Researchers at PNNL are scrutinizing the factors that influence the intensity of hurricanes like Irma, Harvey and Jose.

Jiwen Fan has been selected to receive a 2017 Early Career Research Program award from the U.S. Department of Energy and will use the award to study severe thunderstorms in the central United States.

Scientists, community leaders and others will gather Aug. 3-4 to celebrate the achievements of the first 20 years of EMSL, the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory.

Ruby Leung, an expert on some of the most basic processes that influence our planet, has been named a Battelle Fellow – the highest recognition from Battelle for leadership and accomplishment in science.

Once cooled, this molten glass can trap radioactive waste for thousands of years.

PNNL's Zdenek Dohnálek has been elected as a fellow of the American Vacuum Society for his catalysis research that enables renewable energy.

For 25 years, the Southern Great Plains observatory of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Climate Research Facility has produced data allowing scientists to better understand our planet.

Power plants could capture their carbon emissions while using half the energy of traditional carbon capture methods with water-lean carbon capture solvents.

Scientists have improved our ability to interpret one of the most common measures of the temperature of Earth's oceans in the distant past.

PNNL is studying the movement of lamprey fish, which are culturally and historically important to the Pacific Northwest, on rivers and through hydroelectric dams.

The May 18, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens clouded the Pacific Northwest prompted a trove of research for some PNNL scientists.

80 years after the Hindenburg disaster, it still influences perceptions about the use of hydrogen as a vehicle fuel, but hydrogen, like gasoline, can be handled and used safely.

Organic matter found in vast quantities in oxygen-starved floodplains would yield only minimal energy for hungry microorganisms, which spurn the meal, researchers show in a study in Nature Geoscience.

PNNL is world-renowned for its expertise in glass formulation and processing — knowledge that is instrumental to the work done in partnership with the DOE Office of River Protection to develop the vitrification process.

Science is FUNdamental for kids day at PNNL

April 26 marks the 31st anniversary of the explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant's Unit 4 reactor. Battelle researchers at PNNL were involved in an international consortium to look at long-term safety and containment of Unit 4. T

High concentrations of tiny pollution particles can invigorate cloud formation and boost snowfall on mountains, according to a new study.

When water comes in for a landing on the common catalyst titanium oxide, it splits into hydroxyls just under half the time. Water's oxygen and hydrogen atoms shift back and forth between existing as water or hydroxyls, and water has the sli

PNNL scientists have developed a system to convert methane into an energy-rich substance that can be used as the basis for biofuels and even feed for cows that create the gas in the first place.

Rick Corley has been honored for his work modeling the full chain of human respiration, from organ, to tissue, to cell, and down to individual molecule.
