Be the Catalyst of Your Career

In this article, we asked a dozen people involved with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Institute for Catalysis to offer their advice to those graduating this summer and entering the workforce. What did they consider important as they traveled from learning their strengths to defining an emerging area? The article describes their advice.

Oxygen: The Jekyll and Hyde of Biofuels

Vital to life on this planet, oxygen has a sinister and ravenous side that harms plants and biofuel production. That's why the Department of Energy's Office of Science supports research to tame oxygen's dark side.

Compact X-ray Light Source Workshop Report

This report is the result of a workshop held in September 2011 that examined the utility of a compact x-ray light source (CXLS) in addressing many scientific challenges critical to advancing energy science and technology. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and National Academy of Sciences (NAS) have repeatedly described the need for advanced instruments that “predict, control, and design the components of energetic processes and environmental balance,” most notably in biological, chemical, environmental, and materials science. In numerous DOE and NAS reports, direct molecular-scale imaging and timedependent studies are seen as a powerful means to develop an atomistic-level understanding of scientific issues associated with current and future energy and environmental needs, including energy production and storage from both fossil-based and fossil-free sources and cleanup of government and industrial sites worldwide.
