Controlled synthesis and processing allow researchers to test how ions move through energy-relevant materials.

The structure-directing agent directly interacts with framework components during material formation.

Researchers developed a new tool that combines artificial intelligence and microscopy data to rapidly test new materials for fusion reactor use.

Artificial structuring in carefully designed (SrNiO3)1/(LaFeO3)n superlattices stabilized Ni4+ cations that would otherwise be unstable

Geophysical modeling and inversion software meets DOE and nuclear industry standards for use in decision-making for radiologically contaminated sites.

Changing the environment of proteins directs their assembly into different types of larger structures.

Pacific Northwest marsh carbon stocks are twice the global average. Long-term sea-level rise impacts will likely decrease ecosystem carbon stocks.

This research addresses two topics that are not well understood in literature: the interplay between organic linkers and substrates during MOF crystallization, as well as the mechanisms that control heterostructure formation in solutions.

Existing techniques to detect pertechnetate in the environment have drawbacks. PNNL’s redox sensor technology uses a gold probe to accurately and efficiently measure low levels of pertechnetate—and possibly other contaminants—in groundwater

Researchers found that certain oxide interface configurations remain stable in extreme environments, suggesting ways to build better performing, more reliable devices for fuel cells, space-based electronics, and nuclear energy.

Performing nuclear safeguards work safely and developing the next generation workforce are complementary goals of a longstanding program sponsored by the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Office of International Nuclear Safeguards.
