PNNL brings its expertise to the space domain by joining an organization that facilitates collaboration across the global space industry.

PNNL has created and licensed a system that sniffs out trace levels of fentanyl, other drugs and explosives through the air.

Scientists are developing ways to detect previously unseen forms of fentanyl as well as other synthetic opioids known as nitazenes.

In the latest issue of the Domestic Preparedness Journal, Ashley Bradley and Kristin Omberg share how new research is shedding light on the scientific and technological challenges with detecting fentanyl.

Recycling polyolefin materials is challenging. One waste management strategy is plastic upcycling. New work demonstrates a single-step upcycling route coupling cracking and alkylation, recycling carbon and keeping valuable resources active.

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.

Americans produce enough waste every year to replace up to a quarter of the country’s jet fuel with sustainable alternatives, new research shows.

Adom Cooper was selected for the inaugural cohort of the Black Professionals in International Affairs at the Colin Powell Leadership Institute.

A new report highlights the results of an assessment PNNL conducted of field-portable detection products used by first responders to detect illicit substances like fentanyl in the field.

Madalina Man, an international compliance analyst, recently lent her legal expertise to an International Atomic Energy Agency International Physical Protection Advisory Service Mission in Zambia.

Chanel Chauvet-Maldonado, nonproliferation policy and law analyst, completed the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Nuclear Energy Agency International School of Nuclear Law program.

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.

A PNNL innovation uses steam to recover heat from the high-temperature reactor effluent in the HTL process, substantially reducing the propensity for fouling and potentially reducing costs.

Kathleen Doty recently shared legal insight on the challenge of space debris in her presentation “Regulating Space Junk” as part of the University of Georgia School of Law’s Spring 2023 Space Law Speaker Series.

Radha Kishan Motkuri lends skill and knowledge to co-lead special edition journal.

PNNL is the newest member of the CONsortium on Nuclear sECurity Technologies (CONNECT).

Kate Doty was invited to lend her expertise as guest editor for the International Journal of Nuclear Security on a special issue on women in nuclear security.

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

Nonproliferation Policy and Law Analyst, Chanel Chauvet, served as the legal expert in the International Atomic Energy Agency's effort to update Uzbekistan's Integrated Nuclear Security Support Plan.

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.
