PNNL has created and licensed a system that sniffs out trace levels of fentanyl, other drugs and explosives through the air.

Scientists are developing ways to detect previously unseen forms of fentanyl as well as other synthetic opioids known as nitazenes.

This study evaluated the sensitivity of multiple geophysical methods to measure and evaluate the spatiotemporal variability of select soil properties across terrestrial–aquatic interfaces.

Researchers integrated field measurements, lab experiments, and model simulations to study oxygen consumption dynamics in soils along a coastal gradient.

This research explores how changes in groundwater levels affect the chemistry of underground water, especially in areas where land meets water, like wetlands.

A cross-institutional team of scientists developed PeakQC, a new software tool for automated quality control of mass spectrometry data.

The first tidal turbine deployed in the Pacific Northwest at PNNL-Sequim showcases the Lab’s growing role as a regional center for marine energy research.

The 2024 State of the Science Report on environmental effects of marine renewable energy research has been released.

The Delaware River Basin is projected to experience a regional increase in flood severity under future climate scenarios.

Dedication of the new hybrid-electric research vessel, the RV Resilience, was celebrated by laboratory, state and federal officials.

Ljiljana Paša-Tolić, a PNNL fellow, is the recipient of the 2024 International Mass Spectrometry Foundation’s Jochen Franzen Award. 

Scientists have developed a way to detect tiny amounts of hard-to-detect explosives more than eight feet away.

A team of researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory developed a new and flexible software tool called “Advanced Spectra PCA Toolbox.”

A sustainable ecosystem concept couples marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) with algae farming in a win-win scenario for the planet.

Five PNNL scientists participated in an invitation-only Department of Energy-sponsored workshop on coastal systems. 

Vigorous exercise burns fat more in males than in females, but the benefits of exercise are broad for both sexes.

Study explores Exploration of Coastal Hydrobiogeochemistry Across a Network of Gradients and Experiments, a consortium of scientists interested in the exchange between water and land in coastal systems.

Three PNNL-affiliated researchers have been named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest multidisciplinary scientific society.

Scientists have learned more about how to protect the insulin-producing cells that die in patients with Type 1 diabetes.

PNNL researchers helped identify a fragment from the SARS-CoV-2 virus that spurs severe illness.
