Scientists Write Book on Answering the Challenges of Clean Energy with Molecular Modeling
September 2013
Congratulations to the scientists at Pacific Northwest
National Laboratory for their outstanding contributions toward Applications of Molecular Modeling to
Challenges in Clean Energy. This 245-page book, published by the American
Chemical Society, is based on invited talks from a multi-day symposium at the society's
2012 spring meeting. The peer-reviewed book focuses on using computational
modeling to answer fundamental questions in catalysis, biofuels, and other
sustainable solutions.
