Charting the Frontier of Electron Microscopy
A gathering of international experts in Portland, Oregon, explored the future of electron microscopy and surfaced potential solutions in areas including new instrument designs, high-speed detectors, and data analytics capabilities.
Tool Could Keep Solar Power From Going Off The Grid
PNNL researchers are developing the only tool that can control large-scale distributed energy resources in real time.
A Window into the Hidden Nuclear World
A multi-institute team develops an imaging method that reveals how uranium dioxide (UO2) reacts with air. This could improve nuclear fuel development and opens a new domain for imaging the group of radioactive elements known as actinides.
The Flicker Phenomenon
A staple in horror movies, flickering lights can also summon potential human health and productivity concerns. PNNL studied hand-held meters that measure flicker, and the results could improve future measurement and lighting strategies.
Containing Hydrogen in a Materials World
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories have joined forces to reduce costs and improve the reliability of hydrogen fueling stations.
Surprise Finding Uncovers New Capability for Semiconductor Material
Scientists have taken a common component of digital devices and endowed it with a previously unobserved capability, opening the door to a new generation of silicon-based electronic devices.
Tough Materials for Tough Environments
Researchers apply numerical simulations to understand more about a sturdy material and how its basic structure responds to and resists radiation. The outcomes could help guide development of the resilient materials of the future.
Scientists Show How One Cause of Weak Enamel Unfolds on the Molecular Level
Too-tight proteins impede creation of crystalline enamel structure, which can lead to bad teeth
A Promising Trap for Radioactive Waste
A radioactive chemical called pertechnetate is a bad actor when it's in nuclear waste tanks. But researchers at PNNL and the University of South Florida have a new lead on how to selectively separate it from the nuclear waste for treatment.
A Precise Look at Alzheimer's Proteins
Scientists have taken one of the most detailed looks ever at levels of soluble amyloid beta in the brain.
