PNNL's “co-scientist” serves as a one-stop AI shop for accelerating scientific discovery. By leveraging AI agents, researchers can explore scientific databases, conduct analyses and request step-by-step plans for testing their hypotheses.
Over the next four years, PNNL and University of Arizona will develop open-source computational tools to better identify and characterize the viruses associated with the human microbiome.
By combining computational modeling with experimental research, scientists identified a promising composition that reduces the need for a critical material in an alloy that can withstand extreme environments.
Researchers developed a robust, cost-effective, and easy-to-use cap-based technique for spatial proteome mapping, addressing the lack of accessible proteomics technologies for studying tissue heterogeneity and microenvironments.
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.
PNNL and one of the world’s largest tire makers will work to develop a commercially viable process that converts ethanol derived from sustainable sources or waste, like recycled tires, to butadiene, synthetic rubber’s main ingredient.
Battelle Fellow Johannes Lercher was elected a Foreign Academician by the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical, and Natural Sciences of Spain for his contributions to chemical science.
PNNL researchers have developed a new, physics-informed machine learning model that accurately predicts how heat accumulates and dissipates during friction stir processing.
A switchable single-atom catalyst is activated in the presence of surface intermediates and reverts to its stable inactive form when the reaction is completed.
