Chief Chemical Engineer Xiao-Ying Yu joins the editorial board of inaugural journal, Frontiers in Nuclear Engineering.

IDREAM researchers assess the potential of photon-in/photon-out XFEL techniques to explore early time reaction steps and ultimately improve nuclear waste processing strategies.

A new PNNL study quantifies hydropower's contribution to grid stability. When other power sources go out, hydropower can ramp up, recoup shortfalls, and stabilize the grid nearly instantaneously.

Two PNNL studies that describe the potential value of offshore wind off the Oregon Coast and distributed wind in Alaska were published in the journal Energies.

New PNNL research provides the first direct evidence that amorphous intermediates influence subsequent crystallization outcomes using in situ imaging.

PNNL is rock solid on carbon storage, building on successful demonstration in eastern Washington.

A strengthened softer alloy phase increases the toughness of a tungsten composite material.

Through the Net Zero World Initiative, expertise from DOE national laboratories will be harnessed to put global net zero within reach.

Scott Chambers creates layered structures of thin metal oxide films and studies their properties, creating materials not found in nature. He will soon move his instrumentation and research to the new Energy Sciences Center.

PNNL recognizes some of the outstanding postdoctoral researchers that move science forward during National Postdoc Appreciation Week.

New study elucidates the complex relaxation kinetics of supercooled water using a pulsed laser heating technique at previously inaccessible temperatures.

Machine learning techniques are accelerating the development of stronger alloys for power plants, which will yield efficiency, cost, and decarbonization benefits.

PNNL’s infrared pulsed heating technique reveals supercooled water’s weird behavior; opens door to other fluid studies at new Energy Sciences Center.

Risk analysis on the plutonium-fueled power system that supplies electricity to the Mars rover answered the “what if” nuclear safety questions for NASA.

She leads a research team focused on interfacial chemistry in complex environments. IDREAM is one of DOE’s 41 Energy Frontier Research Centers.

Three unused, 48,000-pound stainless steel canisters arrived at PNNL, bringing the chance to deepen research in spent nuclear fuel storage and transportation.

PNNL's Brenda Wiesner creates one-of-a-kind artwork using peeling paint and rusty scraps from decommissioned RPM shells.

PNNL radiochemist and research manager Patricia Paviet named National Technical Director for the Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) Program by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy.

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.
