A new study reveals just how costly Earth's tipping points can be.

PNNL chemist Mark Engelhard has been chosen as president-elect of AVS Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing

Nineteen PNNL-affiliated researchers have been named to Clarivate’s 2024 list of the world's most highly cited researchers.

Scientists are using artificial intelligence and powerful computing to sculpt new molecules in an effort to treat disease.

The demand for energy is growing—and so is the technology supporting it. However, future development of power generation technologies could be affected by a key factor: material supply.

Postdoctoral scientist Jingshan Du received the Nanoscale Science and Technology Division Early Career Award from AVS.

PNNL researchers co-organized a workshop on fusion commercialization with partners from industry and academia

PNNL chief data scientist Lauren Charles participated in a science-focused panel linked to the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly.

Alicia Amerson's passion for science communication, expertise in marine mammal research, and experience in wildlife photography provide a robust foundation for her new role with the Clallam County Marine Resources Committee.

Tuning the environment of supported palladium atoms with hydrogen treatment enhances their catalytic activity.

Samrat Chatterjee will serve on the editorial board of Risk Analysis, the flagship journal of the Society for Risk Analysis.

Through a detailed examination of historical data supported by mechanistic analysis and model experiments, researchers unveil that a large-scale climate system intensifies heat extremes and wildfire risks in the PNW.

Graduate student Ying Xia has been selected as a Graduate Student Award Finalist for the 2024 Materials Research Society Fall Meeting.

How to keep stray radiation from “shorting” superconducting qubits; a pair of studies shows where ionizing radiation is lurking and how to banish it.

This study shows that dry dynamics alone is not enough to understand jet stream persistence. Instead, clouds and precipitation are more important contributors than internal “dry” mechanisms to this memory of the Southern Hemisphere jet.

PNNL researchers work with industry partners to transform large language models.

Research that modeled increased heat pump adoption alongside climate change impacts in Texas showed that high-efficiency heat pumps buffer the strain that electric heating might put on the power grid.

New methodology can evaluate the potential for carbon storage and critical mineral recovery in undercharacterized geological settings.

A new database allows researchers to connect lattice parameters and composition in olivine.

University of Washington Professor David Baker won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for computational protein design.
