A newly developed, highly conductive copper wire could find applications in the electric grid, as well as in homes and businesses. The finding defies what's been thought about how metals conduct electricity.

A team of researchers received an award for their contributions to improving the operational readiness and safety posture of the firefighter community by conducting a rigorous evaluation of commercially available equipment.

PNNL researchers comment on the “Adversarial Machine Learning” white paper from the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

PNNL has created the Center for AI @PNNL to coordinate the pioneering research of hundreds of scientists working on a range of projects in artificial intelligence.

If current warming trends continue, heat waves like Washington's deadliest could grow stronger and afflict the Pacific Northwest more often.

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.

PNNL is one of the founding partners of the Trillion Parameter Consortium, which was formed to create reliable generative AI models.

This is the first time a flow battery with 24-hour discharge capacity will be deployed and tested in a field environment.

Scientists recently developed a flow direction model which produces high-quality flow routing parameters on any mesh system.

Researchers use models to represent relationships between climate and socio-economic processes, helping inform decisions for slowing climate change and enhancing resilience.

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

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

Battery energy storage systems are being proposed in municipalities across the U.S. PNNL researchers can help community planners guide safe siting and operations.

Investigating the impact of global warming on mesoscale convective systems initiation and growth with a theoretical model.

Understanding the contrasting response in relative humidity at ocean and land surfaces under global warming.

The cross-equatorial surge enhances the southward development of the Madden–Julian oscillation because of increased moisture convergence.

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.

The roles of the various environmental variables in the transition from suppressed to active tropical precipitation regimes are characterized using statistical analysis and machine learning.

This study revealed that fresh organic vapors are soluble in particulate organics that are actively growing in size. However, if the particulate matter ages, fresh organic vapors can no longer mix with the organic matter.
