In a new approach, quantum flow algorithms are used to simulate many-body systems on quantum computers and effectively describe chemical processes.

In soil, microbes produce and consume methane. Using a technique called pool dilution, researchers can separate the rate of methane production and consumption from the net rate.

Hi-C metagenomics-informed phage-host infection networks detected in soil pre- and post-drying.

Soil is a massive reservoir of carbon, holding three times the amount of carbon than in the atmosphere. Soil is a massive reservoir of carbon, holding three times the amount of carbon than in the atmosphere.

Scientists can now generate a protein database directly from proteomics data gathered from a specific soil sample using a digital tool and deep learning computer model called Kaiko.

The popular approach of organizing soil bacteria into fast- or slow-growing groups is problematic because most bacteria grow at comparable rates in soil.

Metabolomics analysis revealed differences in metabolome profiles for two distinct modes of fungal wood decay.

Research from PNNL and the University of Washington demonstrates the extension of the MBE for periodic systems and its use to decompose the lattice energies of different ice polymorphs.

Variations in burn severity are a key control on the chemical constituents of dissolved organic matter delivered to streams within a single burn perimeter.

A multi-omics analysis provides the framework for gaining insights into the structure and function of microbial communities across multiple habitats on a planetary scale

A rich and largely untapped reservoir of lipids in soil environments was used to examine microorganisms’ physiological responses to drying-rewetting cycles.

Snekmer is an application for building and searching protein family models and novel sequence clusters.

A team from the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory published research, demonstrating that the soil microbes were directly involved in the stabilization of soil organic carbon and mineral weathering.

The work by the team at PNNL takes a critical step in leveraging ML to accelerate advanced manufacturing R&D, specifically for manufacturing techniques without access to efficient, first-principles simulations.

Microbes that were previously frozen in soils are becoming more active. This study demonstrates the diverse RNA viral communities found in thawed permafrost.

Organismal contribution and community interaction drive soil organic matter breakdown by microbes.

Identifying a novel gene function on soil viruses.

Microbes and viruses play key roles in carbon and nitrogen cycling in riverbed sediments.

Forms of nitrogen released by nitrogen-fixing bacteria differ across sampling scales and in structured environments.

Dominant and functionally important soil microbes show strong, predictable, and distinctly different associations with continental-scale gradients in climate, vegetation, and soil moisture.
