Video: Cell Phones Become Microscopes with 3-D Printing
RICHLAND, Wash., Sept. 17, 2014 — 3-D printing could help turn cell phones into high-powered microscopes, enabling them to identify biological samples in the field. A team at the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) used a 3-D printer to create a small plastic housing that fits over the end of a cell phone. A tiny glass bead is then placed into the housing, producing a miniature microscope. The device is easy to handle and use, offers very high magnification and the materials to
Superbright X-Ray Free-Electron Lasers Find Missing Proteins
RICHLAND, Wash., and LIVERMORE, Calif., Feb. 21, 2014 — A protein's shape is key to understanding how it causes disease or toxicity. Traditionally, capturing quality x-ray snapshots of a protein has required as many as 1 billion copies of the same protein, stacked into a neat crystal. This is no longer...
Steward Joins Orb Optronix
KIRKLAND, Wash., Sept. 25, 2012 — Former Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Manager Heidi Steward has been named director of sales and marketing at Orb Optronix.
Diatom Biosensor Could Detect Chemicals in Water
SEQUIM, Wash., March 30, 2012 — A biosensor made of fluorescent proteins that are embedded in the shell of microscopic marine algae called diatoms could help detect chemicals in water samples. The device could help produce nanomaterials that can solve sensing, catalysis and...
Laser/Ion-Funnel Mass Spec Mars-bound?
RICHLAND, Wash., March 1, 2011 — Finding life on Mars could get easier with a creative adaption to a common analytical tool that can be installed directly on the robotic arm of a space rover. In a recent paper published online in the journal Planetary and Space Science, a...
$1.2B Allocated to Science
UPTON, N.Y., March 24, 2009 – $1.2 billion in new science funding, allocated under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, was announced by Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu. The amount includes support for research in particle and plasma physics, solar energy,...
'Googling' Brain Proteins with 3-D Goggles
RICHLAND, Wash., Feb. 16, 2007 -- The Allen Brain Atlas, a genome-wide map of the mouse brain on the Internet, has been hailed as “Google of the brain.” The atlas now has a companion of the brain’s working molecules, a sort of pop-up book of the proteins, or...
PNNL Physicist Wins Presidential Honor
RICHLAND, Wash., July 27, 2006 -- Materials physicist Yanwen Zhang of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory received the 2005 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) yesterday -- the highest honor bestowed by the US government on outstanding scientists...
'Gold Cage' Analog to Buckyball Found
RICHLAND, Wash., May 16, 2006 – Scientists have uncovered a class of gold atom clusters that are the first known metallic hollow equivalents of the famous hollow carbon fullerenes known as buckyballs. The researchers believe that what they call “hollow golden cages” can be used to...
Biosensor Layered Like Lasagna Created at PNNL
RICHLAND, Wash., May 2, 2006 – Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have used electrostatic attraction to layer reactive biological molecules in a lasagna-like way around spaghetti-like carbon nanotubes. The configuration can be used in a wide range of...
DoE Seeks Bids to Manage PNNL
Feb 17, 2006 — WASHINGTON, D.C., Feb. 17, 2006 -- For the first time in 41 years, the government will seek competitive bids for the management and operations of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, Wash. Department of Energy (DoE) officials...
Technology Transfer Awards Go to PNNL
Feb 15, 2006 — RICHLAND, Wash., Feb. 15 -- The Federal Laboratory Consortium announced it is honoring Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) with four 2006 Awards for Excellence in Technology Transfer for the laboratory’s development and commercialization of...
Nerve-Gas Fingerprints Etched in Light
Nov 10, 2003 — RICHLAND, Wash., Nov. 10 -- In 1995, hundreds of Tokyo subway rescuers were exposed to the deadly nerve gas sarin hours before police confirmed its identity. Earlier this year, soldiers in Iraq worried about a similar fate. Pacific Northwest...
