After 20 years of contributions to the field of hydrogen safety, the Hydrogen Safety Panel launched its new mentoring program at PNNL earlier this year. Now, the program has selected its first two mentees.

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 highlights the lack of sufficient eco-geomorphological observations to constrain Earth system models. This emphasizes the need for coordinated observations at various elevations across diverse wetland sites to reduce uncertainty.

A Helios Hydra UX DualBeam, which utilizes a plasma focused ion beam and scanning electron microscope for sample preparation and analysis, was installed at the Grid Storage Launchpad.

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

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.

A new database allows researchers to connect lattice parameters and composition in olivine.

New methodology can evaluate the potential for carbon storage and critical mineral recovery in undercharacterized geological settings.

Research that modeled increased heat pump adoption alongside climate change impacts in Texas showed that high-efficiency heat pumps buffer the strain that electric heating might put on the power grid.

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

PNNL introduces students to career opportunities in energy sciences through Pathway Summer School programs.

Pasco School District educators joined Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for an immersive learning experience through the RENEW STEM Institute.

The Sodium-ion Alliance for Grid Energy Storage, led by PNNL, is focused on demonstrating high-performance, low-cost, safe sodium-ion batteries tested for real-world grid applications.

PNNL's McDearis and Rod designed a new device—a porous soil stake—that, once installed, enables repeated sampling of a specific soil site at multiple depths, without further disrupting the soil.

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

A newly funded project will develop the fundamental understanding of phenomena that underpin material properties important for quantum applications.

Secretary Granholm praises heat pump workforce development efforts at this year's instructor training program.

This study evaluated the sensitivity of multiple geophysical methods to measure and evaluate the spatiotemporal variability of select soil properties across terrestrial–aquatic interfaces.

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.
