Dr. Douglas Ray, Chief Research Officer, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, June 15, 2005
Dr. Doug Ray discusses catalysis science and how it impacts our daily lives. Dr. Ray describes designing controlled catalytic reactions, based on nanoscience and high-performance computing. Biological catalysts could be used in environmental remediation, and photocatalysis could be used to produce "benign" fuels, such as hydrogen-based fuels. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is a Department of Energy Office of Science national laboratory that advances the fundamental understanding of complex systems and provides science-based solutions for the nation.
