Recognizing how innovation and clean technologies at the very edge of the grid can work together to transition the electricity system, PNNL takes a multidisciplinary approach to advancing and integrating renewable energy solutions.

Members of a geothermal energy collaboration go deep—real deep—to install a first-of-its kind system for evaluating interactions among water and rock.

PNNL chief chemical engineer Carlos Fernandez is a guest editor for a set of collection papers in Scientific Reports focusing on natural fibers.

A team led by researchers at PNNL demonstrated a new way to monitor deep subsurface fractures.

Rey Suarez is a nuclear nonproliferation researcher who is working on equipment that can detect radionuclides emitted from a nuclear explosion as part of treaty monitoring.

Covalent organic polymers can adsorb three times more refrigerant than the best available alternatives, resulting in more efficient cooling.

Tomorrow’s scientific leaders gain real-world experience contributing to PNNL’s research and development.
