Research at PNNL and the University of Texas at El Paso are addressing computational challenges of thinking beyond the list and developing bioagent-agnostic signatures to assess threats.
Researchers seek to bring down costs, address potential environmental risks and maximize the benefits of harnessing wind energy above the deep waters of the Pacific.
PNNL is supporting the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate's Chemical Security Analysis Center in improving capabilities to enhance detection and analysis of chemical threats.
A new report highlights the results of an assessment PNNL conducted of field-portable detection products used by first responders to detect illicit substances like fentanyl in the field.
The nation is closer to its offshore wind energy goals than ever before, but better wind forecasting is still needed. To address this challenge, PNNL and collaborators are charting a new course with help from novel technology.
The 50th anniversary of the Finnish Institute for Verification of the Chemical Weapons Convention was recently celebrated in Helsinki, Finland. PNNL's Jonathan Forman and Raul Aranzazu attended this international event.
PNNL had a significant presence at October’s North American Wind Energy Academy/WindTech 2023 Conference in Denver, Colorado. Thirteen PNNL wind experts participated in various capacities.
A team of researchers from PNNL provided technical knowledge and support to test a suite of techniques that detect genetically modified bacteria, viruses, and cells.
Jonathan Forman was nominated to serve on the delegation of the United States of America at the second meeting of the Working Group on Strengthening the Biological Weapons Convention.
At the Nonproliferation, Counterproliferation, and Disarmament Science Gordon Research Conference, researchers from PNNL shared research and scientific approaches for countering diverse threats.
PNNL recently joined the Department of Homeland Security for two technical meetings exploring national security research spanning the threat realm, from chemical and biological attacks to adversarial artificial intelligence.
PNNL’s wide-ranging report maps the current nanobiotechnology landscape, flags potential concerns, and details the need for an organizing body to coordinate currently disparate disciplines.
The ChemSpace Tool, when fully developed, is intended to divide chemical space into three subsets: the detectable space, the identifiable space, and the region that includes compounds that are not detectable or identifiable.
Microbes that were previously frozen in soils are becoming more active. This study demonstrates the diverse RNA viral communities found in thawed permafrost.
