Xantheas, a chemist at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory who has been invited to join Tokyo Tech's World Research Hub …
Current information indicates that it wasn't the gas but a coating on the dirigible's skin that was primarily responsible for the catastrophe. Hydrogen safety experts say the misconceptions regarding the Hindenburg have colored perceptions about …
Organic matter found in vast quantities in oxygen-starved floodplains would yield only minimal energy for hungry microorganisms, which spurn the meal, researchers show in a study published this week in Nature Geoscience. The soils beneath our feet contain …
Two seasoned researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have been recognized for their long list of technological and scientific innovations. Jun Liu was named PNNL Inventor of the Year and Vincent Sprenkle became …
Glass scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory hosted the Department of Energy's Acting Assistant Secretary for Environmental Management, Sue Cange earlier this month. DOE's Office of Environmental Management's mission is to …
About 550 kids learned about the amazing science that happens every day at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory with hands-on demonstrations and tours during the lab's annual Take Our Kids to Work Day event on April 27. …
