Global exercise advances nuclear forensic science and investigative capabilities.

PNNL experts trained Armenian engineers in ultrasonic testing, advancing local expertise for nuclear power plant inspections.

Five PNNL innovations earned 2026 R&D 100 Awards for advances in biotechnology, manufacturing, critical minerals, and nuclear security.

A new report highlights a public workshop hosted by the National Academies Forum on Microbial Threats and features PNNL's Lauren Charles and the AI-Driven One Health Security program.

Integrating new functions into a genome-scale model enabled researchers to simulate and experimentally validate viral hijacking pathways.

A study by researchers at PNNL assessed the feasibility of using strontium isotope ratios and an existing machine learning–based model to predict and verify a product’s source—in this case, honey.

Early life exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), found in smoke, has been linked to developmental problems. To study the impacts of these pollutants, PAH metabolism in infants and adults were compared.
