Attendees of both Fusion Week and the 13th annual Innovation Showcase united at PNNL to chart the milestones leading to a new energy landscape, from boosting the nation’s tritium supply to building commercial-scale fusion reactors.
PNNL’s BEACONS project is turning a Pasha Hawaii cargo route into a long-term Pacific observatory, collecting autonomous measurements of aerosols, clouds, and weather.
From studying the multisector ripple effects of extreme events to exploring the chemical reactions that underlie life on Earth, two up-and-coming PNNL scientists were recognized for their scientific vision and prowess.
Researchers discovered that frustrated electric forces drive a novel precipitation pathway called microphase separation and identified a precursor intermediate state of ordered ion networks.
A theoretical index linking precipitation and atmospheric evaporative demand explains historical land humidity changes across observations, reanalyses, and climate models.
Observations, reanalysis, and E3SMv3 experiments linked inter-annual variability of Congo Basin surface temperature to the zonal position of precipitation over the Indo-Pacific maritime continent region.
Watershed-based representation discretized into topographic subgrid units better captured small-scale land cover, precipitation, temperature, and snow variability across multiple spatial scales.
Using multiple specialized techniques, IDREAM researchers gained a better understanding of how trace impurities within gibbsite affect the hydrogen yield.
A team from PNNL joined the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate and first responders from across the country to evaluate commercially available unmanned ground vehicles for emergency response.
A perspective paper recently published by PNNL researchers underscores how the Lab’s research on electrochemical energy storage is preparing the electric grid to meet the energy needs of the future.
