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.

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.

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

The National Transmission Planning Study presents several transmission expansion scenarios that would reliably support the growing demand for energy across the nation.

New transmission lines and renewable energy projects would bring economic and climate change benefits to the Western United States’s electricity grid.

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

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.

A new iron-based aqueous flow battery shows promise for grid energy storage applications.

PNNL scientists have put forth a new approach to protect the electric grid, creating an approach that sorts and prioritizes cyber threats on the fly.

Results of the PR100 study outline near- and short-term strategies for Puerto Rico to achieve a renewable power grid by 2050.

Understanding the risk of compound energy droughts—times when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow—will help grid planners understand where energy storage is needed most.

Floating offshore wind farms could potentially triple the Pacific Northwest's wind power capacity while offsetting billions of dollars in costs for utilities, ratepayers, insurance companies, and others.

A new flow battery design achieves long life and capacity for grid energy storage from renewable fuels.

A new sodium battery technology shows promise for helping integrate renewable energy into the electric grid. The battery uses Earth-abundant raw materials such as aluminum and sodium.

EGRASS helps prepare and fortify critical structures to protect against the worst consequences of new hurricanes.

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

New facility will accelerate energy storage innovation, increase clean energy adoption and grid resilience.

Scientists have created a battery designed for the electric grid that locks in energy for months without losing much storage capacity.
