Software that can reason like an analyst and a new way of disinfecting rooms won awards from the Federal Laboratory Consortium.

PNNL is helping to create open-access power grid datasets for use in testing new grid technologies.

PNNL researchers get new opportunities to shape the country’s power grid for the future.

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.

School's out, which means a new group of interns is settling into summer research assignments with mentors at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland.

For decades, the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has played a role in establishing and maintaining sustainable hydropower for the region.

There’s a big energy challenge on our hands and the need for a solution is imminent.

Led by Battelle in collaboration with the Bonneville Power Administration, the Pacific Northwest Smart Grid Demonstration Project is the largest field test of smart grid systems to date.
