Resolving how nanoparticles come together is important for industry and environmental remediation. New work predicts nanoparticle aggregation behavior across a wide range of scales for the first time.

Input from humans helps when deciding whether to trust the recommendations or decisions of a machine-learning system.

PNNL chemical engineer Reid Peterson helped develop the process to pretreat Hanford Site tank waste by removing cesium-137.

PNNL’s DataLife tool analyzes and identifies bottlenecks in scientific workflows.

A novel electrode functionalization strategy enables efficient removal of toxic heavy metals from wastewater.

1-propanol converts from a monomer into a trimer at aluminum sites within zeolite pores.

The use of disciplines in pure mathematics can increase the reliability and explainability of machine learning models that “transcend human intuition,” according to PNNL scientists.

Soil is a massive reservoir of carbon, holding three times the amount of carbon than in the atmosphere. Soil is a massive reservoir of carbon, holding three times the amount of carbon than in the atmosphere.

Researchers designed a new, highly efficient, stable redox-active material from neutral red dye that can efficiently capture CO2 from air.

Tumeo will lead the ChemComp project, which was awarded for Exploratory Research in Extreme Scale Science

Converting seawater into hydrogen fuel using electrochemistry offers a renewable energy future for Guam.

PNNL researchers are key contributors to GAO report

Robert Rallo from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will direct a machine learning thrust for a new Department of Energy-funded project led by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

Metabolism metrics provide information about biological activity and carbon cycling in rivers. Conditions in large rivers differ from smaller rivers and require adjustments to existing methods.
