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.

By combining computational modeling with experimental research, scientists identified a promising composition that reduces the need for a critical material in an alloy that can withstand extreme environments.

PNNL biodefense experts seek to identify, understand and mitigate the risks of biological pathogens—whether naturally occurring or intentionally created—so steps can be taken to prepare and respond.

Summer is for science! PNNL’s interns are diving into science and technology and getting a front-row view of the research and development of a national laboratory.

Studying MERS-CoV may lead to better treatments for a host of respiratory illnesses, including the many variants of COVID-19.

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

Researchers delivering new solutions to speed development and deployment of advanced reactor concepts.

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

Nuclear power figures prominently in our country's energy portfolio and is essential to our economic and environmental security.

School's out, which means a new group of interns is settling into summer research assignments with mentors at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland.

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