Tiny particles fuel powerful storms and influence weather much more than has been appreciated, according to a study by PNNL scientists and colleagues in the journal Science.
A new research approach to geoengineering could potentially be used to limit Earth's warming to a specific target while reducing some of the risks and concerns identified in past studies.
PNNL scientist Janet Jansson led scores of scientists who published in the journal Nature the most extensive snapshot ever of the vast microbial life on Earth.

Six energy technologies that do everything from protect fish to monitor the health of flow batteries are getting a boost at PNNL with support from DOE's Technology Commercialization Fund.
PNNL's ThermalTracker software analyzes video with night vision, the same technology that helps soldiers see in the dark, to help offshore wind power be bird- and bat-friendly.
Jiwen Fan has been selected to receive a 2017 Early Career Research Program award from the U.S. Department of Energy and will use the award to study severe thunderstorms in the central United States.
America's use of distributed wind — which is wind power generated near where it will be used — continues to grow, according to the 2016 Distributed Wind Market Report.
