In recognition of Nuclear Science Week on Oct. 19-23, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reflects on more than half a century of advancing nuclear science for the nation’s energy, environment, and security frontiers.

Writing in the journal Nature Chemistry, PNNL materials scientists Jim De Yoreo and Benjamin Legg provides context to new work showing how single atoms organize into clusters that seed crystal growth

Predictive models indicate cells regulate enzyme activity to maintain liquid center.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers used machine learning to explore the largest water clusters database, identifying—with the most accurate neural network—important information about this life-essential molecule.

Researchers at PNNL have increased the conductivity of copper wire by about five percent via a process called Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion. General Motors tested the wire for application in vehicle motor components.

PNNL-University of California, Berkeley scientist cited for ‘tireless dedication to the stewardship of catalysis.’

Dust blowing onto high mountains in the western Himalayas is a bigger factor than previously thought in hastening the melting of snow there.

Artificial structuring in carefully designed (SrNiO3)1/(LaFeO3)n superlattices stabilized Ni4+ cations that would otherwise be unstable

Five PNNL technologies were recently awarded six R&D 100 honors. The R&D 100 Awards, now in its 58th year, recognize pioneers in science and technology from industry, the federal government, and academia.

Sharon Hammes-Schiffer, deputy director of the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis (CME), has received awards from both the Royal Society of Chemistry and the American Chemical Society.

A new agreement between Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and The University of Texas at El Paso will create research and internship opportunities.

Geophysical modeling and inversion software meets DOE and nuclear industry standards for use in decision-making for radiologically contaminated sites.

PNNL researchers used machine learning to develop a tool for a nonprofit to identify orthopedic implants in X-ray images to improve surgical speed and accuracy.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) researchers pioneer a new tool to represent cellular response to viral infection.

Energy storage expert Ji-Guang (Jason) Zhang has been named PNNL’s 2019 Inventor of the Year.

Changing the environment of proteins directs their assembly into different types of larger structures.

Culminating 10 years of study, researchers at PNNL’s Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory developed a new predictive framework for estuarine–tidal river research and management.

PNNL recognizes researchers during National Postdoc Appreciation Week.

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.
