As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, PNNL is offering support to its neighbors in the Mid-Columbia region and across Washington State.

E-cigarette exposure stresses and inflames the lungs of rats, compromising important quality control proteins, according to new research.

In a first-of-its-kind study, PNNL scientists are learning about how e-cigarettes can lead to changes in proteins at the molecular level that could contribute to disease or other health problems.

Despite the challenges, the talented and dedicated staff at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory kept delivering for the nation.

Interdisciplinary review blends advanced scientific understanding to help predict how materials behave in extreme operating conditions.

Ettringite, a mineral found in cement, can latch on to and detain the wily and worrisome radioactive contaminant, pertechnetate.

Magazine cover article—“Combating corrosion in the world’s nuclear reactors”—features PNNL research leaders Mark Nutt, Aaron Diaz, and Mychailo Toloczko.

PNNL’s Steven Spurgeon, a materials scientist, was recently elected leader of the Microscopy Society of America (MSA) aberration-corrected microscopy focused interest group.

Researchers developed a new tool that combines artificial intelligence and microscopy data to rapidly test new materials for fusion reactor use.

Researchers at PNNL have developed a bacteria testing system called OmniScreen that combines biological and synthetic chemistry with machine learning to hunt down pathogens before they strike.

A zoonotic coronavirus known as SADS-CoV that has killed many pigs has the ability to infect human cells, surprising scientists.

A PNNL engineering team has designed personal protective equipment in support of COVID-19 aid.

The nation’s ability to test for COVID-19 has expanded, thanks to work at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, where scientists have established the performance of testing equipment to detect the virus.

A cadre of physical scientists, engineers and computing experts at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is poised to participate in the launch of three new DOE Office of Science-sponsored quantum information science research centers.

PNNL materials scientist Ram Devanathan named Fellow and chemist Dave Heldebrant keynotes at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2020 meeting.

A new radiation-resistant material for the efficient capture of noble gases xenon and krypton makes it safer and cheaper to recycle spent nuclear fuel.

Researchers from PNNL have helped colleagues at OHSU identify lipid molecules required for Zika infection in human cells. The specific lipids involved could also be a clue to why the virus primarily infects brain tissue.

Biomedical scientist Brian Thrall co-edited the issue published in the journal NanoImpact. Three of the articles in the issue include multiple PNNL authors.

International editing team provided 15-year update, with Devanathan focused on intersection of nuclear science, materials science, and multiscale modeling.

The PNNL chemist is leading a joint effort to study circadian rhythms and the gut microbiome.
