From energy storage to cybersecurity, this 2023 wrap-up offers a glimpse of PNNL innovations with a seasonal twist.

Algae can collect and concentrate rare earth metals from seawater—an alternative to imported sources mined from the ground.

PNNL is making waves in pursuit of a blue economy. Researchers are advancing science and technology to expand—and protect—the gifts of the sea.

COMPASS points to understanding nature’s transition zones—areas that can be dry land at times and under water at others.

From water purification, to better batteries and tools to foil a cyberattack—a look back at how PNNL helped to invent a brighter and better future over the last year.

Science and engineering solutions helping keep America safe from explosive, radiological, biological and cyber threats.

Understanding the Earth as a complex, dynamic system includes investigating what happens on, above and below its surface.

Alaska's remote location and vast wilderness contribute both to its beauty and its challenges.

We depend on electricity for nearly everything we do. Flip a switch, and the lights come on. Turn up the thermostat, and the room gets warm.

Like detectives looking for clues, researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have been working for nearly a decade on ways to identify the "fingerprints" of potential chemical threats.

It has been said that invention is the process of turning money into ideas and innovation is the process of turning ideas into money.

Cybersecurity is increasingly top-of-mind and in the news. Individuals worry about identify theft and the compromise of financial and medical records. And the federal government battles myriad threats aimed at our national security.

Discovery in action. These words describe what we do at PNNL. For more than 50 years, we have advanced the frontiers of science and engineering in the service of our nation and the the world.

Led by Battelle in collaboration with the Bonneville Power Administration, the Pacific Northwest Smart Grid Demonstration Project is the largest field test of smart grid systems to date.
