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 has received 119 R&D 100 Awards since 1969, when the laboratory began submitting entries in the contest that recognizes top 100 inventions each year.
Researchers at PNNL examined heat pump water heater (HPWH) operation in Pacific Northwest residences, gaining insights into HPWH electricity use patterns. Part of the study captured trends during a COVID-19 stay-at-home order.
PNNL’s energy-efficient dehumidifier may reduce energy consumption by up to 50% in residential A/C systems and increase the range of electric vehicles by up to 75%. The system has been licensed to Montana Technologies.
For the second straight year, PNNL researchers are featured in a special edition of the Journal of Information Warfare. This issue explores the topic of macro cyber resiliency.
PNNL has published a cybersecurity guidance report for marine renewable energy devices to prepare the blue economy for harnessing ocean power from waves, tides, and currents.
One year ago, Verizon announced a partnership that made PNNL the U.S. Department of Energy’s first national laboratory with Verizon 5G ultra-wideband wireless technology.
