A newly developed, highly conductive copper wire could find applications in the electric grid, as well as in homes and businesses. The finding defies what's been thought about how metals conduct electricity.
A team of researchers received an award for their contributions to improving the operational readiness and safety posture of the firefighter community by conducting a rigorous evaluation of commercially available equipment.
PNNL has created the Center for AI @PNNL to coordinate the pioneering research of hundreds of scientists working on a range of projects in artificial intelligence.
A seemingly simple shift in lithium-ion battery manufacturing could pay big dividends, improving electric vehicles’ ability to store more energy per charge and to withstand more charging cycles.
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.
Battery energy storage systems are being proposed in municipalities across the U.S. PNNL researchers can help community planners guide safe siting and operations.
Leaders from the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy visited PNNL October 19–20 for a firsthand look at capabilities and research progress.
Clean hydrogen energy infrastructure is coming to the Pacific Northwest with a newly announced hydrogen hub, and PNNL experts are advising the work to come.
Floating offshore wind farms could potentially triple the Pacific Northwest's wind power capacity while offsetting billions of dollars in costs for utilities, ratepayers, insurance companies, and others.
Rechargeable battery performance could be improved by a new understanding of how batteries work at the molecular level. Researchers at PNNL upend what's known about how rechargeable batteries function.
PNNL is honoring its postdoctoral researchers as part of the fourteenth annual National Postdoc Appreciation Week with seven profiles of postdocs from around the Laboratory.
