The Allen Brain Atlas, a genome-wide map of the mouse brain on the Internet, has been hailed as "Google of the brain." The atlas now has a companion of the brain's working molecules, a sort of pop-up book of the proteins, or proteome map, that those genes express.
Former cold warriors collaborate to create and market a miniature hydrogen gas sensor with improved reliability and response time. Such a device will provide added safety, detection capability and efficiency to a variety of applications industry-wide.
If all the cars and light trucks in the nation switched from oil to electrons, idle capacity in the existing electric power system could generate most of the electricity consumed by plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. A new study for the Department of Energy finds that "off-peak" electricity production and transmission capacity could fuel 84 percent of the country's 220 million vehicles if they were plug-in hybrid electrics.
Scientists in the Pacific Northwest have found that inactive enzymes entombed in tiny honeycomb-shaped holes in silica can spring to life. The finding points the way for exploiting these enzyme traps in food processing, decontamination, biosensor design and any other pursuit that requires controlling catalysts and sustaining their activity.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory study can lead to improved disease detection, vaccines and treatments.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists first to measure electrical charge shuttled by proteins removed from living cells.
The most detailed inventory yet of Salmonella proteins teases out how bacteria invade immune cells while evading detection"”and presents a promising target for new drugs, vaccines and rapid diagnostics
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been recognized with five 2006 R&D 100 awards for a new cancer treatment method, a process that reduces the rate of post-surgical infection, and technologies that have reduced energy use, and led to improvements in the health and materials fields.
A new ultrasonic technology could tell ice cream manufacturers and other food processors if foreign objects have fallen into their tasty product before customers find them at the bottom of their cones or on their dinner plates.
Power grid operators now have the ability to train like pilots, with simulators providing faulty readings designed to throw them off. Such misleading data and resulting loss of "situational awareness" was identified as a major cause of the August 2003 blackout "“ which cost the country between $4 billion and $10 billion.
Most detailed forecast to date shows sharp snowpack decline between now and year 2100; New Zealand, Latin America, Western U.S., European ranges hardest hit.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists have used electrostatic attraction to layer reactive biological molecules lasagna-like around spaghetti-like carbon nanotubes.
Scientists have uncovered a class of gold atom clusters that are the first known metallic hollow equivalents of the famous hollow carbon fullerenes known as buckyballs.
Extraterrestrial ice as a source for oxygen has presented the tantalizing possibility of complex life elsewhere in our solar system. But how hydrogen peroxide emerges from ice to become life-sustaining oxygen has been unclear...until now.
With an eye on disembodied cells and virtual organs, researchers attempt to track biological changes as they occur.
A leading molecular sciences research facility in the Pacific Northwest is seeing early promise from its two scientific "grand challenges" that have been investigating enigmas in microbiology and biogeochemistry.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been recognized for transferring technologies that treat and cure cancer, uniquely analyze massive sets of data, neutralize toxic chemicals from the environment and increase surgical implant success rates.
Benoit Mandelbrot takes on new challenges in advanced mathematics for computational science.
In the clouds above Darwin, Australia, pilots guided by a team of international climate scientists are now one week into a series of carefully orchestrated flights to obtain key in situ data about tropical clouds.
A research team has found that while cloud cover in China has been decreasing for the past 50 years, cloud-free days do not mean sunshine. Smog is to blame.
