Researchers are uncovering the secrets of a fast-acting molecular messaging network that helps determine how the genetic code plays out.

PNNL is hosting a scientific conference focused directly on understanding and predicting the collection of an organism’s traits.

Circadian rhythms of blue-green microbes offer new window into predictive phenomics—how to predict and control the traits of an organism.

This week at AAAS, PNNL scientists discuss phenomics and the factors that influence DNA instructions to bring about the world around us.

Scientists plumbed the depths of nearly 3,000 soil samples from around the globe to compile the heftiest atlas of soil viruses ever created.

A newly developed, highly conductive copper wire could find applications in the electric grid, as well as in homes and businesses. The finding defies what's been thought about how metals conduct electricity.

The PNNL-patented ShAPE™ manufacturing process produces high-strength aluminum vehicle parts that lower costs and are more environmentally friendly.

Soil and its microbial inhabitants from Washington state are heading for the International Space Station today.

PNNL will demonstrate how new technologies, innovative approaches and partnering with others can lead to net-zero emissions and decarbonization of operations.

One effort toward better batteries for electric vehicles is hitting overdrive, thanks to new findings about the desirable silicon anode.

Researchers have increased the lifetime of a promising electric vehicle battery to a record level.

Scientists have created a single-crystal, nickel-rich cathode that is hardier and more efficient than before—important progress on the road to better lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.

Two PNNL researchers, one a world-leading authority on microorganisms, the other an expert on coastal ecosystem restoration, have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Clarivate Analytics recently unveiled its 2020 list of Highly Cited Researchers. The list named 17 PNNL scientists for their influential and oft-referenced work.

A new PNNL report says the western U.S. power system can handle large-scale vehicle electrification up to 24 million vehicles through 2028, but more than that and cities could start feeling the squeeze.

A new study is among the first to trace the molecular connections between genetics, the gut microbiome and memory in a mouse model bred to resemble the diversity of the human population.

Researchers at PNNL have come up with a novel way to use silicon as an energy storage ingredient, replacing the graphite in electrodes. Silicon can hold 10 times the electrical charge per gram, but it comes with problems of its own.

Scientists have witnessed the formation of the solid-electrolyte interphase, a critical component in lithium-ion batteries.

Scientists have uncovered a root cause of the growth of needle-like structures—known as dendrites and whiskers—that plague lithium batteries, sometimes causing a short circuit, failure, or even a fire.

Fifteen PNNL scientists are part of a team that has identified a set of biomarkers that indicate which patients infected with the Ebola virus are most at risk of dying from the disease.
