A new analysis shows how renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydropower respond to climate patterns, and how utilities can use this data to save money and invest in energy storage.
A recent paper published in Science sheds light on how aerosols—tiny particles in the air—released by industrial activities can trigger downstream snowfall events.
Global experts gathered at PNNL for the 9th International Conference on Sodium Batteries, sharing advancements in sodium battery research and development.
Alicia Amerson's passion for science communication, expertise in marine mammal research, and experience in wildlife photography provide a robust foundation for her new role with the Clallam County Marine Resources Committee.
After 20 years of contributions to the field of hydrogen safety, the Hydrogen Safety Panel launched its new mentoring program at PNNL earlier this year. Now, the program has selected its first two mentees.
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.
Energy storage is increasingly critical to building a resilient electric grid in the United States—a trend embodied by the Grid Storage Launchpad, a newly inaugurated, 93,000-square-foot facility at PNNL.
A Helios Hydra UX DualBeam, which utilizes a plasma focused ion beam and scanning electron microscope for sample preparation and analysis, was installed at the Grid Storage Launchpad.
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.
