PNNL quantum computing pioneer Nathan Wiebe contributed to a Google-led quantum computing landmark study published in the journal Science.

In a new review, PNNL researchers outline how to convert stranded biomass to sustainable fuel using electrochemical reduction reactions in mini-refineries powered by renewable energy.

First-ever measurements provide evidence that supercooled water exists in two distinct structures that co-exist and vary in proportion dependent on temperature.

PNNL Lab fellow and Earth scientist Nik Qafoku earns highest recognition from the Soil Science Society of America.

The three-year project funded by DOE’s Basic Energy Sciences program will focus on using electrochemistry to capture ambient carbon dioxide.

PNNL materials scientist Ram Devanathan named Fellow and chemist Dave Heldebrant keynotes at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2020 meeting.

Pacific Northwest marsh carbon stocks are twice the global average. Long-term sea-level rise impacts will likely decrease ecosystem carbon stocks.

A new PNNL report says the western U.S. power system can handle large-scale vehicle electrification up to 24 million vehicles through 2028, but more than that and cities could start feeling the squeeze.

Researchers at PNNL have developed a software tool that helps universities, small business, and corporate developers to design better batteries with new materials that hold more energy.

Jian Liu, a chemical engineer at PNNL, was selected as co-editor for the Elsevier book, Nanoporous Materials for Molecule Separation and Conversion.

PNNL and WSU researchers have improved the performance and life cycle of sodium-ion battery technology to narrow the gap with some lithium-ion batteries.

Deepika Malhotra, an organic chemist at PNNL, will lend her expertise to help shape the content and quality of Pollutants a new, interdisciplinary, open access, journal focusing on a range of environmental science research.

Researchers at PNNL have come up with a novel way to use silicon as an energy storage ingredient, replacing the graphite in electrodes. Silicon can hold 10 times the electrical charge per gram, but it comes with problems of its own.

Malhotra, a chemist, will apply her expertise on designing and creating modular solvents for carbon capture, acid gas separations, catalysis, and rare earth metal extractions to provide constructive review for the submitted manuscripts.

Scientists have witnessed the formation of the solid-electrolyte interphase, a critical component in lithium-ion batteries.

Researchers have identified two processes responsible for fracturing rock at lower pressures for geothermal energy production using PNNL’s fracturing fluid, StimuFrac™.

Researchers at PNNL are contributing artificial intelligence, machine learning, and app development expertise to a U of W project that will ease challenges with urban freight delivery. The project will provide delivery drivers with a tool

Global climate change is often at the forefront of national and international discussions and controversies, yet many details of the specific contributing factors are poorly understood.

Scientists have uncovered a root cause of the growth of needle-like structures—known as dendrites and whiskers—that plague lithium batteries, sometimes causing a short circuit, failure, or even a fire.

PNNL researchers have created a chemical cocktail that could help electric cars power their way through extreme temperatures where current lithium-ion batteries don’t operate as efficiently as needed.
