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.

Scientists plumbed the depths of nearly 3,000 soil samples from around the globe to compile the heftiest atlas of soil viruses ever created.

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

As launch time draws near, PNNL scientists are eager to explore how plants might grow in space, where the effect of gravity is substantially weaker.

New research sheds light on the biomolecular dangers of night shift work.

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

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.

Scientists have learned more about how drug resistance develops in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and how the process might be slowed.

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.

Scientists have opened a new view into the workings of the central nervous system, finding a diverse set of important molecules.

Scientists have taken an important step forward in predicting who will develop Type 1 diabetes months before symptoms appear.

A detailed snapshot of proteins by PNNL scientists marks a big step toward a diagnostic blood test for a deadly form of liver disease.

The Washington State Academy of Sciences added six people from PNNL to its 2022 class of inductees.

PNNL scientists are protecting first responders and others by expanding what’s known about fentanyl, the driver of the opioid epidemic.

Researchers map nearly 9,000 proteins in the human lungs, providing a clearer picture of development.

The Washington State Academy of Sciences consists of more than 300 elected members who are nationally recognized for their scientific and technical expertise.

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.

Researchers from PNNL have helped colleagues at OHSU identify lipid molecules required for Zika infection in human cells. The specific lipids involved could also be a clue to why the virus primarily infects brain tissue.
