The first-of-its kind vessel will allow researchers to transport large equipment and take measurements in near-silence with reduced impact on wildlife.

At a one-day summit on PNNL’s Richland campus, scientists and engineers gather to hear from leaders and learn to lead others.

Ji-Guang (Jason) Zhang has been named the first Department of Energy Lab Innovator of the Year.

Once thought to cover too little of the Earth’s surface to affect climate at larger scales, new work finds that city sprawl does add to global warming—over land, at least.

Complex metal alloys enter a new era of predictive design for aerospace and other high-temperature applications.

Scientists unravel a secret to oil production in plants, opening up the possibility of increasing production for biofuels and other applications.

New research sheds light on the biomolecular dangers of night shift work.

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.

Vigorous exercise burns fat more in males than in females, but the benefits of exercise are broad for both sexes.

A nontoxic separation process recovers critical minerals from electronic scrap waste.

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