Four engineers at PNNL received awards for nuclear science presentations related to Hanford Site cleanup at the annual meeting of the world's leading organization for chemical engineering professionals.

PNNL's accomplishments in FY 2024 help address the remaining challenges the wind industry faces.

New IDREAM research explores the effects of electrolyte species on boehmite nanoparticle aggregation in legacy wastes.

PNNL chemist Mark Engelhard has been chosen as president-elect of AVS Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing

Francesca Pierobon holds a joint appointment with UW and WSU to advance low-carbon technologies.

Two PNNL materials scientists were involved in co-editing an issue of MRS Advances focused on crystallization and assembly at interfaces.

Geochemist Kevin Rosso named an American Geophysical Union fellow in recognition of his work leading the field of molecular geochemistry.

Hydrogen atoms released and trapped in irradiated gibbsite are destabilized by synthetic-precursor residuals.

New funding spurs a new approach to researching the effective retrieval and processing of legacy radioactive waste. Four-year focus of the IDREAM EFRC will link attosecond timescales to decades-long chemical processes.

With the launch of a large research barge, PNNL and collaborators took another significant step to improve offshore wind forecasting that will lower risk and cost associated with offshore wind energy development.

Recycling polyolefin materials is challenging. One waste management strategy is plastic upcycling. New work demonstrates a single-step upcycling route coupling cracking and alkylation, recycling carbon and keeping valuable resources active.

When exposed to a sufficiently high dose of ionizing radiation, gibbsite and boehmite are less susceptible to dehydration-induced breakdown.

PNNL’s patented Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion (ShAPE™) technique is an advanced manufacturing technology that enables better-performing materials and components while offering opportunities to reduce costs and energy consumption.
