How to keep stray radiation from “shorting” superconducting qubits; a pair of studies shows where ionizing radiation is lurking and how to banish it.

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

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.

The Washington State Academy of Sciences added six people from PNNL to its 2022 class of inductees.

The Washington State Academy of Sciences consists of more than 300 elected members who are nationally recognized for their scientific and technical expertise.

Ultra-trace radiation detection technique sets new global standard for measuring the nearly immeasurable.

Scientists are exploring the use of deep neural network to interpret highly technical data related to national security, the environment and the cosmos.

For the first time, researchers have created a gram of yellowcake — a powdered form of uranium used to produce fuel for nuclear power production — using modified acrylic fibers to extract it from seawater.

Low-activity waste from Hanford tank vitrified for first time in a continuous process at PNNL.

PNNL's ultra pure copper and cooler part of search for answers about matter

PNNL researchers report in the journal Chem, that inexpensive materials called metal-organic frameworks have been very successful in separating xenon.

Radiochemical Processing Laboratory: Now a nuclear historic landmark.

PNNL scientists served as lead guest editors for a special issue of the Journal of Applied Radiation and Isotopes.

Scientist-detectives put themselves to the test.

PNNL research technician Jesse Lang's extracurricular passion for running has led him to run 38 super-long races, including 100-milers.

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

Steve Short, a nuclear engineer at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has been selected as a fellow of the National Society of Professional Engineers.

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.

April 26 marks the 31st anniversary of the explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant's Unit 4 reactor. Battelle researchers at PNNL were involved in an international consortium to look at long-term safety and containment of Unit 4. T

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.
