Rebecca O’Neil, a research principal in the Energy and Environment Directorate at PNNL, was invited to testify before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Energy.
A decade after working as a post-bachelor’s researcher at PNNL, chemist Quin Miller is helping develop the workforce for the critical minerals-focused mines of the future.
The Hanford Site is now immobilizing radioactive waste in glass: a process known as vitrification. PNNL contributed 60 years of materials science expertise—and is providing operational support—to help the nation meet this cleanup milestone.
Now, anyone can easily explore and access data from a nationwide map of data centers, the infrastructure that powers them, and projections of future data center locations.
Summarizing the state of designed protein hybrid materials, researchers celebrate both the 50th anniversary of the MRS Bulletin and the 2025 Fred Kavli Distinguished Lecturers in Materials Science, Jim De Yoreo and David Baker.
The PNNL-developed UF6 Gas Enrichment Sensor (UGES) prototype is the next generation of a previous enrichment monitoring device—namely the Online Enrichment Monitor. UGES will increase the accuracy of uranium measurements.
A modeling study shows that adding batteries to a dam could decrease the wear and tear on hydropower turbines and open up new opportunities for dam operators to earn revenue.
Localized gradients in magnetic fields have long-range effects on the concentration of rare earth ions in solution, facilitating field-driven extraction of critical minerals.
