RemPlex 2025 Global Summit on Environmental Remediation attendees share knowledge about cleanup and monitoring of complex sites worldwide; more than 100 presentations are posted online.

Emilie Purvine, a chief data scientist at PNNL, was elected as a council member at large of the American Mathematical Society.

The Hanford Site is now immobilizing radioactive waste in glass: a process known as vitrification. PNNL contributed 60 years of materials science expertise—and is providing operational support—to help the nation meet this cleanup milestone.

Mystery of how important aluminum minerals form and dissolve solved with materials science and advanced imaging studies.

Nanosize platelets of an aluminum material slide and join in a staggered orientation to form larger crystals.

Early career researchers recognized with Team Science Award by the Department of Energy for presentation highlighting the collaborative science performed by IDREAM.

IDREAM researchers uncovered how dimeric complexes control how aluminum hydroxide minerals dissolve.

An award-winning computing method called poly-streaming accelerates the analysis of massive datasets while using limited memory.

This achievement earned DIMPLES a Best Paper award at the ACM International Conference on Supercomputing 2025.

As Laboratory Director Steve Ashby pens his last monthly column, he highlights PNNL’s accomplishments with pride and gratitude.

PermitAI’s newly released dataset, NEPATEC 2.0, captures and curates environmental review data for faster, better federal permitting.

Seaweed could be a new source of critical minerals for electronics, vehicles, and buildings.

Three research teams led by PNNL organizers achieve journal publications following the Mathematics Research Communities program.

PNNL researchers continue to deliver high-quality, high-impact research on radioactive waste and nuclear materials management, earning “Papers of Note” and “Superior Paper” awards.

PNNL showcased its expertise in AI, machine learning, and related domains at the International Conference on Machine Learning.

Researchers have developed the first coastal transport model for microplastics to understand how particles move in waterways and coastal currents.

The Department of Energy Art of Science contest entry focuses on the extraordinary universe of chemical bond making and breaking under irradiation.

Trace amounts of iron and chromium can incorporate into gibbsite, affecting how the mineral dissolves.

New electees represent research in genomics, grid resilience, coastal ecology, and more.

This research helps predict how coastal forests will respond to future sea level changes which is crucial for protecting these ecosystems.
