The Genesis Mission will mobilize the Department of Energy’s 17 National Laboratories, industry, and academia to build an integrated discovery platform.

This summer, PNNL hosted the inaugural “As Conductive As Copper” (AC2.0) workshop, fostering a collaborative conversation on the future of the U.S. copper supply chain.

Big energy storage science is brewing at GSL just one year after its groundbreaking.

New electees represent research in genomics, grid resilience, coastal ecology, and more.

Nine national laboratories, including PNNL, bring together over 1,000 scientists for a day to use AI to accelerate scientific discovery.

Mini flow cell battery provides the first step toward an AI-driven, robotic energy storage discovery laboratory.

PNNL chemical engineer Mariefel Olarte shares passion for mentoring students and the next-generation workforce.

A new analysis shows how renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydropower respond to climate patterns, and how utilities can use this data to save money and invest in energy storage.

PNNL researchers co-organized a workshop on fusion commercialization with partners from industry and academia

A new digital twin platform can help hydropower dam operators by providing accurate and predictive models of physical turbines that improve facilities and enhance reliability.

Research that modeled increased heat pump adoption alongside climate change impacts in Texas showed that high-efficiency heat pumps buffer the strain that electric heating might put on the power grid.

Three PNNL technologies have been named 2024 R&D 100 Award winners.

Although climate change may bring increased precipitation to many parts of the United States, some areas may face drier conditions and lower streamflow, resulting in decreased hydropower generation.

The Grid Storage Launchpad will enable researchers to accelerate and validate new battery materials and systems.

Climate change is bringing more extreme summer weather, from heat waves to hurricanes, that can disrupt the flow of electricity. Here’s how PNNL scientists are working on solutions to protect the nation’s electric grid.

PNNL computing experts Robert Rallo and Court Corley contribute their knowledge to a recent DOE report on applications of AI to energy, materials, and the power grid.

New research identifies the most important factors in successful fish passage, pointing toward new options for flexible dam operations.

New research simulates power demand, supply, and cost in a hotter, drier climate.

A new PNNL study quantifies hydropower's contribution to grid stability. When other power sources go out, hydropower can ramp up, recoup shortfalls, and stabilize the grid nearly instantaneously.

With an eye on renewable, accessible, and resilient power, PNNL researchers show hyper-local microgrids are a viable option, if designed with the right mix of sources.
