A team of researchers developed a simulation approach to identify how atomic structures can affect the phonon transport of energy and information in quantum systems near absolute zero temperatures.
Scott Chambers creates layered structures of thin metal oxide films and studies their properties, creating materials not found in nature. He will soon move his instrumentation and research to the new Energy Sciences Center.
Rey Suarez is a nuclear nonproliferation researcher who is working on equipment that can detect radionuclides emitted from a nuclear explosion as part of treaty monitoring.
A paper by PNNL scientists on nuclear explosion monitoring technology is among top articles in nuclear instruments journal to draw most social media “buzz.”
The U.S. Department of Energy has selected the Scalable Predictive Methods for Excitations and Correlated Phenomena project to receive funding to develop software for chemical research.
The Washington State Academy of Sciences consists of more than 300 elected members who are nationally recognized for their scientific and technical expertise.
PNNL provided ultra-low measurements of argon-39 to date groundwater as part of a collaborative study of the aquifer in California’s San Joaquin Valley. PNNL is one of only a few laboratories worldwide with this capability.
The DOE Early Career Research Program supports exceptional researchers during the crucial early years of their careers and helps advance scientific discovery in fundamental sciences
With quantum chemistry, researchers led by PNNL computational scientist Simone Raugei are discovering how enzymes such as nitrogenase serve as natural catalysts that efficiently break apart molecular bonds to control energy and matter.
New 140,000-square-foot facility will advance fundamental chemistry and materials science for higher-performing, cost-effective catalysts and batteries, and other energy efficiency technologies.
