The instrument helps Murugesan and other researchers design battery parts then conduct tests in the imaging system. The setup will move to the new Energy Sciences Center later this year.

Groundbreaking research into white-rot fungi proves its value in carbon sequestration

 E-Mail A foundational study conducted by scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) shows for the first time that white-rot fungi are able to use carbon captured from lignin as a carbon source. The research confirms a hypothesis from Davinia Salvachúa Rodriguez, the senior author of a newly published paper. Until now, scientists were unsure whether white-rot fungi the most efficient lignin-degrading organisms in nature actually consume the products generated from breaking down lignin. What we have demonstrated here is that white-rot fungi can actually utilize lignin-derived aromatic compounds as a carbon source, which means they can eat them and utilize them to grow, Salvachúa said. That is another strategy for carbon sequestration in nature and has not been reported before.

Aggressive brain tumor mapped in genetic, molecular detail

 E-Mail IMAGE: Pictured are MRI scans of eight patients with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor. A new study led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has mapped out detailed. view more  Credit: ALBERT H. KIM Glioblastoma is among the most aggressive and devastating of cancers. While rare compared with other cancers, it s the most common type of brain cancer. Even with intensive therapy, relatively few patients survive longer than two years after diagnosis, and fewer than 10% of patients survive beyond five years. Despite extensive studies focused on genomic features of glioblastoma, relatively little progress has been made in improving treatment for patients with this deadly disease.

Insights Through Atomic Simulation

Date Time Insights Through Atomic Simulation A recent special issue in The Journal of Chemical Physics highlights Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s (PNNL) contributions to developing two prominent open-source software packages for computational chemistry used by scientists around the world. PNNL researchers have been instrumental in developing the software packages, called NWChem and CP2K. These programs offer complementary approaches to calculating electronic structure, which is fundamental to atomic behavior and chemical bonding. According to the abstract for this special issue, “the electronic structure community now has a wonderfully diverse arsenal of software packages available for performing calculations on molecules and materials.” NWChem and CP2K are included in that arsenal.
