A team of researchers reveal new insights about how nitrogenase does its job.

PNNL is advancing scientific frontiers and addressing challenges in energy, the environment and national security. So, in no particular order, here are PNNL's top 10 research accomplishments of 2018

Researchers developed a new hybrid catalyst that achieved chemo-selective and site-selective hydrogenation of aromatic molecules under low pressure of dihydrogen and mild temperature.

IDREAM researchers computed the first detailed free-energy landscape for the multistep dissolution of gibbsite

University of Notre Dame Ph.D. candidate Patricia Huestis teamed with WSU Ph.D. candidate Daniel Pope on an article for the national EFRC newsletter

Simulations reveal terrestrial factors and airflow as contributors to climate model challenges in producing rainfall over the world's largest rainforest.

Researchers used a suite of multi-model climate projections to explore shifts in tropical rainfall in response to warmer temperatures.

Steven Ghan, a climate researcher at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for more than 25 years, has been elected to the newest class of Fellows of the American Geophysical Union. His efforts transformed the ability for models to simulat

Kids lying on their backs in a grassy field might scan the clouds for images—perhaps a fluffy bunny here and a fiery dragon over there. Often, atmospheric scientists do the opposite—they search data images for the clouds

In an invited review for Nature Climate Change, scientists found that natural swings internal to the climate system played a larger role than previously thought in the expanding width of the tropics.

A new process-based model represents global changes in sediment and particulate organic carbon levels due to soil erosion, an important missing piece in Earth system models.
