Researchers at PNNL have introduced an alternative method using a molecular-based pump that could potentially use a quarter less energy than the age-old mechanical pump.

His research is dedicated to the development of experimental tools and expertise critical for controlled synthesis and characterization of complex oxides, and gaining deep understanding of structure-composition-function relationships.

Yong Wang, a PNNL laboratory fellow, has received the 2019 Catalysis and Reaction Engineering Practice Award from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.

A radioactive chemical called pertechnetate is a bad actor when it’s in nuclear waste tanks. But researchers at PNNL and the University of South Florida have a new lead on how to selectively separate it from the nuclear waste for treatment.

Editors of the journal Emission Control Science and Technology deemed “Coating Distribution in a Commercial SCR Filter” Best Paper in 2018. The authors include PNNL's Mark Stewart, Carl Justin Kamp, Feng Gao, Yilin Wang, and Mark Engelhard.

PNNL and National Renewable Energy Laboratory have partnered on a first-of-its-kind tool that estimates costs of catalysts.

Patricia Huestis, a collaborator in the Interfacial Dynamics in Radioactive Environments and Materials (IDREAM) Energy Frontier Research Center, has been awarded the DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) award.

Frannie Smith, a chemist specializing in nuclear waste management and disposal, was recognized as a "Notable Woman in STEM" for 2019 by the nonprofit Washington STEM program.

PNNL’s Johannes Lercher was one of 148 researchers recognized at the annual conference of the National Academy of Inventors, held April 10-11, 2019 in Houston, Texas. Lercher recently achieved NAI fellow status, a highly selective honor.

Researchers at PNNL and their collaborators have made a significant improvement to a catalyst that is more rugged and can reduce tailpipe pollution at lower temperatures than existing methods.

Kelsey Stoerzinger leverages advances in surface chemistry to develop materials for clean energy and water purification.

Several years ago, a relatively new catalyst for vehicle emission control began showing failure. A team at PNNL found that this seemingly suicidal catalyst wasn’t actually self-destructing but was the victim of an external assailant.

PNNL researchers have created a new way to achieve precise control over the chemical composition of complex interfaces.

The atomically precise insights obtained from our experiments and theoretical calculations helped to develop efficient electrochemical interfaces.

The feature article shines a spotlight on the Energy Frontier Research Center led by PNNL.

Installing new access holes (up to 6 feet in diameter) could reduce the overall time and cost to retrieve waste from Hanford's underground storage tanks, according to a structural analysis of the tank domes by PNNL and Becht Engineering.

Scientists created a fast-track tutorial that equips a neural network to tackle drug discovery and other applications where there's a shortage of precisely labeled chemical data.

A detailed analysis of blood samples from Ebola patients in Sierra Leone is providing clues about the progression of the effects of the virus and potential treatment pathways. The findings point to a critical role for a molecular pathway.
