A new generation of microelectronics research begins at PNNL.

Ultra-thin layers of silk deposited on graphene in perfect alignment represent a key advance for the control needed in microelectronics and advanced neural network development.

The convergence of artificial intelligence, cloud, and high-performance computing to accelerate scientific discovery is the focus of a multi-year collaboration between Microsoft and PNNL.

Understanding the risk of compound energy droughts—times when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow—will help grid planners understand where energy storage is needed most.

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.

An innovative artificial enzyme has shown it can chew through woody lignin, an abundant carbon-based substance that stores tremendous potential for renewable energy and materials.

A bioinspired molecule can direct gold atoms to form perfect five-pointed nanoscale stars. The feat is the product of a collaborative team from PNNL and the University of Washington.

Semiconductor experiments reveal a surprising new source of conductivity from oxygen atoms trapped inside the material.

Carbon-neutral waste-to-fuel flow cell process generates its own energy.

PNNL licensed two technologies to generate hydrogen. One, a reactor design, generates hydrogen from natural gas. The second innovation uses a 3D printing method to economically manufacture the generator.

Critical mineral extraction technology to be commercialized with business partner, Moselle Technologies.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science bestows one of its highest honors on James De Yoreo, distinguished PNNL materials scientist.

Plug and Play DER Challenge seeks to enable distributed energy technologies to integrate, connect and operate in harmony on the power grid.

PNNL has been honored with three awards for excellence in transferring technologies to private sector by the Federal Laboratory Consortium.

New spin makes lightweight magnesium auto parts more useful.

For the first time, researchers have been able to see what makes this titanium alloy so strong – and then make it stronger.

Calcium carbonate found in chalk, shells and rocks is one of the most important materials on earth. New insights on how it turns into hard, strong materials will help scientists design materials needed for a low-carbon future.
