As Laboratory Director Steve Ashby pens his last monthly column, he highlights PNNL’s accomplishments with pride and gratitude.

Experiments focus on catalysts for off-road vehicles that optimize the use of critical minerals while lasting longer and costing less.

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.

From enhancing biofuel crops to setting up automated experiments and improving energy storage—interns at PNNL are making an impact.

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.

A breakthrough in electron microscopy based on deep learning can automatically visualize and identify areas of interest, helping to speed advances in materials science.

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

From energy-efficient buildings to new manufacturing techniques, researchers at PNNL strive for sustainability and a decarbonization.

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

PNNL is rock solid on carbon storage, building on successful demonstration in eastern Washington.

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.

Despite the challenges, the talented and dedicated staff at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory kept delivering for the nation.

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

There is a science website for kids that defines materials science as "the study of stuff" and, in the simplest of terms, that's right.

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.

As Tri-Citians, we're fortunate that we don't have the frustrating traffic and long commutes that our friends in Seattle and Portland endure. And with lower prices at the pump, we don't think much about fuel efficiency.
