      FREE GAS Mileage Unlimited. Save lives with bigger cars too now. Public school science taught us "water /H2O in sealed container with air tube on top, submerged metal plates charged by simple car battery makes Hydrogen Gas Air." (Unlimited by the size of the tank and number of metal plates as many places are selling and buying simplified Hydrogen generators.) Now us Truck fleet owners use this to drive cross country same as many farms have done for decades before gas was available. Such Good News , yet where is everyone always texting and such. This is the Internet right?:) With all the fan fare of social media on less important things and so much talk of search for energy, why does it seem not many are talking about unlimited free gas mileage and so unlimited? Good luck everyone.

    COLUMBIA RIVER WATER DIATOMS: Diatoms, unicellular phytoplankton, are used by scientists to determine if a waterway is contaminated. Different species of diatoms can thrive or die depending on the quality of the waterway’s condition. Scientists also study diatoms when researching potential remediation techniques and for climate change studies. Their hydrated silicon dioxide cell walls give them a unique, sculptural quality and longevity. Fossilized diatomaceous earth, for instance, can provide insight into prehistoric environmental conditions for climate change researchers. These diatoms, captured by PNNL researcher Benjamin Miller, are from a drop of water along the Columbia River located in Richland, Washington. Others contributing to the project include Robert Mueller and Amoret Bunn.

    Congratulations to Dan DuBois on receiving the American Chemical Society Award in Inorganic Chemistry. Dan’s work provides the foundation we use to rationally design a catalyst to do what we want. Catalysts are part of many chemical processes from refining oil to storing and using renewable energy.

    Fresh water feeds a hurricane’s fury. When they blow over ocean regions swamped with fresh water, the rate at which the storm intensifies increases by about 50 percent. A new study led by PNNL in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows why.

    It’s day two of the Productive Programming Models for Exascale meeting, hosted by the eXtreme Scale Computing Initiative. With 32 speakers from US and European organizations and universities, computer scientists are in deep discussion of programming models for high-performance computer architectures. This work is important to the progression and advancement of high-performance computing at PNNL.

    Supercomputer systems have primarily been designed with performance as the primary criterion that must be satisfied. However, as we move into the Exascale era, power consumption will increasingly provide the pressure that will drive system design. Simply scaling up current technology will not provid...
