PNNL licensed two technologies to generate hydrogen. One, a reactor design, generates hydrogen from natural gas. The second innovation uses a 3D printing method to economically manufacture the generator.
Risk analysis on the plutonium-fueled power system that supplies electricity to the Mars rover answered the “what if” nuclear safety questions for NASA.
Marcel Baer is a computational scientist working in PNNL’s Physical Sciences Division with a prominent effort in materials science and physical bioscience.
PNNL and four other national laboratories executed the Hydropower Value Study to examine hydropower operations in different regions of the United States.
Samantha Eaves discusses the future of marine energy and her role with Triton from the Department of Energy Water Power Technologies Office perspective.
Study says planners need to account for climate impacts on renewable energy during capacity development planning to fully understand investment implications to the power sector.
High school students from across Washington State competed in the Pacific Northwest Regional Science Bowl, hosted online by PNNL, for a chance to advance to the national competition in May.
Johnson is among the PNNL scientists preparing to move into the Energy Sciences Center, the new $90 million, 140,000-square-foot facility that is expected to open in late 2021.
Seven teams win the U.S. Department of Energy's DESIGN Contest for wave-powered systems to monitor hurricanes—part of the Ocean Observing Prize. PNNL administers the prize with National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
A new study projects that electricity demand tied to cooling U.S. buildings will grow as peak temperatures rise, and so too would the need for an expanded power sector.
