The nation’s ability to test for COVID-19 has expanded, thanks to work at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, where scientists have established the performance of testing equipment to detect the virus.

A team of researchers led by scientists from PNNL simulated carbon cycling and community composition during 100 years of forest regrowth following disturbance.

PNNL cancer cell biologist Karin Rodland has been recognized by the international Human Proteome Organization.

PNNL’s Heida Diefenderfer was recently appointed to a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committee that will assess long-term environmental trends in the Gulf of Mexico region.

PNNL quantum computing pioneer Nathan Wiebe contributed to a Google-led quantum computing landmark study published in the journal Science.

First-ever measurements provide evidence that supercooled water exists in two distinct structures that co-exist and vary in proportion dependent on temperature.

In a new review, PNNL researchers outline how to convert stranded biomass to sustainable fuel using electrochemical reduction reactions in mini-refineries powered by renewable energy.

Twelve researchers from PNNL presented at the 2020 Metabolomics Association of North America virtual conference in mid-September. Their presentations included a plenary talk, keynote talks, oral presentations, posters, and a lightning talk.

Five papers co-written by 23 PNNL researchers were named Superior Paper Award Winners by the Waste Management Symposia.

PNNL ocean engineer Alicia Gorton was invited to serve on the advisory board of the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Ocean Engineering at the Stevens Institute of Technology.

PNNL biologists have developed a more efficient way to estimate salmon survival through dams that uses solid science but saves over 42 percent of the cost.

Mesoscale convective systems produce more intense rainfall than warm-season rain in this region.

Downscaling methods improve representation of terrain effects on precipitation for earth system models.

PNNL researchers combined future socioeconomic and climate conditions in a complex model that accounts for the relationships between energy, water, land, climate, and human activities to predict future changes in virtual water trading.

PNNL scientists led a study to quantify radiative feedbacks using historical short-term climate simulations. These simulations can reproduce the observed warming and polar amplification.
