Stories with the tag: EMSL
A new $17 million supercomputer coming soon to a national laboratory near you. Release Date: 1/24/2013
Batteries are an important part of our daily lives. This research will make them more powerful, last longer, and be easier on our wallets. Release Date: 11/30/2012
The American Association for the Advancement of Science is inducting four PNNL researchers as fellows. Over the years, 56 PNNL researchers have earned this distinction. Release Date: 11/29/2012
The polaron model of semiconduction explains why electrons move so much slower in iron oxide than in a wire. Release Date: 9/13/2012
Sherry L. Cady, an expert on how microbes living in extreme environments interact with and influence their surroundings, will serve as the chief science officer for DOE's EMSL, the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory on PNNL's campus. Release Date: 7/3/2012
A study in Nano Letters that examines a new type of silicon-carbon nanocomposite electrode reveals details of how they function and how repeated use could wear them down. The study also provides clues to why this material performs better than silicon alon Release Date: 3/14/2012
Nano-sized electrodes are revealing how materials in rechargeable batteries fare during use. Charging nano-wire electrodes causes lithium ions to push in, fattening, lengthening and changing the crystal character of the electrode material. The nano-sized electrodes are potentially more resilient than electrodes made from bulk material. Release Date: 12/9/2010
A new way to make electrodes for lithium ion batteries uses wax and soap to form high quality materials. The one-step method will allow battery developers to explore lower-priced alternatives to the rechargeable lithium ion batteries currently on the market. Release Date: 8/12/2010
PNNL researchers and their collaborators earned kudos for technologies ranging from the very small to industrial-strength. Release Date: 7/8/2010
PNNL researchers describe in a paper published in the nanotechnology journal Small how DNA and graphene interact and can create biosensors for disease diagnosis, among other biotechnology uses. Release Date: 5/13/2010
