The low-temperature breakdown of polyolefins is driven by carbenium ions generated from chloroaluminate ionic liquids.

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

PNNL chemist and AI scientist Nancy Washton invited to present on AI literacy at National Science Bowl.

PNNL's “co-scientist” serves as a one-stop AI shop for accelerating scientific discovery. By leveraging AI agents, researchers can explore scientific databases, conduct analyses and request step-by-step plans for testing their hypotheses.

PNNL’s Yong Wang has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering and will be inducted in October.

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

PNNL chemical engineer Mariefel Olarte shares passion for mentoring students and the next-generation workforce.

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

PNNL and one of the world’s largest tire makers will work to develop a commercially viable process that converts ethanol derived from sustainable sources or waste, like recycled tires, to butadiene, synthetic rubber’s main ingredient.

Future holiday homecomings could include efficient heat pumps in cold climates and homes designed and built with the environment in mind.

PNNL chemist Mark Engelhard has been chosen as president-elect of AVS Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing

Tuning the environment of supported palladium atoms with hydrogen treatment enhances their catalytic activity.

Research that modeled increased heat pump adoption alongside climate change impacts in Texas showed that high-efficiency heat pumps buffer the strain that electric heating might put on the power grid.

Battelle Fellow Johannes Lercher was elected a Foreign Academician by the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical, and Natural Sciences of Spain for his contributions to chemical science.

Secretary Granholm praises heat pump workforce development efforts at this year's instructor training program.

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.

A switchable single-atom catalyst is activated in the presence of surface intermediates and reverts to its stable inactive form when the reaction is completed.

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.
