PNNL researchers created rugged, adaptable, mass-manufacturable luminescent particle tracers for use in harsh environments.

Ancient seawater pockets offer a new source of clues to climate change in vanished oceans and our own.

The world's current climate pledges won't limit global warming to 1.5 °C. We will overshoot. A new study shows that more ambitious climate pledges could minimize the overshoot.

A new discovery simultaneously reduces the need for rare and expensive platinum and improves its ability to speed up economically important chemical reactions.

Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.

Some rocks can potentially convert injected carbon dioxide into more stable solid minerals. A new review article explores what scientists know about the atom-by-atom process.

A new study shows for the first time that wildfires burning in West Coast states can, despite great distance, strengthen storms in downwind states.

Climate change sets the stage for hurricanes to rapidly intensify faster, bringing wetter storms to the U.S. Atlantic Coast and other coastlines.

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

New research from PNNL sheds light on how crystals form using atomic force microscopy.

Plastic upcycling efficiently converts plastics to valuable commodity chemicals while using less of the precious metal ruthenium. The method could recycle waste plastic pollution into useful products, helping keep it out of landfills.

As wildfires grow increasingly severe, PNNL researchers are working to slow their spread and mitigate their harmful effects.

EGRASS helps prepare and fortify critical structures to protect against the worst consequences of new hurricanes.

Tiffany Kaspar’s work has advanced the discovery and understanding of oxide materials, helping develop electronics, quantum computing, and energy production. She strives to communicate her science to the public.

The Washington State Academy of Sciences added six people from PNNL to its 2022 class of inductees.

Jie Xiao, a world leader in electrochemical energy storage, has received the E.O. Lawrence Award from the Department of Energy.

Materials Scientist Jim De Yoreo guides a team that develops novel materials and understands how they form through collaboration and mentorship.

An innovative artificial enzyme has shown it can chew through woody lignin, an abundant carbon-based substance that stores tremendous potential for renewable energy and materials.

High-resolution observations show that proteins move in both expected and unexpected ways when bonded to a mineral surface.

Morris Bullock has led PNNL's pursuit of the efficient conversion of electrical energy and chemical bonds through control of electron and proton transfers.
