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.

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

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

New software aids in modernizing the nation's irrigation systems.

Study says planners need to account for climate impacts on renewable energy during capacity development planning to fully understand investment implications to the power sector.

PNNL has published a report that sets the foundation for modeling gaps and technical challenges in optimizing hydropower operations for both energy production and water management.

California and other areas of the U.S. Southwest may see less future winter precipitation than previously projected by climate models, according to new research that corrects for a long-standing model error: the double-ITCZ bias.

Culminating 10 years of study, researchers at PNNL’s Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory developed a new predictive framework for estuarine–tidal river research and management.

After years of planning, building, and calibration, researchers at the Belle II accelerator experiment in Japan have published their first physics paper.

B3? E4? Remember the board game Battleship? One player suggests a set of coordinates to another, hoping to find the elusive location of an unseen vessel.That is a good place to start in assessing the search for dark matter.

While some of us may periodically ponder the universe, most of us don't dedicate our lives to studying its mysteries, including its birth, evolution and fate.

DOE gives go ahead for SuperCDMS — one of the world's most sensitive dark matter experiments.

Scientists detect phenomenon in lab that occurs during neutron star formation and supernovae explosions.

To study some of the tiniest particles in the universe, an international band of physicists is building a massive instrument to look for signs of particles predicted to be fundamental to the workings of the universe.

The search for dark matter called spin-dependent WIMPS is on — in an underground lab in Canada

For decades, the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has played a role in establishing and maintaining sustainable hydropower for the region.

Here at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, much of our physics research focuses on fundamental scientific discovery and national security.
