A new tool helps identify non-powered dams across the country that are top candidates for conversion to power-generating hydroelectric facilities.

The report explores how research in planning, data, policy, and technology can address some of the underlying challenges facing water power systems.

A team of researchers at PNNL has created a publicly available Hydropower eLibrary to improve access to information that could help streamline the FERC environmental review and licensing process.

The pathway of oxygen ion movement can be controlled based on the initial structure and substrate of strontium iron oxide thin films.

PNNL convenes ocean leaders to tackle climate challenges and support the Ocean Climate Action Plan.

PNNL researchers demonstrated a simple method to create stable, identical nanoparticles of PdTe2-like composition, which is known to be superconducting, on a WTe2 TMD support.

PNNL receives a 2023 Federal Laboratory Consortium Far West Regional Award for a technological innovation that could help make the U.S. a producer of critical minerals used in electronics and energy production.

Researchers created the first open-source database of exotic materials eyed for use in quantum applications.

Jingshan Du was named an associate editor of the journal Frontiers for Young Minds, which publishes articles about scientific research for young readers.

PNNL is making waves in pursuit of a blue economy. Researchers are advancing science and technology to expand—and protect—the gifts of the sea.

Fish biologist Brenda Pracheil has been named chair of the Low Impact Hydropower Institute focused on reduction of impacts of hydropower dams on the environment.

A newly funded research project draws inspiration from nature to store carbon dioxide.

From landfills to fill-ups: novel catalysts may make plastic upcycling cleaner and more cost-effective.

Despite severe drought, a new report shows that hydropower remains a strong and steadfast contributor of renewable energy in the West.

Plastic upcycling efficiently converts plastics to valuable commodity chemicals while using less of the precious metal ruthenium. The method could recycle waste plastic pollution into useful products, helping keep it out of landfills.

Biomedical scientist George Bonheyo has been selected as chair of a new International Electrotechnical Commission committee charged with creating standards for researching and measuring biofouling on marine energy systems.
