PNNL radiochemist and research manager Patricia Paviet named National Technical Director for the Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) Program by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy.

PNNL streamlines environmental review process for advanced reactors, saving years and millions of dollars toward deployments of new nuclear power projects.

Can food waste help fuel the future? Researchers are working toward clean, cost-effective alternatives to today’s fossil fuels.

PNNL formulated a new type of dual-ion cell chemistry that uses a zinc anode and a natural graphite cathode in an aqueous—or “water-in-bisalt”—electrolyte.

In 2020, virtual Washington State University teams successfully worked together in a program sponsored by the National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA) Office of International Nuclear Safeguards.

New approach allows nonexperts to optimize control of a building's energy systems without adding computing power or proprietary software.

PNNL researchers simulated residential battery use and found in-home energy storage can benefit both the power grid and homeowners.

PNNL seismologist Hunter Knox has been named general chairperson of the Geothermal Rising Conference.

The Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer has given three national awards to PNNL technology teams.

Project manager Alicia Amerson brings the Triton Initiative’s research on environmental monitoring for marine energy applications to life.

PNNL created an assessment method and maturity model that helps manufacturers building products for the power grid implement consistent cybersecurity best practices throughout their development lifecycle.

Ultra-trace radiation detection technique sets new global standard for measuring the nearly immeasurable.

A research effort under the PNNL-led Battery500 Consortium solved a longtime debate surrounding a structure in lithium-metal battery anodes.

Methane emissions from coal mines are likely higher than previously calculated, largely due to emissions from abandoned mines.

Klymyshyn was recognized as “Engineer of the Year” by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Columbia Basin Section for his technical, professional, and community contributions.

New mathematical tools developed at PNNL hold promise to transform the way we operate and defend complex cyber-physical systems, such as the power grid.
