Stripping inactive components from raw materials on a molecular scale improves hybrid battery performance.

A contract has been awarded to design and construct a 24,000-square-foot Collaboration Center, which will allow PNNL to host larger scientific meetings and increase collaboration among researchers and other scientific institutions.

An unexpected discovery has led to a zinc-manganese oxide rechargeable battery that's as inexpensive as conventional car batteries, but has a much higher energy density.

Steve Jobs said, "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower." That is especially true in research and development. New technologies and creative solutions do not materialize overnight or on their own.

PNNL has licensed a tool that analyzes the combination of cyber and physical threats which can uncover vulnerabilities that may not be apparent by looking at them separately.

Scientists can now analyze and separate atoms and molecules according to their size and molecular structure with a clarity and precision well beyond conventional mass spectrometers, thanks to the new 21 Tesla Ultra-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometer.
