A decade after working as a post-bachelor’s researcher at PNNL, chemist Quin Miller is helping develop the workforce for the critical minerals-focused mines of the future.

Now, anyone can easily explore and access data from a nationwide map of data centers, the infrastructure that powers them, and projections of future data center locations.

A modeling study shows that adding batteries to a dam could decrease the wear and tear on hydropower turbines and open up new opportunities for dam operators to earn revenue.

Delivering excellence in power systems and electric grid advancement earns two PNNLers the association’s top distinction.

PNNL researchers Daniel Deng and Yehia Ibrahim join the 2025 class of National Academy of Inventors Fellows.

Researchers at PNNL share a research- and practitioner-informed approach to assess the threat landscape, elicit and integrate feedback into solutions, and ultimately share outcomes with the emergency response and public safety community.

Emma Cotter appointed to leadership team of consortium of universities focused on advancing marine energy.

Distributed science is thriving at PNNL, where scientists share data and collaborate with researchers around the world to increase the impact of the work.

From developing new energy storage materials to revealing patterns of Earth’s complex systems, studies led by PNNL researchers are recognized for their innovation and influence.

ThermalTracker-3D can help streamline permitting, reduce costs, and shorten development time of energy projects.

PNNL’s SHAD-TAGS+ allows researchers to monitor fish species to help inform energy project development.

The ability of a storm-resolving weather model to predict the growth of storms over central Argentina was evaluated with data from the Clouds, Aerosols, and Complex Terrain Interactions (CACTI) field campaign in central Argentina.

The first direct molecular-scale evidence of the temperature-driven transformation of the coordination environment of ytterbium at geologically relevant conditions.

PNNL researchers continue to deliver high-quality, high-impact research on radioactive waste and nuclear materials management, earning “Papers of Note” and “Superior Paper” awards.

Researchers have developed the first coastal transport model for microplastics to understand how particles move in waterways and coastal currents.

Large clusters of organized thunderstorms, called mesoscale convective systems, account for half of summer rainfall in the central and eastern U.S. Their formation can be influenced by weather patterns in the mid-levels of the troposphere.

New electees represent research in genomics, grid resilience, coastal ecology, and more.

Atmospheric aerosol particles modulate climate and the Earth’s energy balance by scattering and absorbing sunlight. They also seed clouds, acting as cloud condensation nuclei.
