The Low-cost Earth-abundant Na-ion Storage consortium is a major effort to create superior, no-compromise batteries that replace lithium with inexpensive, domestically abundant sodium and use few—if any—critical materials.

PNNL researchers received an award from the Materials, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) for a publication on friction riveting.

For PNNL’s Jonathan Evarts, Hope Lackey, and Erik Reinhart, this partnership with WSU opened doors and provided opportunities for their scientific careers to flourish.

Sergei Kalinin, a joint appointee at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and PNNL, and Ji-Guang (Jason) Zhang, a PNNL Lab Fellow, are part of the 2024 class of National Academy of Inventors Fellows.

PNNL's new energy storage facility now houses the Lab's vehicle battery research programs, which have more lab space and a slew of new capabilities.

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.

Staff at PNNL recently traveled to Cyprus to facilitate a multilateral workshop on chemical forensics investigations hosted by the U.S. Department of State, Office of Weapons of Mass Destruction Terrorism.

Staff at PNNL recently visited the University of Texas at San Antonio to deliver lectures on international law, arms control, and nuclear nonproliferation during Nuclear Policy Week.

PNNL’s Fatih Evren receives an ASHRAE best paper award for buildings-related research.

PNNL staff scientist selected as a guest editor for a special issue titled “Ligand-Metal Complementarity in Rare Earth and Actinide Chemistry,” in the well-known journal Inorganic Chemistry.

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

Researchers from PNNL have been assessing installation and use of electric heat pumps in an Alaskan community that relies on fuel oil for heat. The resulting information could advance electrification in cold rural areas across the nation.

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?

PNNL helps deliver efficiency-related rules and requirements that steadily improve performance of America’s buildings, saving energy and costs and reducing carbon emissions.

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.

Mandy Mahoney, director of the DOE Building Technologies Office, visited PNNL in late November. One key agenda item involved meeting with staff for a discussion of effective equity and justice integration in buildings-related research.

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.

PNNL has joined Gender Champions in Nuclear Policy, a leadership network that brings together leaders of organizations working in nuclear policy who are committed to breaking down gender barriers.

Leaders from the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy visited PNNL October 19–20 for a firsthand look at capabilities and research progress.
