PNNL set to take advantage of new high-speed network connection
A new fiber optic network that connects Richland to Seattle will allow Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to increase the amount of data the research facility can exchange with the U.S. and international science communities by as much as 300 times current rates. The new high-speed connection and increased bandwidth will position the lab for major new research programs in homeland and cyber security, information visualization, and human and environmental health.

Smart building controls may help manage peak energy demand in Northwest
Can information technology and smart building controls reduce the need to build expensive new electricity transmission lines? Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory think they might. In a demonstration with the Bonneville Power Administration, PNNL is exploring the impacts of reducing electrical demand and on-site energy production at several buildings in Richland, where PNNL performs research for the federal government.

PNNL'S role in Science discovery on how microbe survives otherwise deadly radiation
Jim Fredrickson, a chief scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, is a co-author of a paper published online by the journal Science , at the Science Express website, today, 30 September. More...
Pacific Northwest team unveils largest virus proteome to date
PORTLAND, Ore., and RICHLAND, Wash. – Scientists have discovered a record number of proteins for one of the largest and most complex viruses, the highly infectious and stealthy human cytomegalovirus, a team from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Oregon Health & Science University reported today in the October Journal of Virology.

RICHLAND, Wash. – Bone and enamel start with the same calcium-phosphate crystal building material but end up quite different in structure and physical properties. But how the protein involved in this feat of crystal-strand shape-shifting pulls this off has remained elusive. Today, in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, a Pacific Northwest National Laboratory-led team of scientists report the first direct observation of how this protein, amelogenin, interacts with crystals like those in bone to form the hard, protective enamel of teeth.
