A poem inspired by radioactive tank waste—“Can a Scientist Dream it Alone?”—was awarded first place in the Department of Energy’s Poetry of Science Art Contest.

PNNL is honoring its postdoctoral researchers as part of the fourteenth annual National Postdoc Appreciation Week with seven profiles of postdocs from around the Laboratory.

DOE Basic Energy Sciences 2023 “Poetry of Science Art Contest” aims to educate and inspire; voting for the People’s Choice Award closes September 15.

A new review describes the insights that may be gained into important electrochemical processes using ion soft landing.

PNNL researchers demonstrated a simple method to create stable, identical nanoparticles of PdTe2-like composition, which is known to be superconducting, on a WTe2 TMD support.

Chemist Grant Johnson offers tips for mentoring a successful internship and creating opportunities for undergraduate students to publish research.

Grant Johnson and Zdenek Dohnálek gave invited presentations and chaired sessions at the Cluster Meeting 2023.

PNNL receives a 2023 Federal Laboratory Consortium Far West Regional Award for a technological innovation that could help make the U.S. a producer of critical minerals used in electronics and energy production.

Researchers created the first open-source database of exotic materials eyed for use in quantum applications.

Jingshan Du was named an associate editor of the journal Frontiers for Young Minds, which publishes articles about scientific research for young readers.

A combined experimental and theoretical study identified multiple interactions that affect the performance of redox-active metal oxides for potential electrochemical separation and quantum computing applications.

Materials science postdoctoral researcher Jingshan Du received a Distinguished Student Program award to participate in the American Physical Society meeting.

Thin oxide films play an important role in electronics and energy storage. Researchers in PNNL’s film growth laboratory create, explore, and improve new thin oxide films.

Combining peptoids and carbon nanotube porins creates a new class of stable membranes with potential applications in separations science.

A newly funded research project draws inspiration from nature to store carbon dioxide.

From landfills to fill-ups: novel catalysts may make plastic upcycling cleaner and more cost-effective.

A new, simple, and efficient flow-based method allows researchers to pull a useful magnesium salt from natural seawater using easily available chemicals.

Plastic upcycling efficiently converts plastics to valuable commodity chemicals while using less of the precious metal ruthenium. The method could recycle waste plastic pollution into useful products, helping keep it out of landfills.

A new approach to epitaxial growth can produce different complex oxides through ion movement.

PNNL Laboratory fellow Dave Heldebrant has been selected as a 2022 fellow by the American Chemical Society.
