The PNNL-developed UF6 Gas Enrichment Sensor (UGES) prototype is the next generation of a previous enrichment monitoring device—namely the Online Enrichment Monitor. UGES will increase the accuracy of uranium measurements.
Researchers at PNNL share a research- and practitioner-informed approach to assess the threat landscape, elicit and integrate feedback into solutions, and ultimately share outcomes with the emergency response and public safety community.
Predicting how organisms’ characteristics respond to not only their genes, but also their environments (a nascent field called predictive phenomics), is extraordinarily challenging. Researchers at PNNL are using AI to tackle that challenge.
A breakthrough at PNNL could free friction stir from current constraints—and open the door for increased use of the advanced manufacturing technique on commercial assembly lines.
Peter Heine, senior advisor in the Strategic Threat Analysis group at PNNL, recently travelled to Brussels, Belgium, to support the World Customs Organization's Operation Stingray.
A team of researchers at PNNL has received the 2025 National Nuclear Security Administration CIO Award for developing an innovative solution to enhance secure communications.
PNNL researchers have found yet another way to turn trash into treasure: using algal biochar, a waste production from hydrothermal liquefaction, as a supplementary material for cement.
This summer, PNNL hosted the inaugural “As Conductive As Copper” (AC2.0) workshop, fostering a collaborative conversation on the future of the U.S. copper supply chain.
PNNL researchers continue to deliver high-quality, high-impact research on radioactive waste and nuclear materials management, earning “Papers of Note” and “Superior Paper” awards.
Through an unprecedented collaboration with Idaho, Savannah River, and Argonne national laboratories, the Athena Project has built a network of nearly 150 scientists.
Aaron Luttman and Jonathan Forman represented PNNL at the high-profile "Risk and Reduction Science and Policy Forum" organized by Johns Hopkins University and supported by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
