From vehicles and airplanes to solid-phase processing of metals—how Curt Lavender and his team at PNNL solve industry problems with practical ingenuity.

Physicist Emily Mace will share her science journey and an interactive presentation about her current research with middle school and high school students from across the country at the National Science Bowl.

New PNNL research makes it easier to differentiate between chemical and nuclear explosions.

Direct visualization of metal atoms during shear deformation has broad applications from battery design to vehicle lightweighting.

A new extrusion process eliminates pre-heating to provide significant energy savings during production of extruded aluminum alloys.

The first-ever simulation of aluminum conductivity offers a recipe for an inexpensive, lightweight alternative to copper.

PNNL commemorates 9/11 and reflects on the 20 years of science and technology produced since to protect against threats and make America safer.

At PNNL, women in engineering tackle some of the world’s most complex problems in environmental science, sustainable energy, and national security.

PNNL provided ultra-low measurements of argon-39 to date groundwater as part of a collaborative study of the aquifer in California’s San Joaquin Valley. PNNL is one of only a few laboratories worldwide with this capability.

PNNL researchers are using explainable artificial intelligence to develop new ways to understand and interpret data for national security.

Explainable artificial intelligence—understanding and explaining the reasoning behind AI decisions—is a necessity for national security.

Sentry-SECURE is a new communication and response platform developed by PNNL, VPI, and Microsoft Azure that rapidly and securely transfers radiological alarm data through the cloud.

On the looming 10th anniversary of the Fukushima disaster at the Daiichi Power Station in Japan, PNNL looks back at the science and solidarity it has shared with Fukushima and its nuclear cleanup effort.

Explainable AI helps scientists understand and untangle the threads of information that the system uses to make choices or recommendations.

PNNL researchers are examining the volatile radioisotope iodine as it evolves in the atmosphere and as it lands on a filtering surface.

As COVID-19 was limiting in-person contact, halting travel, and creating additional barriers, researchers at PNNL were working to find solutions on how they could still get work done while establishing new safety protocols.

PNNL researchers devised a new method to probe the atomic structure of plutonium-containing microcrystals using laboratory-based equipment.

In recognition of Nuclear Science Week on Oct. 19-23, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reflects on more than half a century of advancing nuclear science for the nation’s energy, environment, and security frontiers.

Scientists at PNNL have contributed much of the nuclear science that underlies an international monitoring system designed to detect nuclear explosions worldwide. The system detects radioxenon anywhere on the planet.

A team of researchers is working to expand our uranium chemistry understanding using a surprising tool: lasers. This capability gives never-before-seen insight into uranium gas-phase oxidation during nuclear explosions.
