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.

Researchers seek to bring down costs, address potential environmental risks and maximize the benefits of harnessing wind energy above the deep waters of the Pacific.

From landfills to fill-ups: novel catalysts may make plastic upcycling cleaner and more cost-effective.

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

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

Can food waste help fuel the future? Researchers are working toward clean, cost-effective alternatives to today’s fossil fuels.

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