From energy storage to cybersecurity, this 2023 wrap-up offers a glimpse of PNNL innovations with a seasonal twist.

Scientists are studying tiny subatomic particles that pass through humans and possess clues about the origins of the universe.

PNNL’s software tool brings together artificial intelligence and satellite imagery to help responders assess damage and take action.

Summer is for science! PNNL’s interns are diving into science and technology and getting a front-row view of the research and development of a national laboratory.

Artificial intelligence may help humans and computers work together to monitor materials that could be used to make weapons.

PNNL’s contributions over the last year span scientific discovery, sustainable energy and national security.

Twenty years after the first radiation portal monitor was installed, PNNL continues supporting the Department of Homeland Security’s efforts to detect and prevent terrorist weapons from crossing our borders.

From landfills to fill-ups: novel catalysts may make plastic upcycling cleaner and more cost-effective.

Interns dive into important research that addresses national needs.

Projects range from improving analytical instruments to producing precision prototypes.

From water purification, to better batteries and tools to foil a cyberattack—a look back at how PNNL helped to invent a brighter and better future over the last year.

PNNL is rock solid on carbon storage, building on successful demonstration in eastern Washington.

PNNL’s new Energy Sciences Center has capabilities for scientists to advance solutions for storing clean hydrogen in chemical bonds.

Science and engineering solutions helping keep America safe from explosive, radiological, biological and cyber threats.

Research and development expertise aligns with national priorities in clean energy innovation and climate change mitigation. A workforce of 5,000 delivers scientific discovery, enables sustainable energy, and enhances national security.

Despite the challenges, the talented and dedicated staff at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory kept delivering for the nation.

PNNL’s expertise is the foundation for monitoring technology that identifies trace amounts of radioactive materials and determines whether they are indicative of a nuclear explosion.

Imagine a nascent crack in the sidewalk that heals itself rather than growing into an eyesore or a tripping hazard.

Peering through the thick, green glass of a decades-old "hot cell," an expert technician manipulates robotic arms to study highly radioactive waste from Hanford, in support of ongoing cleanup.

While some of us may periodically ponder the universe, most of us don't dedicate our lives to studying its mysteries, including its birth, evolution and fate.
