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.
The Hanford Site is now immobilizing radioactive waste in glass: a process known as vitrification. PNNL contributed 60 years of materials science expertise—and is providing operational support—to help the nation meet this cleanup milestone.
Early career researchers recognized with Team Science Award by the Department of Energy for presentation highlighting the collaborative science performed by IDREAM.
David Heldebrant was selected for the 2025 Distinguished Service Award from the American Chemical Society Division of Energy & Fuels, recognizing his impact to energy and fuels chemistry.
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.
CESER and PNNL convened a three-day summit with more than 100 state officials, cybersecurity experts, and industry leaders across 35 states to advance energy security planning, cyber risk assessment, and fortify protections against attacks.
CO2 separation is key for natural gas purification, but conventional techniques are high-emission processes. New research reveals a novel, doubly segmented, CO2-selective membrane that increases CO2 permeability and reduces emissions.
Danny Herrera, a systems engineer and leader in the National Security Directorate at PNNL, has been named the new co-director of the Institute for Cybersecurity and Resilient Infrastructure Studies.
For PNNL’s Jonathan Evarts, Hope Lackey, and Erik Reinhart, this partnership with WSU opened doors and provided opportunities for their scientific careers to flourish.
