PNNL researchers design liquid-based porous electrolyte that could transport lithium ions more easily between electrodes, improving battery efficiency.
A new report, based on a community workshop and literature review, summarizes some of the biggest challenges in understanding and modeling Earth system and human–Earth system dynamics in the Puget Sound region of Washington State.
A systematic, multiple scenario approach was used to analyze the compounding impacts of demands for land for biofuels with increased land scarcity under a diverse set of uncertainties.
The world's current climate pledges won't limit global warming to 1.5 °C. We will overshoot. A new study shows that more ambitious climate pledges could minimize the overshoot.
PNNL’s fall Pathways to Excellence award ceremony celebrated nearly 50 staff for their contributions across science, engineering, operations, and STEM education.
Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.
Hydrologist Fernando Miralles-Wilhelm will lead the Joint Global Change Research Institute as its director, looking to the future of integrated assessments.
Better representing electric capacity markets, economic retirements, and power-plant age structure provides a more robust understanding of the future evolution of the electric sector.
A new longer-lasting sodium-ion battery design is much more durable and reliable in lab tests. After 300 charging cycles, it retained 90 percent of its charging capacity.
