PNNL’s Nuclear Process Science Initiative (NPSI) has developed a book that examines processes used to separate nuclear materials.

PNNL and Argonne researchers developed and tested a chemical process that successfully captures radioactive byproducts from used nuclear fuel so they could be sent to advanced reactors for destruction while also producing electrical power.

PNNL’s Intelligent Load Control technology manages and adjusts electricity use in buildings when there’s peak demand on the power grid.

Advancements such as LEDs have changed consumers’ experience with lighting. Whereas there was once a simple choice of how much light a consumer desired, there’s now a variety of choices to be made about the appearance of light.

Through her role in the Department of Energy’s Advanced Scientific Computing Research-supported ExaLearn project, Jenna Pope is developing deep learning approaches for finding optimal water cluster structures for a variety of applications.

In the third year of the DISCOVR Consortium project, the consortium team has identified an algal strain that progressed successfully through multiple evaluation phases.

Quin Miller is a geochemistry postdoctoral research associate who was recently recognized for “exceptional contributions” to PNNL. The nomination criteria included productivity, innovation, dedication, hard work, and strong sponsor impact.

A multi-institute research team is exploring ways to improve residential walls across America, making homes warmer and drier and delivering significant energy savings.

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.

Outstanding postdocs make a difference at PNNL; part of a series beginning with National PostDoc Appreciation Week @nationalpostdoc #NPAW2019

New PNNL research shows that a pairing of humble minerals outshines other reactive materials when it comes to producing hydrogen.

Geochemistry postdoctoral research assistant Quin R.S. Miller has been elected to a three-year term on the Clay Minerals Society Council.

Researchers at PNNL have solved a mystery for a chemical reaction essential for fuel and fertilizer production.

CME investigators Daniel Martin (Yale) and Samantha Johnson (PNNL) received a team science award at the 2019 Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRC) Principal Investigators' Meeting in Washington, D.C. in July 2019.

Prof. Yogesh (Yogi) Surendranath of the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis (CME) was honored with a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.

A PNNL technology enables automated Economic Dispatch, which coordinates the use of energy in a manner that enhances distributed generation, efficiency, renewables, and grid reliability.

Nitrogen oxides, also known as NOx, form when fossil fuels burn at high temperatures. When emitted from industrial sources such as coal power plants, these pollutants react with other compounds to produce harmful smog.

Yuyan Shao, a PNNL electrochemist and materials scientist, served as a guest editor in a recently published special issue of the journal Advanced Materials.

PNNL's Xiao-Ying Yu has joined the review board for the journal Micromachines

A staple in horror movies, flickering lights can also summon potential human health and productivity concerns. PNNL studied hand-held meters that measure flicker, and the results could improve future measurement and lighting strategies.
