David Wunschel, a chemist and Laboratory Fellow, participated on a panel focused on how emerging technologies are transforming CBRN defense, detection, and response across military and government operations.
Distributed science is thriving at PNNL, where scientists share data and collaborate with researchers around the world to increase the impact of the work.
A closed-loop workflow brings together digital and physical frameworks to advance high-throughput experimentation on redox-active molecules in flow batteries.
Recycling polyolefin materials is challenging. One waste management strategy is plastic upcycling. New work demonstrates a single-step upcycling route coupling cracking and alkylation, recycling carbon and keeping valuable resources active.
A PNNL innovation uses steam to recover heat from the high-temperature reactor effluent in the HTL process, substantially reducing the propensity for fouling and potentially reducing costs.
A PNNL-developed computational framework accurately predicts the thermomechanical history and microstructure evolution of materials designed using solid phase processing, allowing scientists to custom design metals with desired properties.
