Experiments focus on catalysts for off-road vehicles that optimize the use of critical minerals while lasting longer and costing less.

PNNL has created and licensed a system that sniffs out trace levels of fentanyl, other drugs and explosives through the air.

In the search for rare physics events, extremely pure materials are essential. A partnership between PNNL and Ultramet has led to tungsten with low contamination from other elements.

Erik Lentz and Christian Boutan will research quantum information science-enabled discoveries in high energy physics with these awards.

Scientists are developing ways to detect previously unseen forms of fentanyl as well as other synthetic opioids known as nitazenes.

The search for dark matter includes expertise in radio frequency signal detection, quantum sensing, and high-energy physics at PNNL.

A cross-institutional team of scientists developed PeakQC, a new software tool for automated quality control of mass spectrometry data.

Ljiljana Paša-Tolić, a PNNL fellow, is the recipient of the 2024 International Mass Spectrometry Foundation’s Jochen Franzen Award. 

Scientists have developed a way to detect tiny amounts of hard-to-detect explosives more than eight feet away.

A team of researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory developed a new and flexible software tool called “Advanced Spectra PCA Toolbox.”

Vigorous exercise burns fat more in males than in females, but the benefits of exercise are broad for both sexes.

Three PNNL-affiliated researchers have been named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest multidisciplinary scientific society.

PNNL scientists took thousands of measurements of firefighters in training to learn more about how the body responds to vigorous exercise.

Less pollution and the odd shapes of snow grains as they pack together should help cut the decline of snowpack later this century.

PNNL’s Richard Saldanha will lead a new project to benchmark and validate models of cosmic ray exposure

In a new paper, researchers point to three major efforts where the biggest climate mitigation gains stand to be realized: ramping up carbon dioxide removal, reigning in non-carbon dioxide emissions and halting deforestation.
