The ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit brings together researchers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors to showcase the latest technologies shaping tomorrow’s energy landscape. This year, eight projects led by PNNL were featured.

Lauren Charles, a chief data scientist at PNNL, showcased the vital research coming out of her program at The National Academies Forum workshop in Washington, D.C., January 15–16, 2025.

Three PNNL technologies have been declared winners of 2025 Federal Laboratory Consortium Awards, named for a program that recognizes federal laboratories and their industry partners for outstanding technology transfer achievements.

This week at AAAS, PNNL scientists discuss phenomics and the factors that influence DNA instructions to bring about the world around us.

Future holiday homecomings could include efficient heat pumps in cold climates and homes designed and built with the environment in mind.

Secretary Granholm praises heat pump workforce development efforts at this year's instructor training program.

The Pacific Northwest Association of Toxicologists (PANWAT) presented its annual Toxicology Achievement Award to Katrina Waters at the Society of Toxicology Pacific Northwest Chapter Meeting, held in Lynnwood, Washington, on September 30th.

PNNL biodefense experts seek to identify, understand and mitigate the risks of biological pathogens—whether naturally occurring or intentionally created—so steps can be taken to prepare and respond.

PNNL researchers are exploring the kinds of flicker waveforms that the eye and brain can detect, seeking to understand the different visual and non-visual effects that result.

Early life exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), found in smoke, has been linked to developmental problems. To study the impacts of these pollutants, PAH metabolism in infants and adults were compared.

PNNL has developed a decision tool that provides contractors and installers with the information they need to properly select and install cold climate heat pumps, which are a key technology for achieving decarbonization.

PMedIC, the PNNL and OHSU joint research collaboration, contributes to student success and impact in biomedicine.

The Heat Pump Water Heater Installation Tool, developed at PNNL, has been released by the Department of Energy for public use.

Researchers will explore climate, pathogens and energy-efficient microelectronics using 3 million node hours on the nation’s supercomputers.
