A study of mountaintop clouds over Colorado has delivered crucial information to help answer several scientific questions, including how Saharan dust affects clouds over North America.

Greater WSU grad student presence at PNNL

PNNL scientists recently gave a crash course on soil to young children at a local elementary school, dishing up the dirt on soil.

New research shows adding a pinch of chemical additive to a lithium-metal battery's electrolyte helps make rechargeable batteries that are stable, charge quickly, and go longer in between charges.

PNNL's Ruby Leung and Johannes Lercher elected to membership in the National Academy of Engineering.

Using a natural catalyst from bacteria for inspiration, researchers have now reported the fastest synthetic catalysts to date for hydrogen production-- producing 45 million hydrogen molecules per second.

Super typhoons grow more intense when their fresh rains reduce the ocean below's salinity.

Intriguing images that reveal innovative scientific research will be on display in Olympia and Seattle through early April.

2017 Science as Art calendar now available online

Scientists have witnessed the birth of atmospheric ice clouds, creating ice cloud crystals in the laboratory and then taking images of the process through a microscope.

New approach to monitoring sequestered carbon dioxide movement to be presented at AGU.

Water is unlike other substances because its solid form — like this iceberg — is less dense than its liquid form — like this ocean. Scientists are studying other weird properties of water.

Oil spills could be cleaned up in the icy, rough waters of the Arctic with a chemically modified sawdust material that absorbs up to five times its weight in oil and stays afloat for at least four months.

PNNL scientists will discuss their research on more than 100 topics at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco next week.

PNNL is supporting today's announcement by the White House about efforts related to soil sustainability by sponsoring research projects through two research initiatives.

The temperature difference between the Southern Great Plains and the ocean produces winds that carry moisture from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Plains, fueling more intense storms as the climate warms.

Warming temperatures will contribute to the release of carbon into the atmosphere, according to research published today in Nature.

This mineral helps the oil industry process petroleum. Understanding how it gets clogged up will improve its lifespan.
