Snow Pack Predictions for Next 50 Years in the Pacific Northwest

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Michael Perkins
Project type
Exploratory Research
Based on predictions from researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, I intend to build an animation that will depict snow pack level changes in the Pacific Northwest. This animation will…

Determination of cause of bloating in Ti pellets

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Nathan Canfield
Project type
Exploratory Research
Bloating of samples has been seen to happen under certain processing and sintering conditions. This bloating has been attributed to Ar gas trapped in the Ti powder. There is a need to determine if…

Intra-species proteome within a natural population of Shewanella baltica

Lead Institution
Rosetta Inpharmatics, LLC
Principal Investigator
Joel Klappenbach
Project type
Exploratory Research
With the inability to easily distinguish morphological features of bacteria as with larger macro-organisms, rRNA gene surveys have been used to assess organismal diversity of bacteria. From the very…

Preparation of ZnO thin films by MOCVD

Lead Institution
University of Washington
Principal Investigator
Daniel Gamelin
Project type
Exploratory Research
This research is aimed at manipulating the carriers in oxide based diluted magnetic semiconductors by adsorbing and decomposing small molecules on their surfaces. This chemical manipulation however…

Investigation of structural properties of oxide and nitride nanowires

Lead Institution
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Michael Johnson
Project type
Exploratory Research
Group-III oxide and nitride (In2O3, Ga2O3, SnO2, ITO, GaN, AlN, InN) nanostructures are expected to be important components for future nanoelectronic and photonic devices. Controlled growth and…
