Triton is piloting research on the interactions of receptors and anthropogenic light associated with marine energy devices.

The Battery500 Consortium, led by PNNL, has been awarded $75 million for advancing battery technologies over the next five years.

The Triton Initiative introduces its next generation of projects focused on researching stressor/receptor interactions for marine energy applications.

Molly Grear, an ocean engineer in the Coastal Sciences Division at PNNL, recently helped middle school summer science camp students from Blatchley Middle School in Sitka, Alaska, design their own energy wave converters.

Developed at PNNL, Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion, or ShAPE™, uses significantly less energy and can deliver components like wire, tubes and bars 10 times faster than conventional extrusion, with no sacrifice in quality.

PNNL has received 119 R&D 100 Awards since 1969, when the laboratory began submitting entries in the contest that recognizes top 100 inventions each year.

An energy-efficient method to extrude metal components wins Association of Washington Business Green Manufacturing Award. PNNL’s Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion™ technology consumes less energy and enhances material properties.

Internship focused on detecting and characterized baleen whale vocalization activity near the future PacWave test site in Newport, Oregon.

One effort toward better batteries for electric vehicles is hitting overdrive, thanks to new findings about the desirable silicon anode.

The Triton Initiative supports projects funded through U.S. Department of Energy funding opportunity announcements developing environmental monitoring technologies for marine energy.

Rotational Hammer Riveting, developed by PNNL, joins dissimilar materials quickly without preheating rivets. The friction-based riveting enables use of lightweight magnesium rivets and also works on aluminum and speeds manufacturing.

Voice for ocean-based climate solutions and strategist for PNNL’s Coastal Sciences Division, Simon Geerlofs, speaks about the Triton Initiative.

Researchers developed two solutions for air-conditioning—a novel, energy-efficient dehumidification system and a technology to detect refrigerant leaks. Both help increase energy-efficiency and reduce costs.

Cailene Gunn discusses her work in science communication and how she communicates the Triton Initiative's research to help advance the marine energy industry.

Researchers have increased the lifetime of a promising electric vehicle battery to a record level.

For World Oceans Month, Triton Stories highlights Coastal Science Division director Genevra Harker-Klimeš, who helped create the Triton Initiative.

Samantha Eaves discusses the future of marine energy and her role with Triton from the Department of Energy Water Power Technologies Office perspective.  

Coastal Sciences Division group leader, Meg Pinza, helped build Triton into a thought leader in the field of marine energy environmental monitoring.

The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded funding to PNNL for the design and construction of a hybrid research vessel and an underwater testbed to be located at PNNL-Sequim.

Operations specialist, Sue Southard helps the Triton Initiative conduct marine energy field research safely.
