The sensor design is shown on the cover of the February 2008 issue. The article was written by Jay W. Grate and Matthew O'Hara from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Oleg Egorov, formerly of PNNL and now with IsoRay Medical, and Timothy DeVol from Clemson University. ]]>Thu, 08 May 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.pnl.gov/science/highlights/highlight.asp?id=427Results: When a large molecule with several extra protons softly lands on a surface, little happens to the molecule, but a lot happens to the protons, according to scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Some of the protons, positively charged subatomic particles, dissipate on impact. Others stay with the molecule through the landing and only slowly leave the scene. ]]>Thu, 08 May 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.pnl.gov/science/highlights/highlight.asp?id=422Wed, 07 May 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.pnl.gov/science/highlights/highlight.asp?id=423Wed, 07 May 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.pnl.gov/science/highlights/highlight.asp?id=424Chemical Reviews.

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) ARM program is a multi-laboratory science collaboration that advances understanding of atmospheric processes that affect climate change. ]]>Wed, 07 May 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.pnl.gov/science/highlights/highlight.asp?id=421Institute for Interfacial Catalysis, will provide for nearly 100 people. On April 28, 2008, 25,000 square feet of office space at the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a national scientific user facility at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, was dedicated to White's memory. In addition to his role with the IIC, White was a Robert A. Welch Chair of Materials Chemistry at the University of Texas at Austin and a distinguished EMSL user. ]]>Thu, 01 May 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.pnl.gov/science/highlights/highlight.asp?id=419Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.pnl.gov/science/highlights/highlight.asp?id=420Results: Trimming an alcohol into a smaller, more desirable molecule just got easier thanks to research at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Institute for Interfacial Catalysis and the University of Texas at Austin. The team figured out the steps that occur when a catalyst helps split an alcohol, generating water and a carbon-based molecule known as an alkene. Tungsten trioxide was selected to fill the role of model catalyst, and propanol was used as the alcohol. Using the catalyst cut—in half—the energy required to drive the reaction. ]]>Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.pnl.gov/science/highlights/highlight.asp?id=417Mon, 28 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT
