From energy storage to cybersecurity, this 2023 wrap-up offers a glimpse of PNNL innovations with a seasonal twist.

PNNL researchers are helping to better define the need for grid energy storage in future clean energy scenarios, as well as working to improve technologies for storing renewable energy so it's available when and where it's needed.

By mimicking nature, scientists make a breakthrough in breaking down wood.

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.

Interns dive into important research that addresses national needs.

Projects range from improving analytical instruments to producing precision prototypes.

Road tripping? PNNL’s researchers driving science and technology for clean, efficient and convenient transportation.

PNNL and industry developing a faster, less expensive way to extract lithium for batteries used in cell phones and electric vehicles.

PNNL is rock solid on carbon storage, building on successful demonstration in eastern Washington.

Researchers developed two solutions for air-conditioning—a novel, energy-efficient dehumidification system and a technology to detect refrigerant leaks. Both help increase energy-efficiency and reduce costs.

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

PNNL scientists are learning how to harness wind to secure a brighter, cleaner energy future.

Superman may be known as the "Man of Steel," but scientific superheroes at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are developing a novel approach for manufacturing metals with superior strength.

PNNL is advancing scientific frontiers and addressing challenges in energy, the environment and national security. So, in no particular order, here are PNNL's top 10 research accomplishments of 2018

Imagine a nascent crack in the sidewalk that heals itself rather than growing into an eyesore or a tripping hazard.

Imagine a hollow tube thousands of times smaller than a human hair. Now envision filthy water flowing through an array of such tubes, each designed to capture contaminants on the inside, with clean water emerging at the other end.

Great organizations anticipate their customers' needs and then meet those needs before—and better—than anyone else.

It has been said that invention is the process of turning money into ideas and innovation is the process of turning ideas into money.
