PNNL scientists Richard (Dick) Smith and Ljiljana (Lili) Paša-Tolić are recognized by The Analytical Scientist in its 2019 Power List as two of 2019’s top 100 minds in analytical science.
In the third year of the DISCOVR Consortium project, the consortium team has identified an algal strain that progressed successfully through multiple evaluation phases.
Two forms of magnesium material were processed into tubing using PNNL’s Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion™ technology. Both materials were found to have quite similar and improved properties—even though they began vastly different.
Pumped-storage hydropower offers the most cost-effective storage option for shifting large volumes of energy. A PNNL-led team wrote a report comparing cost and performance factors for 10 storage technologies.
A multi-institute research team is exploring ways to improve residential walls across America, making homes warmer and drier and delivering significant energy savings.
PNNL’s Jie Xiao was recently recognized for her outstanding contribution to basic and applied research on lithium-ion batteries and beyond by the International Automotive Lithium Battery Association.
PNNL engineer Qiuhua Huang was recently honored for his research that explored connecting solar, wind and other small-energy producers to the electric grid
Scientists have uncovered a root cause of the growth of needle-like structures—known as dendrites and whiskers—that plague lithium batteries, sometimes causing a short circuit, failure, or even a fire.
Researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reviewed the current state of knowledge about the impacts of climate change on soil microorganisms in different climate-sensitive soil ecosystems.
With support from DOE’s Office of Electricity and National Grid, PNNL led a groundbreaking study to accurately assess the full value of grid energy storage investments across a wide variety of use cases.
A new Co-Optima report describes an assessment of 400 biofuel-derived samples and identifies the top ten candidates for blending with petroleum fuel to improve boosted spark ignition engine efficiency.
PNNL researchers have created a chemical cocktail that could help electric cars power their way through extreme temperatures where current lithium-ion batteries don’t operate as efficiently as needed.
