Developing a new scheme to more efficiently solve quantum chemistry problems.

Increasing concentrations of ions slows the rate of particle aggregation in boehmite suspensions.

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.

Electronic structure codes in a cloud environment can enable efficient computational chemistry simulations.

Molecular simulations highlight the key interactions between mineral surfaces and organic matter that lead to carbon stabilization in soils.

CACTUS provides AI-powered cheminformatics for autonomous science.

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.

A team of researchers recently coordinated a series of international workshops aimed at enhancing chemical research security and fostering collaboration among scientists and academic researchers from both countries.

New IDREAM research explores the effects of electrolyte species on boehmite nanoparticle aggregation in legacy wastes.

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.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers developed a new theoretical method for studying highly correlated systems.

The demand for energy is growing—and so is the technology supporting it. However, future development of power generation technologies could be affected by a key factor: material supply.

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.

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.

Over the past three years, PNNL’s Know Your Collaborator (KYC) workshop series has engaged hundreds of academic partners and institutional researchers internationally on the topic of research security.

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of isolated deep convection & mesoscale convective systems using self-organizing maps to categorize large-scale meteorological patterns and a tracking algorithm to monitor their life cycle.
