A new study suggests accessing groundwater in key regions could become prohibitively expensive as lower-cost stores are used up.

New work finds hurricanes are intensifying faster close to the coast—a trend that’s likely to ramp up in a warmer world.

A new iron-based aqueous flow battery shows promise for grid energy storage applications.

PNNL scientists have put forth a new approach to protect the electric grid, creating an approach that sorts and prioritizes cyber threats on the fly.

ChatGrid is a practical application of the Department of Energy’s exascale computing efforts and offers a new experience in easy, intuitive, and interactive data interaction.

Scientists stop the motion of atoms to watch electrons move in liquid water.

Results of the PR100 study outline near- and short-term strategies for Puerto Rico to achieve a renewable power grid by 2050.

The convergence of artificial intelligence, cloud, and high-performance computing to accelerate scientific discovery is the focus of a multi-year collaboration between Microsoft and PNNL.

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.

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.

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

Less pollution and the odd shapes of snow grains as they pack together should help cut the decline of snowpack later this century.

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.

In a new paper, researchers point to three major efforts where the biggest climate mitigation gains stand to be realized: ramping up carbon dioxide removal, reigning in non-carbon dioxide emissions and halting deforestation.

Scientists have developed a better way to recognize denial-of-service internet attacks, improving detection by 90 percent.

A new flow battery design achieves long life and capacity for grid energy storage from renewable fuels.

Using a combination of satellite data and modeling to study the temperatures and humidity people might feel in urban areas, researchers have pinpointed who in the U.S. is most vulnerable to heat stress.

Researchers have knitted together three large databases of information to help cybersecurity experts detect and prevent attacks.
