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.

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

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.

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.

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.
