Scientists are using generative AI to improve cyber defenses, speeding up a process known as adversary emulation.

PNNL researchers are opening up a new front in the fight to stop viral pathogens, protecting people against multiple viruses.

A study by researchers at PNNL assessed the feasibility of using strontium isotope ratios and an existing machine learning–based model to predict and verify a product’s source—in this case, honey.

PNNL brings its expertise to the space domain by joining an organization that facilitates collaboration across the global space industry.

As Laboratory Director Steve Ashby pens his last monthly column, he highlights PNNL’s accomplishments with pride and gratitude.

Researchers at PNNL shared advances in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, advanced imaging, and more at the Department of Homeland Security Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation Summit.

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.

This study used historical data, remote sensing, and aquatic sensors to measure how far wildfire impacts propagated through the watershed after the 2022 Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon fire, New Mexico’s largest wildfire in history.

The Coastal Observations, Mechanisms, and Predictions Across Systems and Scales: Field, Measurements, and Experiments project established a network of observational field sites across Chesapeake Bay and western Lake Erie.

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.

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.
