A PNNL study that evaluated the use of friction stir technology on stainless steel has shown that the steel resists erosion more than three times that of its unprocessed counterpart.

PNNL has developed a unique suite of tools that utilize satellite imagery to generate timely damage assessments with revealing detail.

His research is dedicated to the development of experimental tools and expertise critical for controlled synthesis and characterization of complex oxides, and gaining deep understanding of structure-composition-function relationships.

PNNL has developed a technology to manufacture rods and tubes directly from high-performance aluminum alloy powder—in just one single step.

PNNL’s Janet Jansson is part of an international team of scientists warning scientists of the urgency to pay more attention to the role of microorganisms in our climate.

Researchers develop tools to advance tomorrow’s infrastructure-to-vehicle communications and traffic routing concepts.

Yong Wang, a PNNL laboratory fellow, has received the 2019 Catalysis and Reaction Engineering Practice Award from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.

PNNL and collaborator LanzaTech were honored April 24 for their partnership in the development and commercialization of an ethanol-based synthetic paraffinic jet fuel that can use any sustainable ethanol as a feedstock.

The Soil Science Society of America presents Nik Qafoku with the 2019 Jackson Award for contributions in soil chemistry and mineralogy—ranging from agricultural fertilizer efficiency in Albania to soil contaminant transport at Hanford.

Data scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory examine the speed and scale of cryptocurrency discussion spread

A radioactive chemical called pertechnetate is a bad actor when it’s in nuclear waste tanks. But researchers at PNNL and the University of South Florida have a new lead on how to selectively separate it from the nuclear waste for treatment.

Scientists have taken one of the most detailed looks ever at levels of soluble amyloid beta in the brain.

Three years ago, a multi-disciplinary PNNL team led by Laboratory Fellow Pete McGrail devised a method to produce magnesium metal from salts extracted from sea water and other brine solutions.

PNNL has what’s believed to be a Heisenberg Cube and uses it to help train international border guards to detect illicit nuclear material movement.

PNNL scientist Wei-Jun Qian and colleagues have contributed to a study that offers clues for delaying or even preventing the autoimmune attack that’s at the core of type-1 diabetes.

Field campaign data from the U.S. Southern Great Plains are helping to improve model representations of these small yet influential clouds.

Researchers at PNNL are applying deep learning techniques to learn more about neutrinos, part of a worldwide network of researchers trying to understand one of the universe’s most elusive particles.

Researchers at PNNL have developed a patent-pending technique for a faster and improved way to count bacteria and measure their growth, without killing the sample, by using a white light interferometer. 

PNNL researchers today published a pair of papers, in Cell and in Nature, exploring the effects of the gut microbiome on our health, including autism, brain function, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Many of the ultimate applications of PNNL’s nuclear science and engineering capabilities rely on building a fundamental understanding of how materials behave while undergoing irradiation or in radioactive environments.
