PermitAI’s newly released dataset, NEPATEC 2.0, captures and curates environmental review data for faster, better federal permitting.

Chemist Zheming Wang is the newest AAAS Fellow, joining the ranks of astronaut Mae Jemison, and Steven Chu, 1997 Nobel laureate in physics who served as the 12th U.S. Secretary of Energy.

How to keep stray radiation from “shorting” superconducting qubits; a pair of studies shows where ionizing radiation is lurking and how to banish it.

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

Visual Sample Plan, a free software tool developed at PNNL that boosts statistics-based planning, has been recognized with a 2024 Federal Laboratory Consortium Award.

Jie Xiao, a world leader in electrochemical energy storage, has received the E.O. Lawrence Award from the Department of Energy.

New facility will accelerate energy storage innovation, increase clean energy adoption and grid resilience.

Fundamental research conducted at the $90-million research facility will help the nation meet its clean energy goals.

PNNL has received 119 R&D 100 Awards since 1969, when the laboratory began submitting entries in the contest that recognizes top 100 inventions each year.

One effort toward better batteries for electric vehicles is hitting overdrive, thanks to new findings about the desirable silicon anode.

The Washington State Academy of Sciences consists of more than 300 elected members who are nationally recognized for their scientific and technical expertise.

Researchers have increased the lifetime of a promising electric vehicle battery to a record level.

New facility will accelerate energy storage innovation, increase clean energy adoption and grid resilience.

Ultra-trace radiation detection technique sets new global standard for measuring the nearly immeasurable.

Scientists have created a single-crystal, nickel-rich cathode that is hardier and more efficient than before—important progress on the road to better lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.

Researchers at PNNL have come up with a novel way to use silicon as an energy storage ingredient, replacing the graphite in electrodes. Silicon can hold 10 times the electrical charge per gram, but it comes with problems of its own.

Scientists have witnessed the formation of the solid-electrolyte interphase, a critical component in lithium-ion batteries.

Scientists have uncovered a root cause of the growth of needle-like structures—known as dendrites and whiskers—that plague lithium batteries, sometimes causing a short circuit, failure, or even a fire.

PNNL's latest distributed wind power report shows larger installations on the rise.

The vast reservoir of carbon stored beneath our feet is entering Earth's atmosphere at an increasing rate, according to a new study in the journal Nature.
