Focused research studies of advanced algorithms and materials are setting the stage for the next generation of quantum computers.

Study reveals importance of accounting for micrometer scale distribution of substrates to predict carbon emissions from soil.

PNNL scientists discover new soil viruses across different climates.

Soil moisture influences both the activity of soil DNA viruses, as well as the composition and abundance of RNA viruses.

Knowing which bacteria in a community are involved with carbon cycling could help scientists predict how microbial carbon storage and release could influence future climate dynamics.

PNNL provided ultra-low measurements of argon-39 to date groundwater as part of a collaborative study of the aquifer in California’s San Joaquin Valley. PNNL is one of only a few laboratories worldwide with this capability.

Ultra-trace radiation detection technique sets new global standard for measuring the nearly immeasurable.

Microbiome and soil chemistry characterization at long-term bioenergy research sites challenges idea that switchgrass increases carbon accrual in surface soils of marginal lands.

Scientists at PNNL have contributed much of the nuclear science that underlies an international monitoring system designed to detect nuclear explosions worldwide. The system detects radioxenon anywhere on the planet.
