Rebecca O’Neil, a research principal in the Energy and Environment Directorate at PNNL, was invited to testify before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Energy.

Van Cleve guides conversations on national grid modernization strategies, reinforcing PNNL’s role in connecting science, policy, and industry.

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.

By combining computational modeling with experimental research, scientists identified a promising composition that reduces the need for a critical material in an alloy that can withstand extreme environments.

PNNL researchers have developed a new, physics-informed machine learning model that accurately predicts how heat accumulates and dissipates during friction stir processing.

PNNL will engage with transmission planners and other regional partners through technical assistance and listening sessions with the goal of exploring opportunities to integrate equity into transmission planning.

PNNL electrical engineer Samrat Acharya led a team that earned the 2024 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Best Paper Award.

Senior Advisor Isabella van Rooyen shares her journey from child to internationally recognized scientist in nuclear materials and manufacturing.

Mandy Mahoney, director of the DOE Building Technologies Office, visited PNNL in late November. One key agenda item involved meeting with staff for a discussion of effective equity and justice integration in buildings-related research.

ExaGO, a power grid simulation and optimization platform developed at PNNL is the first of its kind to run on Frontier.
