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

PNNL research has created a unique video that shows oxygen bubbles inflating and later deflating inside a tiny lithium-air battery. The knowledge gained from the video could help make lithium-air batteries that are more compact, stable and

High performance computing researcher Shuaiwen Leon Song asked if hardware called 3D stacked memory could do something it was never designed to do — help render 3D graphics.

Scientists trying to understand the paths crystals take as they form have been able to influence that path, revealing insights that could lead to better control of drug development, energy technologies. And food.

A new capability at PNNL will be able to replicate how nations process plutonium. Researchers will process small amounts of plutonium which they will analyze, using nuclear forensics techniques, to discover signatures.

When water comes in for a landing on the common catalyst titanium oxide, it splits into hydroxyls just under half the time. Water's oxygen and hydrogen atoms shift back and forth between existing as water or hydroxyls, and water has the sli

Bo Peng, a Linus Pauling Fellow and molecular sciences researcher at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, was recognized at the Sanibel Symposium with the Löwdin Postdoctoral Associate Award.

International and national news outlets are quoting PNNL's Ram Devanathan as an expert in membrane separation as they report on a new nano-sieve.

Nanoparticles morph through life, sprouting changes in the way they react chemically.

ACS Geochemistry Division honors rock researcher

At next week's American Chemical Society meeting, experts spanning a wide range of disciplines will get together to toss around ideas on technologies to capture the carbon dioxide.

At the center of many research teams are women — scientists and engineers who chase mystery and replace it with discoveries.

A scientific presentation by bioinformatician Jason McDermott on 'big data' this week is a big departure from conventional presentations.

PNNL's Chongmin Wang has been elected to the rank of fellow in the Materials Research Society

Greater WSU grad student presence at PNNL

PNNL has been chosen to lead an Exascale Computing Project co-design center focused on graph analytics.

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.

Two teams honored for transferring PNNL developed technologies to market.

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.
