As electricity grids incorporate renewables, several factors will constrain future output, according to a new paper.

A newly developed, highly conductive copper wire could find applications in the electric grid, as well as in homes and businesses. The finding defies what's been thought about how metals conduct electricity.

A team of researchers received an award for their contributions to improving the operational readiness and safety posture of the firefighter community by conducting a rigorous evaluation of commercially available equipment.

PNNL has created the Center for AI @PNNL to coordinate the pioneering research of hundreds of scientists working on a range of projects in artificial intelligence.

Hi-C metagenomics-informed phage-host infection networks detected in soil pre- and post-drying.

A seemingly simple shift in lithium-ion battery manufacturing could pay big dividends, improving electric vehicles’ ability to store more energy per charge and to withstand more charging cycles.

If current warming trends continue, heat waves like Washington's deadliest could grow stronger and afflict the Pacific Northwest more often.

Understanding the risk of compound energy droughts—times when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow—will help grid planners understand where energy storage is needed most.

Scientists at PNNL have published a new article that focuses on understanding the composition, dynamics, and deployment of beneficial soil microbiomes to get the most out of soil.

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

More than a dozen PNNL scientists have been named among the world’s most influential researchers on Clarivate’s 2023 Highly Cited Researchers List.

This is the first time a flow battery with 24-hour discharge capacity will be deployed and tested in a field environment.

Scientists recently developed a flow direction model which produces high-quality flow routing parameters on any mesh system.

Researchers use models to represent relationships between climate and socio-economic processes, helping inform decisions for slowing climate change and enhancing resilience.

Input from humans helps when deciding whether to trust the recommendations or decisions of a machine-learning system.

Battery energy storage systems are being proposed in municipalities across the U.S. PNNL researchers can help community planners guide safe siting and operations.

PNNL scientists took thousands of measurements of firefighters in training to learn more about how the body responds to vigorous exercise.

A team of researchers from PNNL provided technical knowledge and support to test a suite of techniques that detect genetically modified bacteria, viruses, and cells.

Soil is a massive reservoir of carbon, holding three times the amount of carbon than in the atmosphere. Soil is a massive reservoir of carbon, holding three times the amount of carbon than in the atmosphere.
