The American Society for Quality (ASQ) has recognized Laboratory Fellow and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Statistician Greg Piepel with the William G. Hunter Award.
In a new review, PNNL researchers outline how to convert stranded biomass to sustainable fuel using electrochemical reduction reactions in mini-refineries powered by renewable energy.
An international team used PNNL microscopy to answer questions about how uranium dioxide—used in nuclear power plants—might behave in long-term storage.
A cadre of physical scientists, engineers and computing experts at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is poised to participate in the launch of three new DOE Office of Science-sponsored quantum information science research centers.
This research addresses two topics that are not well understood in literature: the interplay between organic linkers and substrates during MOF crystallization, as well as the mechanisms that control heterostructure formation in solutions.
A new radiation-resistant material for the efficient capture of noble gases xenon and krypton makes it safer and cheaper to recycle spent nuclear fuel.
A 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan that knocked out a nuclear power plant helped inspire PNNL computational scientists looking for clues of future nuclear reactor mishaps by tracking radioactive iodine.
PNNL atomic-scale research shows how certain metal oxide catalysts behave during alkanol dehydration, an important class of oxygen-removal reactions for biomass conversion.
International editing team provided 15-year update, with Devanathan focused on intersection of nuclear science, materials science, and multiscale modeling.
PNNL scientists have created an improved metal-organic framework (MOF) for adsorption cooling, that performs at least 40 percent better than its predecessors.
PNNL and Oklahoma State University join forces to understand the chemistry of sodium-ion and potassium-ion batteries thanks to an award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).
Corresponding PNNL authors assembled a team of experts to show that supercritical carbon dioxide is a promising media for the construction of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
Twelve energy-related technologies developed at PNNL have been selected for additional technology maturation funding to help move them from the laboratory and field tests to the marketplace.
