The 2024 Jack Simons Award honor recognizes Li for his expertise in integrating chemistry with computing for fundamental science research.

IDREAM scientists capture electronic response to ionization.

Tennessee State University received Department of Energy funding to establish an academy focused on preparing students and professionals to work in an emerging field: clean energy systems. PNNL is helping with that effort and others.

A new quantum algorithm speeds up simulations of coupled oscillator dynamics.

Researchers at PNNL devised a new workflow for integrating life cycle analysis into building design, aided by a computational method that adapts existing software to net-zero energy, carbon-negative homes.

GUV can reduce transmission of airborne disease while reducing energy use and carbon emissions. But fulfilling that promise depends on having accurate and verifiable performance data.

IDREAM research shows the size of cations in highly concentrated nitrite solutions affects the production of radicals.

As new paradigms in advanced computing take shape, computational chemistry researchers are finding new ways to solve challenging chemistry problems.

Researchers from PNNL have been assessing installation and use of electric heat pumps in an Alaskan community that relies on fuel oil for heat. The resulting information could advance electrification in cold rural areas across the nation.

In a new approach, quantum flow algorithms are used to simulate many-body systems on quantum computers and effectively describe chemical processes.

Researchers are developing and deploying solutions to reduce risk and increase efficiency while keeping people and the environment safe.

Scientists stop the motion of atoms to watch electrons move in liquid water.

PNNL helps deliver efficiency-related rules and requirements that steadily improve performance of America’s buildings, saving energy and costs and reducing carbon emissions.

Differences in water interactions lead to two gibbsite dissolution pathways modulated by solution acidity.

Irradiation in a sodium hydroxide solution increases the dissolution rate and particle roughness of gibbsite compared to dry irradiation.

Harish Gadey, David Peeler, and Tom Brouns named to Waste Management Symposia Program Advisory Committee positions to help develop radioactive waste management discussions.

Mandy Mahoney, director of the DOE Building Technologies Office, visited PNNL in late November. One key agenda item involved meeting with staff for a discussion of effective equity and justice integration in buildings-related research.

Resolving how nanoparticles come together is important for industry and environmental remediation. New work predicts nanoparticle aggregation behavior across a wide range of scales for the first time.

PNNL chemical engineer Reid Peterson helped develop the process to pretreat Hanford Site tank waste by removing cesium-137.

From air-sealing windows and checking for leaky ducts to insulating the attic, PNNL researchers offer tips on how to keep a home warm in winter weather.
