A newly developed, highly conductive copper wire could find applications in the electric grid, as well as in homes and businesses. The finding defies what's been thought about how metals conduct electricity.

A team of researchers received an award for their contributions to improving the operational readiness and safety posture of the firefighter community by conducting a rigorous evaluation of commercially available equipment.

PNNL has created the Center for AI @PNNL to coordinate the pioneering research of hundreds of scientists working on a range of projects in artificial intelligence.

If current warming trends continue, heat waves like Washington's deadliest could grow stronger and afflict the Pacific Northwest more often.

Understanding the risk of compound energy droughts—times when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow—will help grid planners understand where energy storage is needed most.

PNNL is one of the founding partners of the Trillion Parameter Consortium, which was formed to create reliable generative AI models.

This is the first time a flow battery with 24-hour discharge capacity will be deployed and tested in a field environment.

Scientists recently developed a flow direction model which produces high-quality flow routing parameters on any mesh system.

Researchers use models to represent relationships between climate and socio-economic processes, helping inform decisions for slowing climate change and enhancing resilience.

Input from humans helps when deciding whether to trust the recommendations or decisions of a machine-learning system.

Researchers created a methodology to design custom network topologies that improve the execution time for scientific applications.

PNNL’s DataLife tool analyzes and identifies bottlenecks in scientific workflows.

Battery energy storage systems are being proposed in municipalities across the U.S. PNNL researchers can help community planners guide safe siting and operations.

Ripples demonstration will take place at the DOE booth at the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis.

A larger HVAC workforce with training on modern heat pump technology will be pivotal to achieving the mass-scale electrification of household HVAC systems needed to meet building decarbonization goals.
