Researchers at PNNL are pursuing new approaches to understand, predict and control the phenome—the collection of biological traits within an organism shaped by its genes and interactions with the environment.
A team of researchers recently coordinated a series of international workshops aimed at enhancing chemical research security and fostering collaboration among scientists and academic researchers from both countries.
Scientists at PNNL have published a new article that focuses on understanding the composition, dynamics, and deployment of beneficial soil microbiomes to get the most out of soil.
A team of researchers from PNNL provided technical knowledge and support to test a suite of techniques that detect genetically modified bacteria, viruses, and cells.
PNNL researchers helped design and conduct an international exercise hosted by the Ministry of Finance of Finland to help improve financial sector resilience.
SAGE is a high-efficiency genome integration strategy for bacteria that makes the stable introduction of new traits simple for newly discovered microbes.
A new, state-of-the-art training facility in Larnaca, Cyprus provides unique training opportunities for border security officials from partner nations.
Human-machine teaming may sound like something from the distant future. In “Human-Machine Teaming: A Vision of Future Law Enforcement” in Domestic Preparedness, Corey Fallon, Kris Cook, and Grant Tietje of PNNL examine this topic.
PNNL-developed Water Balance Tool estimates consumption for major water end-uses. Understanding the breakout of water use identifies water efficiency opportunities and allows facility managers to spot potential system losses.
Buildings account for around 40 percent of our nation's energy use and consume 75 percent of our nation’s electricity each year. Energy use is also one of the biggest costs for facility owners.
A recent edition of the Infrastructure Resilience Research Group Journal featured an article written by PNNL researchers Rob Siefken and Jake Burns about “Design Basis Threat and the Low Threat Environment.”
As COVID-19 was limiting in-person contact, halting travel, and creating additional barriers, researchers at PNNL were working to find solutions on how they could still get work done while establishing new safety protocols.
PNNL’s Fred Morris was awarded the National Nuclear Security Administration Administrator Lifetime Achievement and Distinguished Service Silver awards.
PNNL’s longstanding grid and buildings capabilities are driving two projects that test transactive energy concepts on a grand scale and lay the groundwork for a more efficient U.S. energy system.
