PNNL’s year in review includes highlights ranging from advancing soil science to understanding Earth systems, expanding electricity transmission, detecting fentanyl, and applying artificial intelligence to aid scientific discovery.

Future holiday homecomings could include efficient heat pumps in cold climates and homes designed and built with the environment in mind.

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.

Exploring why some brains are more resilient to the impact of Alzheimer’s disease could lead to improved diagnoses, treatment and prevention.

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

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

Tomorrow’s scientific leaders gain real-world experience contributing to PNNL’s research and development.

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.

As a Department of Energy national laboratory, you would expect Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to perform research in chemistry, physics and engineering in support of our energy, environmental and security missions.
