Research Team Proves Bacteria-Killing Viruses Deploy Genetic Code-Switching to Deceive Hosts
Thin oxide films help researchers in PNNL’s Energy Sciences Center develop model materials for semiconductors, sensors, and batteries.
Oceans drive Earth’s climate, are more than 70% of surface area, generate about 80% of all precipitation, and influence climate-critical exchanges.
A yearlong ARM field campaign launched in February 2023 to gather insights on the marine clouds that shade and cool the earth.
Scientists confirmed that bacteriophages use a standard genetic code to invade bacteria, then switch to an alternate code at later stages of infection

As another atmospheric river impacts California on January 4th and 5th -- with more rain forecast after that -- Michael Wehner, a senior scientist in the Computational Research Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, discusses how climate change is increasing the rainfall from these drenching storms and how people can better prepare. Wehner uses observational data and advanced computer modeling to understand the behavior of extreme weather events in a changing climate, especially heat waves, intense precipitation, drought, and tropical cyclones.
