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.

PNNL chemical engineer Mariefel Olarte shares passion for mentoring students and the next-generation workforce.

ChemReasoner combines decades of chemistry knowledge with large language models to propose strategies for effective new catalysts.

PNNL is one of the founding partners of the Trillion Parameter Consortium, which was formed to create reliable generative AI models.

Highly precise and controllable single-atom catalysts are affected by reaction conditions, which can alter the bonding around the atoms and the activity.

Newly developed models can help rapidly optimize systems to meet the need for rapidly deployable commercial carbon capture.

PNNL’s contributions over the last year span scientific discovery, sustainable energy and national security.

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

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.

The Co-Optimization of Fuels & Engines initiative recently outlined six years of research in a findings and impact report.

Tuning the environment and platinum-group metal allows researchers to control which bonds the catalyst breaks using hydrogen.

PNNL’s new Energy Sciences Center has capabilities for scientists to advance solutions for storing clean hydrogen in chemical bonds.

Despite the challenges, the talented and dedicated staff at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory kept delivering for the nation.

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.
