Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.

A new study shows for the first time that wildfires burning in West Coast states can, despite great distance, strengthen storms in downwind states.

Climate change sets the stage for hurricanes to rapidly intensify faster, bringing wetter storms to the U.S. Atlantic Coast and other coastlines.

Across the United States, water moving between the river and riverbed sediments does not overcome localized processes that govern organic matter chemistry.

A PNNL research team has been recognized by the American Chemical Society with its Award for Affordable Green Chemistry.

From landfills to fill-ups: novel catalysts may make plastic upcycling cleaner and more cost-effective.

The American Chemical Society Richland Section has been recognized by its national organization with the Best Overall Section Minority Affairs award for 2022.

Wendy Shaw begins an initial two-year appointment to the editorial advisory board of Sustainable Energy & Fuels.

We are pleased to welcome 20 new joint appointees to PNNL.

Researchers isolated a molecular copper hydride monomer for the first time.

Plastic upcycling efficiently converts plastics to valuable commodity chemicals while using less of the precious metal ruthenium. The method could recycle waste plastic pollution into useful products, helping keep it out of landfills.

Interns dive into important research that addresses national needs.

The Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm made her first in-person visit to PNNL, a leading center for scientific discovery and technical innovation in sustainable energy.

Joint appointee Jenny Yang named an associate editor of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

A process developed at PNNL that converts biomass and waste into a chemical intermediate or into gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel is available for commercial licensing.

A new simple and scalable synthesis produces nanoparticle assemblies that can perform catalytic hydrogen sensing at room temperature for the first time.

A study that combined experiments and theory showed how model enzymes control challenging reactions involving highly reactive carbocations.

As wildfires grow increasingly severe, PNNL researchers are working to slow their spread and mitigate their harmful effects.

EGRASS helps prepare and fortify critical structures to protect against the worst consequences of new hurricanes.

PNNL Senior Scientist Jamie Holladay has been named a Distinguished Inventor of Battelle.
