Research Summaries

Lignocellulosic biomass represents nearly 90 percent of the dry weight of total plant biomass material and is composed of cellulose and lignin.

Scientists from the University of Washington, Stanford University, and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) created a computational

Scientists can determine the structure and metabolic potential of microbial communities by established metagenomic approaches. However, linking

Refineries to convert biomass into fuels often rely on just one feedstock. If the refineries could accept more than one feedstock, it would greatly

Neptunium metal is extremely scarce, limiting its use as an entry route into molecular chemical studies. In contrast, aqueous acidic stock

Green leafy plants readily convert sunlight into energy-dense fuels. Conventional solar cells don’t. Why not? A key reaction, splitting water

Scientists developed a new and robust process that converts components of lignocellulosic biomass into high-performance high-value PSAs that have

When forming bonds with oxygen or participating in reactions involving oxygen atom transfer, the early actinide elements, protactinium through

While scientists have studied water for a long time, there’s still much that they don’t know. A particularly interesting aspect is

As part of a study on carbon cycling in soils, researchers deeply sequenced 60 soil metagenomes across a single grassland meadow at the Angelo
