PNNL will help companies make lighter weight vehicles.

Once cooled, this molten glass can trap radioactive waste for thousands of years.

El-Khoury and Johnson are exploring the properties of extremely small structures that could, one day, change how we produce energy and manufacture chemicals.

For 25 years, the Southern Great Plains observatory of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Climate Research Facility has produced data allowing scientists to better understand our planet.

Power plants could capture their carbon emissions while using half the energy of traditional carbon capture methods with water-lean carbon capture solvents.

Scientists have improved our ability to interpret one of the most common measures of the temperature of Earth's oceans in the distant past.

A giant inflatable 'plug' helps safeguard subway tunnels against flood waters.

Detailed view of a troubling layer offers insights for a better battery.

PNNL is studying the movement of lamprey fish, which are culturally and historically important to the Pacific Northwest, on rivers and through hydroelectric dams.

Emissions of isoprene, a compound from plant matter that wields great influence in the atmosphere, are up to three times higher in the Amazon rainforest than scientists have thought.

The May 18, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens clouded the Pacific Northwest prompted a trove of research for some PNNL scientists.

Forces push and pull on tiny particles as they assemble themselves into larger crystals.

Clouds in the eastern North Atlantic region will come under scrutiny from a bevy of airplane-based instruments this summer as scientists analyze the physical and chemical properties of clouds and aerosols.

Man-made pollution in eastern China's cities worsens when less dust blows in from the Gobi Desert, according to a new study in Nature Communications.

80 years after the Hindenburg disaster, it still influences perceptions about the use of hydrogen as a vehicle fuel, but hydrogen, like gasoline, can be handled and used safely.

Organic matter found in vast quantities in oxygen-starved floodplains would yield only minimal energy for hungry microorganisms, which spurn the meal, researchers show in a study in Nature Geoscience.

PNNL is world-renowned for its expertise in glass formulation and processing — knowledge that is instrumental to the work done in partnership with the DOE Office of River Protection to develop the vitrification process.

Science is FUNdamental for kids day at PNNL

For the first time, researchers have measured the force that draws tiny crystals together and visualized how they swivel and align. Called van der Waals forces, the attraction provides insights into how crystals self-assemble, an activity t

Small particles of pollution and dust make clouds brighter, and now scientists have figured out a way to better use data to improve our understanding of how this process affects the planet's climate.
