PNNL recently hosted a training exercise that immersed the U.S. Coast Guard 2013 Cyber Protection Team in a lifelike simulation of a cyberattack on a U.S. port terminal.

PNNL has created and licensed a system that sniffs out trace levels of fentanyl, other drugs and explosives through the air.

CESER and PNNL convened a three-day summit with more than 100 state officials, cybersecurity experts, and industry leaders across 35 states to advance energy security planning, cyber risk assessment, and fortify protections against attacks.

Danny Herrera, a systems engineer and leader in the National Security Directorate at PNNL, has been named the new co-director of the Institute for Cybersecurity and Resilient Infrastructure Studies.

Directionally biased electrostatic interactions are the key to significantly tuning the reduction potential of iron/sulfur clusters.

PNNL was recognized for its significant contributions to projects at the Secretary’s Honor Awards Ceremony in Washington, D.C.

Lauren Charles, a chief data scientist at PNNL, showcased the vital research coming out of her program at The National Academies Forum workshop in Washington, D.C., January 15–16, 2025.

Scientists are exploring how web search engine technology might also keep the lights on, the water running and the trains moving.

PNNL’s year in review includes highlights ranging from advancing soil science to understanding Earth systems, expanding electricity transmission, detecting fentanyl, and applying artificial intelligence to aid scientific discovery.

The Testing Risks of AI for National Security Taskforce will address critical safety and security concerns related to artificial intelligence.

Scientists are developing ways to detect previously unseen forms of fentanyl as well as other synthetic opioids known as nitazenes.

Protecting critical systems such as the electrical grid from cyber-based risks to the supply chain is the focus of a new PNNL conference.

Operators of critical infrastructure are trained to respond to cyberattacks using scale models of water treatment plants, freight rail yards, and more.

Ryan Eddy, director of homeland security programs at PNNL, was recognized as one of 50 trailblazers by Homeland Security Today.

At PNNL, researchers are taking a wider look at the system through the supply chain’s lifecycle and subcomponents to determine the big-picture risks.

PNNL biodefense experts seek to identify, understand and mitigate the risks of biological pathogens—whether naturally occurring or intentionally created—so steps can be taken to prepare and respond.

From enhancing biofuel crops to setting up automated experiments and improving energy storage—interns at PNNL are making an impact.

Early life exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), found in smoke, has been linked to developmental problems. To study the impacts of these pollutants, PAH metabolism in infants and adults were compared.

Scientists have developed a way to detect tiny amounts of hard-to-detect explosives more than eight feet away.

PMedIC, the PNNL and OHSU joint research collaboration, contributes to student success and impact in biomedicine.
