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

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.

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

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

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.

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

The National Business Aviation Association has named Andre Watson, PNNL's director of Aviation Maintenance, to the 2024 class of the Business Aviation Top 40 Under 40.

The Sodium-ion Alliance for Grid Energy Storage, led by PNNL, is focused on demonstrating high-performance, low-cost, safe sodium-ion batteries tested for real-world grid applications.

LabSigns is a new effort spearheaded by a Deaf scientist and a hearing scientist to create American Sign Language signs for the laboratory.

Controlling the nanostructure of silk fibroin—a protein found in silk—is a key step toward designing and fabricating electronics that leverage the material’s promising mechanical, optical and biocompatible properties.

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

PNNL's McDearis and Rod designed a new device—a porous soil stake—that, once installed, enables repeated sampling of a specific soil site at multiple depths, without further disrupting the soil.

Battelle Fellow Johannes Lercher was elected a Foreign Academician by the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical, and Natural Sciences of Spain for his contributions to chemical science.

The research presented in this article enhances the ability to predict and prepare for compound flood events along the U.S. coastline.

The search for dark matter includes expertise in radio frequency signal detection, quantum sensing, and high-energy physics at PNNL.

A newly funded project will develop the fundamental understanding of phenomena that underpin material properties important for quantum applications.

This study evaluated the sensitivity of multiple geophysical methods to measure and evaluate the spatiotemporal variability of select soil properties across terrestrial–aquatic interfaces.

Research identifies the mechanisms through which peptoids affect ions in solution and a mineral surface, increasing the rate of carbonate crystal growth.

Francesca Pierobon holds a joint appointment with UW and WSU to advance low-carbon technologies.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists discussed their materials research at Accelerate’24.
