For PNNL’s Jonathan Evarts, Hope Lackey, and Erik Reinhart, this partnership with WSU opened doors and provided opportunities for their scientific careers to flourish.

In 2006, battery research was practically non-existent at PNNL. Today, the lab is lauded for its battery research. How did PNNL go from a new player to a leader in state-of-the-art storage for EVs and the grid?

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

A new discovery by PNNL researchers has illuminated a previously unknown key mechanism that could inform the development of new, more effective catalysts for abating NOx emissions from combustion-engines burning diesel or low carbon fuel.

DOE Basic Energy Sciences 2023 “Poetry of Science Art Contest” aims to educate and inspire; voting for the People’s Choice Award closes September 15.

Despite severe drought, a new report shows that hydropower remains a strong and steadfast contributor of renewable energy in the West.

Near-real-time fish tracking using a new acoustic receiver developed by PNNL can support enhanced fish passage through hydropower dams.

A new fitness tracker that’s very much like a ‘Fitbit for fish’ is revealing new information about fish health and behavior.

A unique data set following Chinook salmon as they negotiate hydroelectric dams on the Columbia River is now available to researchers worldwide.

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.

Free, publicly available tool to help estimate value of pumped storage hydropower project services.

Two PNNL interns are behind recent innovation in real-time testing and continuous monitoring for pH and the concentration of chemicals of interest in chemical solutions; outcomes have applicability not only to nuclear, but to industries.

PNNL report reflects 10 years of dedication to effectively plan for the safe and uneventful removal of radioactive waste from nuclear power plants.

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

PNNL scientists developed a new, tiny battery and tag to track younger, smaller species, to evaluate behavior and estimate survival during downstream migration.

PNNL’s infrared pulsed heating technique reveals supercooled water’s weird behavior; opens door to other fluid studies at new Energy Sciences Center.

PNNL is developing the Digital Twins for Hydropower framework to help the industry to affordably modernize the aging hydropower fleet.

Spent nuclear fuel is being recycled to make new fuel through rapid separation and tight control of uranium and plutonium.

PNNL and four other national laboratories executed the Hydropower Value Study to examine hydropower operations in different regions of the United States.
