Killer microbe may be a lifesaver after all
DOE/Pacific Northwest National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
Advances in the molecular modeling and simulation of complex biological systems
are enabling researchers to study how certain microbial systems may play an
important role in the remediation of contaminated soils. One target is Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common microbe in sediments and the subsurface. This bacterium is also an important opportunistic pathogen that can cause fatal infections in people with a weakened immune systems.

Efficient 'can' lights open opportunities for energy savings
DOE/Pacific Northwest National LaboratoryBusiness Announcement
It turns out that the most popular form of residential lighting is generally the most inefficient. So inefficient, in fact, that new building codes in California will effectively limit new installation of incandescent recessed fixtures, commonly referred to as "can" lights or "downlights."
The Department of Energy is working to improve the efficiency of can lighting through its Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

'Biosensor' screens Air Force personnel and equipment
DOE/Pacific Northwest National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
Air Force personnel will soon know within minutes if they or their equipment are contaminated with a biological agent, thanks to a new technology developed by the Air Force and a national laboratory.
Personnel will use the biosensor system to collect and isolate samples, detect and identify agents, and assess the seriousness of the threat.

NIH funds DOE lab for cellular studies
DOE/Pacific Northwest National LaboratoryGrant and Award Announcement
Two National Institutes of Health grants, totaling nearly $3 million, aim to alleviate painful conditions that affect millions of Americans. For cystic fibrosis patients, the research will be used to fight against infections caused by an aggressive bacterium called Pseudomonas aeruginosa that can wreak havoc in respiratory systems. For millions of tumor sufferers, the work will lead to understanding what goes wrong in the growth and development of cells.
