PNNL scientists have created a tool called WatchOwl to collect more than 4 million tweets per day related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tool analyzes tweets related to interventions like social distancing and movement restrictions.
A cadre of physical scientists, engineers and computing experts at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is poised to participate in the launch of three new DOE Office of Science-sponsored quantum information science research centers.
As author of her first publication, PNNL bioinformaticist Isabelle O’Bryon developed the first forensic proteomics method to more quickly detect ricin, a toxin often crudely made in home laboratories that can kill in trace amounts.
After years of planning, building, and calibration, researchers at the Belle II accelerator experiment in Japan have published their first physics paper.
PNNL researchers and professional staff led discussions ranging from biothreats and climate change to science careers at the 2020 annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, held this year in Seattle.
First-of-its-kind network analysis on a supercomputer can speed real-time applications for cybersecurity, transportation, and infectious disease tracking
In a special edition of the Journal of Information Warfare, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers explore the revolution of technologies defending the nation’s critical infrastructure.
A new book by PNNL biochemist Erick Merkley details forensic proteomics, a technique that directly analyzes proteins in unknown samples, in pursuit of making proteomics a widespread forensic method when DNA is missing or ambiguous.
The world’s largest scientific society honored Sue B. Clark, a PNNL and WSU chemist, for contributions toward resolving our legacy of radioactive waste, advancing nuclear safeguards, and developing landmark nuclear research capabilities.
At a conference featuring the most advanced computing hardware and software, ML in its various guises was on full display and highlighted by Nathan Baker’s featured invited presentation.
B3? E4? Remember the board game Battleship? One player suggests a set of coordinates to another, hoping to find the elusive location of an unseen vessel.That is a good place to start in assessing the search for dark matter.
In today’s digital age, the rabbit hole of connected information can be not only a time sink, but downright overwhelming. Even for high-performance computers.
A gathering of international experts in Portland, Oregon, explored the future of electron microscopy and surfaced potential solutions in areas including new instrument designs, high-speed detectors, and data analytics capabilities.
Trouble on the electric grid might start with something relatively small: a downed power line, or a lightning strike at a substation. What happens next?
Network Collapse, a virtual reality science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) app developed by PNNL researchers, has won a Gold Award from the 2019 International Serious Play Award.
