Researchers have identified two processes responsible for fracturing rock at lower pressures for geothermal energy production using PNNL’s fracturing fluid, StimuFrac™.
PNNL’s Corinne Drennan has been selected to serve a term on the Washington Department of Ecology’s advisory board for the new Recycling Development Center.
The world’s largest scientific society honored Sue B. Clark, a PNNL and WSU chemist, for contributions toward resolving our legacy of radioactive waste, advancing nuclear safeguards, and developing landmark nuclear research capabilities.
While it’s one small step forward for mouse research, it’s a big step forward for understanding proteins, the molecular workhorses in biological organisms.
Sonja Glavaski and Kevin Schneider, both electrical engineers at PNNL, have been named as IEEE fellows. IEEE is the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity.
PNNL researchers demonstrated a nanoscale analysis tool to map isotopes to location in low-enriched uranium-molybdenum fuel plates for use in nuclear research reactors.
A group of female mathematicians and computer scientists, which includes PNNL’s Emilie Purvine, has published its third paper on joint research to understand and accurately represent object relationships through metric graphs.
PNNL will lead three new grid modernization projects funded by the Department of Energy. The projects focus on scalability and usability, networked microgrids, and machine learning for a more resilient, flexible and secure power grid.
Retired PNNL scientist Doug Elliott has received the 2019 Don Klass Award for Excellence in Thermochemical Conversion Science from the Gas Technology Institute.
Advancing a more collective understanding of coastal systems dynamics and evolution is a formidable scientific challenge. PNNL is meeting the challenge head on to inform decisions for the future.
At a conference featuring the most advanced computing hardware and software, ML in its various guises was on full display and highlighted by Nathan Baker’s featured invited presentation.
PNNL and Argonne researchers developed and tested a chemical process that successfully captures radioactive byproducts from used nuclear fuel so they could be sent to advanced reactors for destruction while also producing electrical power.
