Chemist Wendy Shaw, a nationally recognized scientific leader, has been chosen to serve as the associate laboratory director for PNNL's Physical and Computational Sciences Directorate.
Three PNNL technologies have been declared winners of 2025 Federal Laboratory Consortium Awards, named for a program that recognizes federal laboratories and their industry partners for outstanding technology transfer achievements.
A new research partnership between PNNL and the University of Nevada, Reno aims to tackle critical challenges such as climate change, infrastructure resilience and cybersecurity.
First-ever measurements provide evidence that supercooled water exists in two distinct structures that co-exist and vary in proportion dependent on temperature.
PNNL researcher Bruce Kay has been elected to membership in the Washington State Academy of sciences and three other staff members have been elected to positions on the WSAS board of directors.
Nora Wang, an energy efficiency researcher at PNNL, is one of 82 early-career engineers from across the country invited to participate in the annual NAE Frontiers of Engineering symposium.
The U.S. could slash its energy use by the equivalent of what is currently used by 12 to 15 million Americans if commercial buildings fully used energy-efficiency controls nationwide.
Working with researchers with Tokyo Tech's World Research Hub Initiative in Japan and Canada, Xantheas will combine laboratory methods with computational explorations to study the biological functions of serotonin and nicotine.
For the first time, researchers have measured the force that draws tiny crystals together and visualized how they swivel and align. Called van der Waals forces, the attraction provides insights into how crystals self-assemble, an activity t
Bo Peng, a Linus Pauling Fellow and molecular sciences researcher at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, was recognized at the Sanibel Symposium with the Löwdin Postdoctoral Associate Award.
At next week's American Chemical Society meeting, experts spanning a wide range of disciplines will get together to toss around ideas on technologies to capture the carbon dioxide.
Water is unlike other substances because its solid form — like this iceberg — is less dense than its liquid form — like this ocean. Scientists are studying other weird properties of water.
