Large-Scale EMSL Research

The injection of greenhouse gases into deep geologic formations offers a promising strategy for reducing emissions into the atmosphere that contribute to global warming. The injection of CO2 as a…

Metal Binding by Melanin Biopolymers

Lead Institution

Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Eric Walter

The ubiquitous biopolymer melanin has important and unique materials properties, yet these very properties have prevented elucidation of its basic structure. MAS-NMR capabilities at EMSL will probe…

Experimental Capabilities and Fundamental Science for Geologic Carbon Sequestration: The PNNL In Situ Supercritical Suite (IS3)

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

John Loring

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

This Science Theme proposal requests EMSL access for investigators in the In Situ Supercritical Suite (IS3) component of PNNL's Carbon Sequestration Initiative (CSI). The CSI is a multi-million…

Exploratory Research

We propose a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation of the role of interfacial water and CO2 on the energies, mechanisms, and rates of reactivity of a series of orthosilicate and…

The affinity and structure of biomolecules immobilized on a 3-D substrate: Time-resolved EPR detection during mobile phase gradients

Lead Institution

Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Eric Walter

We propose the development of a new magnetic resonance technique to monitor the interactions of biomolecules with binding partners and their environment. Physically, this will be implemented by…
