Deciphering viral ecology in soils is challenging due to soil’s high physicochemical and microbial community complexity. To enhance detection of DNA and RNA viruses, we applied different preparation methods to soils collected from a grassland field experiment. Analyses included metagenomics and...
Instructions for how to utilize the Bill of Materials to Input‑Output Inventory Converter
The flier provides manufacturers with a clear, practical overview of how to use PNNL’s Input-Output Data Inventory templates (also known as life cycle inventory templates) to streamline and strengthen their bill-of-material, input-output, and supply chain data collection efforts. It highlights the...
This flier provides manufacturers with a clear, practical overview of what information is needed to complete PNNL’s Input-Output Data Inventory templates (also known as life cycle inventory templates) and why doing so can strengthen their product assessments. Because data inventory often requires...
This flier introduces manufacturers to the value of using PNNL’s Input-Output Data Inventory templates (also known as life cycle inventory templates) and explains how these tools can strengthen their data collection and assessment processes. It outlines how the templates provide a structured...
Rare earth elements (REEs) are essential to modern technologies, yet their high physical and chemical similarity makes separation of individual REEs difficult and environmentally taxing. Metalloproteins offer a promising alternative for selective REE binding, as they tend to have high metal ion...
Project: Climate ToolSuite Technical Leads: Osten Anderson, Kostas Oikonomou Objective/Summary This tool provides functionality for sizing energy storage based on the principle of increasing reliability through the reduction of unserved energy. The tool optimizes the technology, capacity, and...
This software aligns and generates a dataobject with sequencing and alignment metrics for use with short read nanopore sequencing data.
Background: New demands for water can be satisfied through a variety of source options. In some basins surface and/or groundwater may be available through permitting with the state water management agency (termed unappropriated water), alternatively water might be purchased and transferred out of...
Framework for Optimizing Reliable Energy Systems and Infrastructure Given High-uncertainty Trajectories (FORESIGHT) The FORESIGHT initiative develops a first-of-its-kind multi-system operational and near-term planning framework to systematically account for evolving probabilities of weather extremes...
Problem Statement and Objectives : Climate datasets are available across many institutions. Understanding which one to use, or how to combine the datasets, and for which application, or/and which region, and/or which specific fundamental science question is a challenge. A multi-lab PNNL-ANL...
Background In type 1 diabetes (T1D), autoimmune responses and inflammation cause the death of pancreatic β cells, leading to the body’s inability to produce insulin and maintain glucose homeostasis. This process is at least in part mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interferon (IFN)α...
Biomineralization is the process by which organisms use biomolecules to produce hierarchically structured organic-inorganic composites. Using biology as inspiration, a protein construct (FD31) was previously designed to accelerate formation of nano-calcite with an unconventional {110} face. To...
Kate Hickcox joined Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in 2020 and focuses on advancing research in energy, buildings, industry, manufacturing, and communities, blending creative and practical approaches to uncover effective design solutions and strategies. Hickcox has worked in buildings...
Current methods for product or material input-output inventory data often require significant time and effort from manufacturers to compile. Additionally, without a uniform methodology these can result in inconsistent datasets that are difficult for practitioners to evaluate and compare, even within...
