Scientists unravel a secret to oil production in plants, opening up the possibility of increasing production for biofuels and other applications.

The convergence of artificial intelligence, cloud, and high-performance computing to accelerate scientific discovery is the focus of a multi-year collaboration between Microsoft and PNNL.

PNNL has created the Center for AI @PNNL to coordinate the pioneering research of hundreds of scientists working on a range of projects in artificial intelligence.

Less pollution and the odd shapes of snow grains as they pack together should help cut the decline of snowpack later this century.

In a new paper, researchers point to three major efforts where the biggest climate mitigation gains stand to be realized: ramping up carbon dioxide removal, reigning in non-carbon dioxide emissions and halting deforestation.

PNNL is collaborating with Microsoft, Micron and other partners to make computational chemistry broadly available.

A new method to convert waste plastic to fuel and raw materials promises to help close the carbon cycle at mild temperature and with high yield.

PNNL researchers can make methane from captured CO2 and renewably sourced hydrogen, offering a path toward cheaper synthetic natural gas.

PNNL’s newest solvent captures carbon dioxide from power plants for as little as $47.10 per metric ton, marking a significant milestone in the journey to lower the cost of carbon capture.

Methane emissions from coal mines are likely higher than previously calculated, largely due to emissions from abandoned mines.

Using public data from the entire 1,500-square-mile Los Angeles metropolitan area, PNNL researchers reduced the time needed to create a traffic congestion model by an order of magnitude, from hours to minutes.

Scientists are exploring the use of deep neural network to interpret highly technical data related to national security, the environment and the cosmos.

PNNL's proving ground for emerging supercomputer technologies gets new leadership and seeks more input from researchers.

Scientist-detectives put themselves to the test.

A new national collaboration will take supercomputers to the next level of performance.

Northwest researchers designing software for new DARPA-funded graphical processor in development.

Antonino Tumeo, a computational science researcher at PNNL, has been elevated to the rank of senior member in two professional societies.

High performance computing researcher Shuaiwen Leon Song asked if hardware called 3D stacked memory could do something it was never designed to do — help render 3D graphics.

When water comes in for a landing on the common catalyst titanium oxide, it splits into hydroxyls just under half the time. Water's oxygen and hydrogen atoms shift back and forth between existing as water or hydroxyls, and water has the sli

Pointing the finger at chemical criminals: Several scientists from PNNL and other institutions will discuss new methods and approaches at the American Chemical Society's national meeting in San Francisco April 2-6.
