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.
National Security project manager Jamie Hughes has been selected as a member of the 2020 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Project Leadership Institute (PLI) cohort. Hughes will join 25 colleagues in the year-long program.
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.
In today’s digital age, the rabbit hole of connected information can be not only a time sink, but downright overwhelming. Even for high-performance computers.
Francesca Grogan grew up in Southern California, gravitated to competitive swimming, and chose to stay close to her geographical roots for her undergraduate and postgraduate studies.
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.
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.
Trouble on the electric grid might start with something relatively small: a downed power line, or a lightning strike at a substation. What happens next?
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.
