A new radiation-resistant material for the efficient capture of noble gases xenon and krypton makes it safer and cheaper to recycle spent nuclear fuel.

By studying discrete functional components of the soil microbiome at high resolution, researchers obtained a more complete picture of soil diversity compared to analysis of the entire soil community.

International editing team provided 15-year update, with Devanathan focused on intersection of nuclear science, materials science, and multiscale modeling.

Researchers have developed a new technique to visualize the activity and distribution of enzymes that mobilize phosphate around plant roots.

Materials Scientist Arun Devaraj has been selected among 76 recipients nationwide to receive a 2020 Early Career Research Program award from the U.S. Department of Energy

Soil respiration—the flow of CO2 from the soil surface to the atmosphere—is one of the largest carbon fluxes in the terrestrial biosphere.

Natural and human-driven disturbances are altering the world's forests, increasing tree mortality and reducing ecosystem recovery.

PNNL quantum algorithm theorist and developer Nathan Wiebe is applying ideas from data science and gaming hacks to quantum computing

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed and continue to maintain a global database of measurements made of soil-to-atmosphere CO2 flows, termed soil respiration.

Agent-based models of water resource management can include the interaction between human-engineered systems and natural processes

Researchers found that certain oxide interface configurations remain stable in extreme environments, suggesting ways to build better performing, more reliable devices for fuel cells, space-based electronics, and nuclear energy.

PNNL coastal ecologist Heida Diefenderfer was a featured speaker in February at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable on policy and global affairs.

Tree presence impacts how soils respond to temperature change in coastal forest.

PNNL's Sensor Fish were deployed at Ice Harbor Dam to collect data from a new turbine. The data indicates the design changes are making travel through the dam less arduous for fish.
