A combined experimental and theoretical study identified multiple interactions that affect the performance of redox-active metal oxides for potential electrochemical separation and quantum computing applications.
Materials science postdoctoral researcher Jingshan Du received a Distinguished Student Program award to participate in the American Physical Society meeting.
Thin oxide films play an important role in electronics and energy storage. Researchers in PNNL’s film growth laboratory create, explore, and improve new thin oxide films.
Staff at PNNL recently completed a report highlighting commercial products enabled through projects funded by the Department of Energy’s Building Technologies Office.
The Simple Building Calculator, developed at PNNL, meets a need for a quick, interactive, and economic method to evaluate energy use—and potential savings from efficiency measures—in simple commercial buildings.
For a second year in a row, doctoral intern Jack Watson was awarded the Student Merit Award by the Society for Risk Analysis and the Resilience Analysis Specialty group.
Five staff members from PNNL received awards from the Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program for contributions to projects for the U.S. Army.
A new version of the Department of Energy’s Technical Resilience Navigator allows users to prioritize resilience solutions based on both risk reduction and emissions impact.
PNNL’s Ján Drgoňa and Draguna Vrabie are part of an international team that authored a most-cited paper on Model Predictive Control, an approach for improving operations, energy efficiency, and comfort in buildings.
PNNL’s Reid Hart and Bing Liu have earned individual Champions of Energy Efficiency in Buildings awards from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.
Plastic upcycling efficiently converts plastics to valuable commodity chemicals while using less of the precious metal ruthenium. The method could recycle waste plastic pollution into useful products, helping keep it out of landfills.
