PNNL has published a report that sets the foundation for modeling gaps and technical challenges in optimizing hydropower operations for both energy production and water management.
Beginning in 2021, PNNL chemical physicist Bruce Kay begins a three-year term as an AVS trustee, part of a six-member committee responsible for overseeing the administration of student scholarships and major society awards.
As COVID-19 was limiting in-person contact, halting travel, and creating additional barriers, researchers at PNNL were working to find solutions on how they could still get work done while establishing new safety protocols.
PNNL researchers say that offshore wind energy can add value to the electric grid, beyond just the power it can produce, if locations and strategies are optimized.
PNNL’s longstanding grid and buildings capabilities are driving two projects that test transactive energy concepts on a grand scale and lay the groundwork for a more efficient U.S. energy system.
Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are closer to understanding how iron may pave the way for sequestration of technetium-99 contaminants in the subsurface.
PNNL is one of the collaborating partners on a new grid-scale solar and energy storage installation near the PNNL campus in a project led by Energy Northwest.
Like a toxic Trojan horse, microplastics can act as hot pockets of contaminant transport. But, can microplastics get into plant cells? Recent research shows that they can't.
PNNL scientists have developed a catalyst that converts ethanol into C5+ ketones that can serve as the building blocks for everything from solvents to jet fuel.
In recognition of Nuclear Science Week on Oct. 19-23, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reflects on more than half a century of advancing nuclear science for the nation’s energy, environment, and security frontiers.
The American Society for Quality (ASQ) has recognized Laboratory Fellow and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Statistician Greg Piepel with the William G. Hunter Award.
Culminating 10 years of study, researchers at PNNL’s Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory developed a new predictive framework for estuarine–tidal river research and management.
PNNL’s Heida Diefenderfer was recently appointed to a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committee that will assess long-term environmental trends in the Gulf of Mexico region.
