New research findings published in Science Advances (November 2022), help explain the progression of Alzheimer-related dementia in each patient. The findings outline a biological classification system that predicts disease severity.

Iron-based fertilizer may stimulate plankton to pull carbon dioxide from the ocean, driving a carbon-negative process.

Studying how microorganisms behave in space could facilitate farming in the final frontier and lead to better crops on Earth.

The world's current climate pledges won't limit global warming to 1.5 °C. We will overshoot. A new study shows that more ambitious climate pledges could minimize the overshoot.

Abigail Gutierrez Deniz is a first-generation, Latina student working to pursue her goal of working in cybersecurity.

Direct visualization of metal atoms during shear deformation has broad applications from battery design to vehicle lightweighting.

Scientists can detect the virus that causes COVID-19 by using a bubble that spills its contents like a piñata when encountering the virus.

Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.

Research shows that coupling geothermal power plants with lithium extraction from geothermal brine would make geothermal energy more economically viable, providing renewable energy and valuable raw materials.

Some rocks can potentially convert injected carbon dioxide into more stable solid minerals. A new review article explores what scientists know about the atom-by-atom process.

A new study shows for the first time that wildfires burning in West Coast states can, despite great distance, strengthen storms in downwind states.

Climate change sets the stage for hurricanes to rapidly intensify faster, bringing wetter storms to the U.S. Atlantic Coast and other coastlines.

From landfills to fill-ups: novel catalysts may make plastic upcycling cleaner and more cost-effective.

A new, simple, and efficient flow-based method allows researchers to pull a useful magnesium salt from natural seawater using easily available chemicals.

Despite severe drought, a new report shows that hydropower remains a strong and steadfast contributor of renewable energy in the West.

A PNNL researcher offers tips on protecting you and your family from harmful wildfire smoke when indoors.

Near-real-time fish tracking using a new acoustic receiver developed by PNNL can support enhanced fish passage through hydropower dams.

Interns dive into important research that addresses national needs.

Plastic upcycling efficiently converts plastics to valuable commodity chemicals while using less of the precious metal ruthenium. The method could recycle waste plastic pollution into useful products, helping keep it out of landfills.

As wildfires grow increasingly severe, PNNL researchers are working to slow their spread and mitigate their harmful effects.
