2021 marks the largest cohort of PNNL authors and co-authors to be recognized at annual Waste Management Symposia for environmental management research.

PNNL senior electrical engineer, Amy Qiao, tapped to serve IEEE Photonics Society Emerging Technologies Task Force.

A shoe scanner may allow people passing through security screening to keep their shoes on. PNNL built the scanner based on the same technology it used to develop airport scanners. It's licensed to Liberty Defense.

Understanding the Earth as a complex, dynamic system includes investigating what happens on, above and below its surface.

On the looming 10th anniversary of the Fukushima disaster at the Daiichi Power Station in Japan, PNNL looks back at the science and solidarity it has shared with Fukushima and its nuclear cleanup effort.
