Knowing future snow levels is key for managing the recovery of endangered bighorn sheep. PNNL scientists help to forecast how the sheep could fare.

A new study reveals just how costly Earth's tipping points can be.

The demand for energy is growing—and so is the technology supporting it. However, future development of power generation technologies could be affected by a key factor: material supply.

University of Washington Professor David Baker won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for computational protein design.

Calculating quantum chemistry quickly allows scientists to refine their understanding of complex chemical systems.

The speed and agility of cloud computing opens doors to completing advanced computational chemistry workflows in days instead of months.

Mengqi Zhao and Chris Vernon were selected to serve in editorial roles at JOSS for Earth science and data science, respectively.

Researchers discussed this topic at the 2024 Analog Computing for Science Workshop co-led by Antonino Tumeo.

Proton shuffling in hydrated nicotine at low temperatures occurs via a Grotthuss mechanism, identified through experimental and computational work.

The Delaware River Basin is projected to experience a regional increase in flood severity under future climate scenarios.

Three PNNL researchers will receive five continuous years of funding for projects through highly competitive DOE Early Career Research Program awards.

ChemReasoner combines decades of chemistry knowledge with large language models to propose strategies for effective new catalysts.

The atomic-level distribution of nickel and cobalt in forsterite depends on the concentration of the different elements.

New findings document fewer ship tracks, reduced cloud cover, and boosted warming after ship emissions regulations took effect in 2020.

Aerosol particles imbue climate models with uncertainty. New work by PNNL researchers reveals where in the world and under what conditions new particles are born.

Accessing groundwater may become more difficult—and more expensive—as groundwater supplies become increasingly scarce and underground aquifer levels fall.

Researchers will explore climate, pathogens and energy-efficient microelectronics using 3 million node hours on the nation’s supercomputers.

Once thought to cover too little of the Earth’s surface to affect climate at larger scales, new work finds that city sprawl does add to global warming—over land, at least.

A new study demonstrates a hybrid model that can simulate part of a system at the molecular scale and other parts at larger scales in a computationally efficient manner, providing greater simulation flexibility.

The 2024 Jack Simons Award honor recognizes Li for his expertise in integrating chemistry with computing for fundamental science research.
