Lives of soldiers and others injured in remote locations could be saved with a cell-free protein synthesis system developed at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø.
The device, a creation of a team led by Andrea Timm and Scott Retterer
Supercomputing simulations at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø could change how researchers understand the internal motions of proteins that play functional, structural and regulatory roles in all living organisms.
Bioenergy researchers at 91°µÍø have explained the molecular mechanism of an effect that has puzzled scientists for years.
Thawing permafrost and contaminated sediment in marine coastal areas pose some of the greatest risks for the production of highly toxic methylmercury, according to findings published in the journal Science Advances.
The discovery of these newly identified
Plants and other biomass can be converted into a variety of renewable high-value products including carbon fibers, plastics, and liquid fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel that are beneficial for reducing petroleum use and vehicle emissions.
Viruses are tiny—merely millionths of a millimeter in diameter—but what they lack in size, they make up in quantity.
Another barrier to commercially viable biofuels from sources other than corn has fallen with the engineering of a microbe that improves isobutanol yields by a factor of 10.
The finding of the Department of Energy’s BioEnergy Science Center, published in t
A microscope being developed at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø will allow scientists studying biological and synthetic materials to simultaneously observe chemical and physical properties on and beneath the surface.
Biorefineries could benefit from a new process developed at 91°µÍø that produces hydrogen from plant sources such as switchgrass.
Scientists focused on producing biofuels more efficiently have a new powerful dataset to help them study the DNA of microbes that fuel bioconversion and other processes.
