New transmission lines and renewable energy projects would bring economic and climate change benefits to the Western United States’s electricity grid.

Three PNNL technologies have been named 2024 R&D 100 Award winners.

Although climate change may bring increased precipitation to many parts of the United States, some areas may face drier conditions and lower streamflow, resulting in decreased hydropower generation.

The Grid Storage Launchpad will enable researchers to accelerate and validate new battery materials and systems.

New findings document fewer ship tracks, reduced cloud cover, and boosted warming after ship emissions regulations took effect in 2020.

Scientists have developed a way to detect tiny amounts of hard-to-detect explosives more than eight feet away.

As launch time draws near, PNNL scientists are eager to explore how plants might grow in space, where the effect of gravity is substantially weaker.

Climate change is bringing more extreme summer weather, from heat waves to hurricanes, that can disrupt the flow of electricity. Here’s how PNNL scientists are working on solutions to protect the nation’s electric grid.

Clean hydrogen energy infrastructure is coming to the Pacific Northwest and PNNL experts are advising the work to come.

Researchers will explore climate, pathogens and energy-efficient microelectronics using 3 million node hours on the nation’s supercomputers.

Once thought to cover too little of the Earth’s surface to affect climate at larger scales, new work finds that city sprawl does add to global warming—over land, at least.

New research sheds light on the biomolecular dangers of night shift work.

A new study suggests accessing groundwater in key regions could become prohibitively expensive as lower-cost stores are used up.

New work finds hurricanes are intensifying faster close to the coast—a trend that’s likely to ramp up in a warmer world.

Vigorous exercise burns fat more in males than in females, but the benefits of exercise are broad for both sexes.

PNNL scientists have put forth a new approach to protect the electric grid, creating an approach that sorts and prioritizes cyber threats on the fly.

Scientists have learned more about how to protect the insulin-producing cells that die in patients with Type 1 diabetes.

PNNL researchers helped identify a fragment from the SARS-CoV-2 virus that spurs severe illness.

Results of the PR100 study outline near- and short-term strategies for Puerto Rico to achieve a renewable power grid by 2050.

Scientists have learned more about how drug resistance develops in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and how the process might be slowed.
