Ultra-thin layers of silk deposited on graphene in perfect alignment represent a key advance for the control needed in microelectronics and advanced neural network development.

A launch from Cape Canaveral early today carried a PNNL experiment to space so scientists can learn more about radiation far above Earth.

Dedication of the new hybrid-electric research vessel, the RV Resilience, was celebrated by laboratory, state and federal officials.

Three PNNL technologies have been named 2024 R&D 100 Award winners.

New findings document fewer ship tracks, reduced cloud cover, and boosted warming after ship emissions regulations took effect in 2020.

As launch time draws near, PNNL scientists are eager to explore how plants might grow in space, where the effect of gravity is substantially weaker.

Climate change is bringing more extreme summer weather, from heat waves to hurricanes, that can disrupt the flow of electricity. Here’s how PNNL scientists are working on solutions to protect the nation’s electric grid.

Accessing groundwater may become more difficult—and more expensive—as groundwater supplies become increasingly scarce and underground aquifer levels fall.

Researchers will explore climate, pathogens and energy-efficient microelectronics using 3 million node hours on the nation’s supercomputers.

PNNL’s patented Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion (ShAPE™) technique is an advanced manufacturing technology that enables better-performing materials and components while offering opportunities to reduce costs and energy consumption.

Once thought to cover too little of the Earth’s surface to affect climate at larger scales, new work finds that city sprawl does add to global warming—over land, at least.

Complex metal alloys enter a new era of predictive design for aerospace and other high-temperature applications.

Researchers are leveraging the ocean’s natural processes to advance approaches to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the ocean.

A new study suggests accessing groundwater in key regions could become prohibitively expensive as lower-cost stores are used up.

New work finds hurricanes are intensifying faster close to the coast—a trend that’s likely to ramp up in a warmer world.

A breakthrough in electron microscopy based on deep learning can automatically visualize and identify areas of interest, helping to speed advances in materials science.

A nontoxic separation process recovers critical minerals from electronic scrap waste.

Researchers seek to bring down costs, address potential environmental risks and maximize the benefits of harnessing wind energy above the deep waters of the Pacific.

Scientists stop the motion of atoms to watch electrons move in liquid water.

Visual Sample Plan, a free software tool developed at PNNL that boosts statistics-based planning, has been recognized with a 2024 Federal Laboratory Consortium Award.
