Jonathan Forman, science and technology advisor at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, was announced as the winner of the Hall of Fame award in the innovator category by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
Five PNNL technologies were recently awarded six R&D 100 honors. The R&D 100 Awards, now in its 58th year, recognize pioneers in science and technology from industry, the federal government, and academia.
Making sure there’s enough electricity at the lowest price is a critical endeavor undertaken daily by electricity market operators. Now, there’s an approach that provides more timely and accurate information to make day-ahead decisions.
The National Nuclear Security Administration Graduate Fellowship Program has welcomed aboard the Class of 2020—53 graduate students placed (virtually for now) with offices across the nuclear security enterprise.
Contributions from researchers across Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) were recently recognized in the preliminary findings of a Secretary of Energy Advisory Board (SEAB) report.
Scientists at PNNL have contributed much of the nuclear science that underlies an international monitoring system designed to detect nuclear explosions worldwide. The system detects radioxenon anywhere on the planet.
A new PNNL report says the western U.S. power system can handle large-scale vehicle electrification up to 24 million vehicles through 2028, but more than that and cities could start feeling the squeeze.
PNNL's Northwest Regional Technology Center interviews Assistant Chief of Resource Management for Seattle Fire Department Willie Barrington about how his team faced the unknown when the COVID-19 pandemic hit Seattle, Washington.
PNNL and Oklahoma State University join forces to understand the chemistry of sodium-ion and potassium-ion batteries thanks to an award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).
Their consistency and predictability makes tidal energy attractive, not only as a source of electricity but, potentially, as a mechanism to provide reliability and resilience to regional or local power grids.
A strong interdisciplinary team with a high-performance track record recently received their third Award of Excellence in five years from the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).
PNNL and WSU researchers have improved the performance and life cycle of sodium-ion battery technology to narrow the gap with some lithium-ion batteries.
Like many graduates crossing the finish line in 2020, the National Nuclear Security Administration Graduate Fellowship Program class of 2019-2020 transitioned its closing ceremony to a virtual environment, joined by NNSA and PNNL leaders.
PNNL’s Patrick Balducci delivered an information-packed tutorial on grid energy storage valuation at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.
Ten staff members from PNNL were invited to attend and lead the various breakout sessions at the Department of Energy Office of Science 5G Enabled Energy Innovation Workshop (5GEEIW), which was held in early March.
PNNL and the National Nuclear Security Administration are building future leaders for nuclear security through the NNSA Graduate Fellowship Program, a hands-on fellowship spanning the nuclear security enterprise.
A team of researchers is working to expand our uranium chemistry understanding using a surprising tool: lasers. This capability gives never-before-seen insight into uranium gas-phase oxidation during nuclear explosions.
David Senor, PNNL researcher and tritium expert, has been named to the Texas A&M University Nuclear Engineering Advisory Council. This appointment follows Senor’s eight consecutive years of mentoring Texas A&M’s nuclear engineering senior
The Energy Storage System Safety and Reliability Forum at PNNL brought together more than 120 energy storage experts from the U.S. Department of Energy, the national laboratories, utilities, industry and academia.
