Researchers at PNNL are pursuing new approaches to understand, predict and control the phenome—the collection of biological traits within an organism shaped by its genes and interactions with the environment.

PNNL’s patented Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion (ShAPE™) technique is an advanced manufacturing technology that enables better-performing materials and components while offering opportunities to reduce costs and energy consumption.

PNNL’s software tool brings together artificial intelligence and satellite imagery to help responders assess damage and take action.

Road tripping? PNNL’s researchers driving science and technology for clean, efficient and convenient transportation.

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

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

Researchers developed two solutions for air-conditioning—a novel, energy-efficient dehumidification system and a technology to detect refrigerant leaks. Both help increase energy-efficiency and reduce costs.

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

Tools being developed at PNNL are helping the nation plan for, respond to and recover from severe storms and wildfires that could threaten critical energy systems.

When disaster strikes, first responders rush in to provide assistance. In addition to their courage and training, they depend on a panoply of technologies to do their jobs.

For decades, the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has played a role in establishing and maintaining sustainable hydropower for the region.
