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

Combining advanced powder synthesis with solid state processing allows researchers to streamline oxide dispersion-strengthened steel fabrication.

Focused research studies of advanced algorithms and materials are setting the stage for the next generation of quantum computers.

Different sized helium cavities that form after ion irradiation are unevenly distributed in a ductile-phase toughened tungsten composite.

Recognizing how innovation and clean technologies at the very edge of the grid can work together to transition the electricity system, PNNL takes a multidisciplinary approach to advancing and integrating renewable energy solutions.

IDREAM researchers assess the potential of photon-in/photon-out XFEL techniques to explore early time reaction steps and ultimately improve nuclear waste processing strategies.

Steven Spurgeon, a materials scientist and microscopy researcher at PNNL, has accepted an affiliate associate professorship at the University of Washington Department of Physics.

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.

The annual Secretary’s Honor Awards recognize federal and contractor employees who have shown exceptional creativity, drive, and commitment to projects that have lasting impact on the Department of Energy's mission.

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.

Electrical engineer Aditya Ashok and cybersecurity researcher Thomas Edgar win best paper award for their work to create a new high-fidelity dataset that will help advance cybersecurity solutions for critical infrastructure protection.

Brent VanDevender is an experimental nuclear physicist and the program manager for nuclear physics research at PNNL.

Rey Suarez is a nuclear nonproliferation researcher who is working on equipment that can detect radionuclides emitted from a nuclear explosion as part of treaty monitoring.

A paper by PNNL scientists on nuclear explosion monitoring technology is among top articles in nuclear instruments journal to draw most social media “buzz.”

With a focus on prevention, PNNL researchers are working to predict droughts, enhance grid resilience, and manage forests to reduce wildfire.

The Washington State Academy of Sciences consists of more than 300 elected members who are nationally recognized for their scientific and technical expertise.

PNNL provided ultra-low measurements of argon-39 to date groundwater as part of a collaborative study of the aquifer in California’s San Joaquin Valley. PNNL is one of only a few laboratories worldwide with this capability.
