Understanding the risk of compound energy droughts—times when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow—will help grid planners understand where energy storage is needed most.

Floating offshore wind farms could potentially triple the Pacific Northwest's wind power capacity while offsetting billions of dollars in costs for utilities, ratepayers, insurance companies, and others.

The Washington State Academy of Sciences added six people from PNNL to its 2022 class of inductees.

DOE to invest with PNNL in streamlining the commercialization of national laboratory innovations.

PNNL has received 119 R&D 100 Awards since 1969, when the laboratory began submitting entries in the contest that recognizes top 100 inventions each year.

The Washington State Academy of Sciences consists of more than 300 elected members who are nationally recognized for their scientific and technical expertise.

A new study projects that electricity demand tied to cooling U.S. buildings will grow as peak temperatures rise, and so too would the need for an expanded power sector.

Ultra-trace radiation detection technique sets new global standard for measuring the nearly immeasurable.

Washington and Oregon coastlines hold most promising areas to pull power from West Coast waves, according to a recent study on wave energy.

Two PNNL researchers, one a world-leading authority on microorganisms, the other an expert on coastal ecosystem restoration, have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

The Ocean Observing Prize is a competitive incentive program to help inventors advance new concepts for marine energy technologies that can power ocean observing systems, particularly those that inform us about hurricane formation.

On World Oceans Day, an international team of marine scientists reports that the potential impact of marine renewable energy to marine life is likely small or undetectable, though some uncertainty remains.

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE’s) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory issued its annual report on distributed wind.

PNNL's latest distributed wind power report shows larger installations on the rise.

Scientists are exploring the use of deep neural network to interpret highly technical data related to national security, the environment and the cosmos.

PNNL's ultra pure copper and cooler part of search for answers about matter

Radiochemical Processing Laboratory: Now a nuclear historic landmark.

PNNL scientists served as lead guest editors for a special issue of the Journal of Applied Radiation and Isotopes.

Scientist-detectives put themselves to the test.

PNNL's ThermalTracker software analyzes video with night vision, the same technology that helps soldiers see in the dark, to help offshore wind power be bird- and bat-friendly.
