Secretary Wright visited PNNL's campus in Richland, Washington, late last year to meet with innovators in chemistry, biology, computing, and more.

PNNL offers a third-party testing environment to provide battery companies with independent data about their grid-scale systems.

For nearly 20 years, PNNL has invested in a multidisciplinary effort to develop better batteries.

GSL's utility-grade battery testing operation is now fully operational.

PNNL researchers are opening up a new front in the fight to stop viral pathogens, protecting people against multiple viruses.

A study by researchers at PNNL assessed the feasibility of using strontium isotope ratios and an existing machine learning–based model to predict and verify a product’s source—in this case, honey.

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.
