Reaching New Heights

A new high-resolution mass spectrometer developed by EMSL users now allows the biological research community to identify and map the location of biomolecules on a sample with higher mass accuracy and mass resolving power than ever before.
Research Highlights

Nanoparticle Proteomics

An EMSL user team devised an elegant, novel method to characterize blood plasma proteins that attach to nanoparticles. Their work offers new insights into how the human body interacts with nanoparticles and resulted in the largest protein-nanoparticle dataset to date.
Research Highlights

Bacteria to the Rescue

To better understand site-specific processes, properties, and conditions controlling uranium bioremediation, scientists developed faster, more detailed simulations, maximizing the use of broader Rifle Site field experiment data.
Research Highlights

Spun from the 'Web'

Peptide hydrogels have great potential as material for protein storage and transfer. Scientists used spider flagelliform silk protein to design the peptide, h9e. In Ca2+ solution, h9e Ca2+ hydrogel showed promise for medical use.

Looking into the Atomic World of Fuel-Cell Catalysts

Fuel cells hold the promise of green power, but a major challenge in making them practical for large-scale commercial application is overcoming the high cost of the platinum catalysts required for oxygen reduction reaction in the air cathode.
Research Highlights

Capturing carbon

A team of EMSL and PNNL scientists has developed a new technology that enables molecular-level insight into carbon sequestration.
Research Highlights

Parkinson's proteins

A team of researchers from University of Illinois and EMSL apply a new approach for discovering therapeutic targets for Parkinson's Disease.
Research Highlights

Handling Heterogeneity at the Hanford Site

Using experimental and modeling resources at EMSL, scientists from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory determined the equilibrium and kinetic properties of uranium(VI) adsorption to subsurface grains varies with respect to the grain size.
