Graduate student Ying Xia has been selected as a Graduate Student Award Finalist for the 2024 Materials Research Society Fall Meeting.

Energy storage is increasingly critical to building a resilient electric grid in the United States—a trend embodied by the Grid Storage Launchpad, a newly inaugurated, 93,000-square-foot facility at PNNL.

Controlling the nanostructure of silk fibroin—a protein found in silk—is a key step toward designing and fabricating electronics that leverage the material’s promising mechanical, optical and biocompatible properties.

A newly funded project will develop the fundamental understanding of phenomena that underpin material properties important for quantum applications.

Sergei Kalinin honored with the David Adler Lectureship Award for contributions to materials physics through automated experimentation and ferroelectric materials work.

Ultra-thin layers of silk deposited on graphene in perfect alignment represent a key advance for the control needed in microelectronics and advanced neural network development.

Bylaska and team will aim to make computational design of functional materials more targeted, impactful, and user friendly through this award.

Jim De Yoreo, a Battelle fellow and materials scientist, was elected vice-chair of the National Academy of Engineering’s Materials Section.

Fully identifying what controls nanocrystal assembly requires incorporating non-traditional forces into models.

The International Association for Dental Research Mineralized Tissue Group awarded PNNL scientists and their collaborators a Best Paper recognition for research published in Nano Letters.

PNNL’s patented Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion (ShAPE™) technique is an advanced manufacturing technology that enables better-performing materials and components while offering opportunities to reduce costs and energy consumption.

Scott Whalen, a chief scientist in the Applied Materials and Manufacturing group at PNNL, has been named 2023 PNNL Inventor of the Year

Jim De Yoreo was appointed member of DOE’s Basic Energy Sciences Advisory Committee.

In 2006, battery research was practically non-existent at PNNL. Today, the lab is lauded for its battery research. How did PNNL go from a new player to a leader in state-of-the-art storage for EVs and the grid?

Combining X-ray-based techniques allows researchers to locate and characterize small concentrations of electrons in complex semiconductor films.

The convergence of artificial intelligence, cloud, and high-performance computing to accelerate scientific discovery is the focus of a multi-year collaboration between Microsoft and PNNL.

A newly developed, highly conductive copper wire could find applications in the electric grid, as well as in homes and businesses. The finding defies what's been thought about how metals conduct electricity.

Elias Nakouzi brings 3D atomic force microcopy expertise to a project focused on understanding how hybrid bio-based nanomaterials assemble.

A seemingly simple shift in lithium-ion battery manufacturing could pay big dividends, improving electric vehicles’ ability to store more energy per charge and to withstand more charging cycles.
