Radiation from natural sources in the environment can limit the performance of superconducting quantum bits, known as qubits. The discovery has implications for quantum computing and for the search for dark matter.

Quantum computing experts gather in the Pacific Northwest to discuss challenges and progress.

A multi-institute research team is exploring ways to improve residential walls across America, making homes warmer and drier and delivering significant energy savings.

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.

Researchers at PNNL are applying deep learning techniques to learn more about neutrinos, part of a worldwide network of researchers trying to understand one of the universe’s most elusive particles.

Researchers at PNNL construct a novel approach that requires less field work while delivering critical information on building code compliance and energy efficiency in new homes.

A PNNL researcher peers into the future and sees homes and neighborhoods seamlessly working together to coordinate energy use.

Following the energy crisis of 2000-2001, the State of Washington received financial settlements from six energy companies, a fraction of which was used for energy-efficiency research.

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

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