To improve our ability to “see” into the subsurface, scientists need to understand how different mineral surfaces respond to electrical signals at the molecular scale.

Jingshan Du, a Washington Research Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow, attended a Lindau Nobel Laureate meeting as one of only five young researchers awarded a Lindau Spirit Fellowship.

At a one-day summit on PNNL’s Richland campus, scientists and engineers gather to hear from leaders and learn to lead others.

PNNL’s Fatih Evren receives an ASHRAE best paper award for buildings-related research.

The surface oxygen functionality of graphene oxide may be tuned using ultraviolet light, affecting how differently charged ions move through the material.

A recent study suggests a higher global mean precipitation increase and narrows the uncertainty range.

Researchers studied the boundary precipitation of tungsten heavy alloys in an extended high temperature irradiation environment

The study found that the way a fire burns (in open air versus in an oven in a controlled lab setting) can greatly change the leftover materials (char or charcoal) and how they interact in the environment.

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.

Kriston Brooks received the 2023 Department of Energy Office of Classification Outstanding DC Award, which is given to those in the classification community who have made significant contributions.

When exposed to a sufficiently high dose of ionizing radiation, gibbsite and boehmite are less susceptible to dehydration-induced breakdown.

Researchers find ultrafine particles abundant in smoke from Amazon forests fire may intensify storm clouds and heavy rain.

PNNL staff scientist selected as a guest editor for a special issue titled “Ligand-Metal Complementarity in Rare Earth and Actinide Chemistry,” in the well-known journal Inorganic Chemistry.

Using a refined Earth system model, researchers found that wetlands over North America will be significantly affected by climate change under future scenarios

Researchers use dataset combining observational data with advanced numerical simulations to investigate the characteristics, drivers, and trends of extreme heat events in the High Arctic over past four decades

The International Association for Dental Research Mineralized Tissue Group awarded PNNL scientists and their collaborators a Best Paper recognition for research published in Nano Letters.

Researchers develop framework that tracks the aerosol–cloud interactions along the trajectories of air parcels and embed framework into Weather Research Forecast model.

Study develops high-resolution land surface data for 2001 to 2020, including parameters of land use, vegetation, soil, and topography and demonstrated its use in k-scale simulation using the Energy Exascale Earth System Model.

A new study examines the effect of peptoid sequences on the mechanisms and kinetics of their two-dimensional assembly on mica surfaces and how molecular interactions alter assembly kinetics.

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.
