The polaron model of semiconduction explains why electrons move so much slower in iron oxide than in a wire. [Full Story…]
PNNL’s detailed analysis of the resources needed to make, use and dispose of light bulbs found light-emitting diodes, also known as LEDs, are more environmentally friendly than compact fluorescent and incandescent lights. [Full Story…]
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have found that their mass spectrometry-based technique, called PRISM, performed as accurately as standard clinical tests known as ELISAs. The technique should be able to speed up development of protein-specific diagnostic tests and treatment. [Full Story…]
A new material may be able to soak up enough trace uranium in sea water to help fuel future nuclear power plants. Tests by PNNL showed the material can soak up more than two times the uranium than a similar material developed in Japan. [Full Story…]
The ocean below Hurricane Omar revealed how fresh water can affect the intensity of tropical storms. [Full Story…]
