Researchers at PNNL have come up with a novel way to use silicon as an energy storage ingredient, replacing the graphite in electrodes. Silicon can hold 10 times the electrical charge per gram, but it comes with problems of its own.

Scientists have witnessed the formation of the solid-electrolyte interphase, a critical component in lithium-ion batteries.

Researchers at PNNL are contributing artificial intelligence, machine learning, and app development expertise to a U of W project that will ease challenges with urban freight delivery. The project will provide delivery drivers with a tool

WSU recently announced James Boncella will lead the WSU-PNNL Nuclear Science and Technology Institute.

Scientists have uncovered a root cause of the growth of needle-like structures—known as dendrites and whiskers—that plague lithium batteries, sometimes causing a short circuit, failure, or even a fire.

PNNL has developed a technology to manufacture rods and tubes directly from high-performance aluminum alloy powder—in just one single step.

Plug and Play DER Challenge seeks to enable distributed energy technologies to integrate, connect and operate in harmony on the power grid.

For the first time, researchers have created a gram of yellowcake — a powdered form of uranium used to produce fuel for nuclear power production — using modified acrylic fibers to extract it from seawater.

New technique developed by PNNL successfully joins thicker aluminum alloys to steel

When it comes to the special sauce of batteries, PNNL researchers say it's all about the salt concentration.

Six energy technologies that do everything from protect fish to monitor the health of flow batteries are getting a boost at PNNL with support from DOE's Technology Commercialization Fund.

New spin makes lightweight magnesium auto parts more useful.

Nearly $6 million in new funding has been awarded to 15 energy storage projects through the PNNL-led Battery500 consortium.

PNNL will help companies make lighter weight vehicles.

Steve Short, a nuclear engineer at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has been selected as a fellow of the National Society of Professional Engineers.

PNNL provides gateway to nuclear innovation for small business

PNNL research has created a unique video that shows oxygen bubbles inflating and later deflating inside a tiny lithium-air battery. The knowledge gained from the video could help make lithium-air batteries that are more compact, stable and

PNNL researchers have demonstrated a process for the expanded use of lightweight aluminum in cars and trucks at the speed, scale, quality and consistency required by the auto industry.
