Nuclear reactors need tough alloys that can withstand extreme conditions. PNNL researchers developed a computational approach called robust alloy design (RAD) to search for materials that meet multiple nuclear requirements.

Scientists are using agentic agents to speed up the process of toughening materials for their future in space or in nuclear reactors.

Scientists combined detailed images and coordinated time-series multiomics data to show how protein complexes regulate carbon fixation as light conditions change.

The PermitAI™ team at PNNL has issued two new upgrades to its public resources for searching federal environmental permitting data.

PNNL’s BEACONS project is turning a Pasha Hawaii cargo route into a long-term Pacific observatory, collecting autonomous measurements of aerosols, clouds, and weather.

Thomas Komay, Ian Parzyszek, Hannah Patz, and Michael Romero are leveraging their backgrounds in radiochemistry, math, and nuclear engineering to advance NFTI projects. They gained a deeper understanding of nuclear forensics.

Eric Smith, a Laboratory Fellow and program manager at PNNL, was selected for induction into the Academy of Distinguished Engineers at the 2026 Oregon Stater Awards Ceremony.
