In the search for rare physics events, extremely pure materials are essential. A partnership between PNNL and Ultramet has led to tungsten with low contamination from other elements.
PNNL has developed a decision tool that provides contractors and installers with the information they need to properly select and install cold climate heat pumps, which are a key technology for achieving decarbonization.
From air-sealing windows and checking for leaky ducts to insulating the attic, PNNL researchers offer tips on how to keep a home warm in winter weather.
A larger HVAC workforce with training on modern heat pump technology will be pivotal to achieving the mass-scale electrification of household HVAC systems needed to meet building decarbonization goals.
PNNL is honoring its postdoctoral researchers as part of the fourteenth annual National Postdoc Appreciation Week with seven profiles of postdocs from around the Laboratory.
The diversity and function of organic matter in rivers at a large scale are influenced by factors, such as the types of vegetation covering the land, the energy characteristics, and the breakdown potential of the molecules.
Four PNNL researchers received highly competitive DOE Early Career Research Program awards, providing five continuous years of funding for their projects.
Diefenderfer, Earth scientist who focuses on coastal ecosystems at PNNL, recently published “Ten Years of Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Projects Since the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill,” a cover article.
ICON science is a Department of Energy-developed framework to enhance scientific outcomes via more intentional design of research efforts across all domains of science.
An analysis of land use in watersheds that supply drinking water to over a hundred United States cities identified a wide range of exposure to potential contamination.
