Suresh Baskaran was recently named a fellow of the American Ceramics Society, making him one of seventeen members elevated to fellow status in 2021.

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.

The most polluted U.S. communities from five years ago are still the most polluted today, 50 years after passage of the Clean Air Act amendments of 1970.

Suresh Baskaran, PNNL director of research partnerships, was one of four directors that WSAS members elected in June to serve three-year terms.

New study elucidates the complex relaxation kinetics of supercooled water using a pulsed laser heating technique at previously inaccessible temperatures.

Soil texture and environmental history play a strong role in how different soils respond to moisture extremes like drought and flood.

Researchers used instruments in an airborne lab to characterize aerosol particles and their sources over the remote Eastern North Atlantic.

Three recent doctoral graduates are beginning their research careers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory after completing the WSU-PNNL Distinguished Graduate Research Program this spring.
