A breakthrough at PNNL could free friction stir from current constraints—and open the door for increased use of the advanced manufacturing technique on commercial assembly lines.
The Center for Continuum Computing at PNNL aims to integrate cloud platforms, high-performance computing, and edge devices into a seamless ecosystem that accelerates scientific discovery.
Researchers at PNNL advised elementary and middle school student teams with their problem-solving research for the FIRST® LEGO® League robotics competitions.
By combining computational modeling with experimental research, scientists identified a promising composition that reduces the need for a critical material in an alloy that can withstand extreme environments.
PNNL researchers have developed a new, physics-informed machine learning model that accurately predicts how heat accumulates and dissipates during friction stir processing.
In soil, microbes produce and consume methane. Using a technique called pool dilution, researchers can separate the rate of methane production and consumption from the net rate.
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.
