The low-temperature breakdown of polyolefins is driven by carbenium ions generated from chloroaluminate ionic liquids.

The ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit brings together researchers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors to showcase the latest technologies shaping tomorrow’s energy landscape. This year, eight projects led by PNNL were featured.

PNNL chemical engineer Mariefel Olarte shares passion for mentoring students and the next-generation workforce.

A team from PNNL contributed several articles to the Domestic Preparedness Journal showcasing recent efforts to explore the emergency management and artificial intelligence research and development landscape.

PNNL Program Development Office Director Karl Mueller explains how the TEC4 project seeks to make advanced chemical computations accessible to all.

CACTUS provides AI-powered cheminformatics for autonomous science.

PNNL’s Center for Cloud Computing is addressing challenges in data management and hybrid cloud solutions with industry and academic partnerships.

Seawater threatens to intrude into coastal freshwater aquifers that millions of people depend on for drinking water and irrigation. This study investigates sea-level rise impacts on the global coastal groundwater table.

Several Earth system components are at a high risk of undergoing rapid, irreversible qualitative changes or ‘tipping’ with increasing climate warming.

The Testing Risks of AI for National Security Taskforce will address critical safety and security concerns related to artificial intelligence.

New datasets delineating global urban land support scientific research, application, and policy, but they can produce different results when applied to the same problem making it difficult for researchers to decide which to use.

A recent paper published in Science sheds light on how aerosols—tiny particles in the air—released by industrial activities can trigger downstream snowfall events.

Computing and artificial intelligence aid scientists who seek to understand function-driven design and control of biological systems.

Tuning the environment of supported palladium atoms with hydrogen treatment enhances their catalytic activity.

Through a detailed examination of historical data supported by mechanistic analysis and model experiments, researchers unveil that a large-scale climate system intensifies heat extremes and wildfire risks in the PNW.

This study shows that dry dynamics alone is not enough to understand jet stream persistence. Instead, clouds and precipitation are more important contributors than internal “dry” mechanisms to this memory of the Southern Hemisphere jet.

PNNL researchers work with industry partners to transform large language models.

University of Washington Professor David Baker won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for computational protein design.

The research presented in this article enhances the ability to predict and prepare for compound flood events along the U.S. coastline.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists discussed their materials research at Accelerate’24.
