Understanding the risk of compound energy droughts—times when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow—will help grid planners understand where energy storage is needed most.

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.

PNNL licensed two technologies to generate hydrogen. One, a reactor design, generates hydrogen from natural gas. The second innovation uses a 3D printing method to economically manufacture the generator.

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

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.

Plug and Play DER Challenge seeks to enable distributed energy technologies to integrate, connect and operate in harmony on the power grid.

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

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

PNNL has been honored with three awards for excellence in transferring technologies to private sector by the Federal Laboratory Consortium.

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.

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

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.

Pointing the finger at chemical criminals: Several scientists from PNNL and other institutions will discuss new methods and approaches at the American Chemical Society's national meeting in San Francisco April 2-6.

Calcium carbonate found in chalk, shells and rocks is one of the most important materials on earth. New insights on how it turns into hard, strong materials will help scientists design materials needed for a low-carbon future.

Nuisance alarm rates in radiation detectors at seaports and ports of entry are down significantly due to PNNL data analysis efforts that are saving time and money at the ports.
