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

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

Yong Wang, a catalysis researcher at PNNL and WSU, was selected to receive the annual fellow award given by the Industrial & Engineering Chemistry division of the American Chemical Society.

At next week's American Chemical Society meeting, experts spanning a wide range of disciplines will get together to toss around ideas on technologies to capture the carbon dioxide.

At the center of many research teams are women — scientists and engineers who chase mystery and replace it with discoveries.

PNNL's Ruby Leung and Johannes Lercher elected to membership in the National Academy of Engineering.

Using a natural catalyst from bacteria for inspiration, researchers have now reported the fastest synthetic catalysts to date for hydrogen production-- producing 45 million hydrogen molecules per second.

PNNL's Morris Bullock and Jud Virden selected as fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for achievements that advance science and its applications.

This mineral helps the oil industry process petroleum. Understanding how it gets clogged up will improve its lifespan.

Discovery in action. These words describe what we do at PNNL. For more than 50 years, we have advanced the frontiers of science and engineering in the service of our nation and the the world.
