Five PNNL innovations earned 2026 R&D 100 Awards for advances in biotechnology, manufacturing, critical minerals, and nuclear security.

PNNL Launches Center for Robotics and Autonomy to advance trustworthy autonomous science at speed and scale.

Genesis Mission awards to PNNL will advance scientific discovery, next-generation energy systems and advanced manufacturing, among others.

Scientists are optimizing microbes to harvest critical minerals and produce bioproducts using AI and autonomous lab equipment.

Automated liquid handling, combined with data analysis and AI, optimizes microbiological growth conditions at PNNL.

Autonomous science laboratories are taking shape quickly across the PNNL campus.

Secretary Wright visited PNNL's campus in Richland, Washington, late last year to meet with innovators in chemistry, biology, computing, and more.

Three PNNL researchers will receive five continuous years of funding for projects through highly competitive DOE Early Career Research Program awards.
