Researchers have begun a series of experiments that could bring about more energy for grid, thanks to a special delivery of 11 "high burnup" rods.

A launch from Cape Canaveral early today carried a PNNL experiment to space so scientists can learn more about radiation far above Earth.

Three PNNL technologies have been named 2024 R&D 100 Award winners.

Complex metal alloys enter a new era of predictive design for aerospace and other high-temperature applications.

Scientists stop the motion of atoms to watch electrons move in liquid water.

Post-consumer recycled aluminum to be transformed into high strength building materials and consumer goods with patented ShAPE™ manufacturing process.

A newly developed, highly conductive copper wire could find applications in the electric grid, as well as in homes and businesses. The finding defies what's been thought about how metals conduct electricity.

Less pollution and the odd shapes of snow grains as they pack together should help cut the decline of snowpack later this century.

In a new paper, researchers point to three major efforts where the biggest climate mitigation gains stand to be realized: ramping up carbon dioxide removal, reigning in non-carbon dioxide emissions and halting deforestation.

Rechargeable battery performance could be improved by a new understanding of how batteries work at the molecular level. Researchers at PNNL upend what's known about how rechargeable batteries function.

The PNNL-patented ShAPE™ manufacturing process produces high-strength aluminum vehicle parts that lower costs and are more environmentally friendly.

Ancient seawater pockets offer a new source of clues to climate change in vanished oceans and our own.

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.

PNNL will demonstrate how new technologies, innovative approaches and partnering with others can lead to net-zero emissions and decarbonization of operations.

One effort toward better batteries for electric vehicles is hitting overdrive, thanks to new findings about the desirable silicon anode.

Researchers have increased the lifetime of a promising electric vehicle battery to a record level.

Three unused, 48,000-pound stainless steel canisters arrived at PNNL, bringing the chance to deepen research in spent nuclear fuel storage and transportation.

Methane emissions from coal mines are likely higher than previously calculated, largely due to emissions from abandoned mines.

Scientists have created a single-crystal, nickel-rich cathode that is hardier and more efficient than before—important progress on the road to better lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.

Using public data from the entire 1,500-square-mile Los Angeles metropolitan area, PNNL researchers reduced the time needed to create a traffic congestion model by an order of magnitude, from hours to minutes.
