PNNL’s contributions over the last year span scientific discovery, sustainable energy and national security.

Clarivate recently released the list of Highly Cited Researchers for 2022.

The Joint Appointment program at PNNL is one of the most diverse among other U.S. national laboratories, involving nearly 60 universities and research institutions in the United States and abroad.

To thwart pathogens, researchers in the epidemiology field of infectious disease (ID) prediction are continuously trying to forecast when, where, and how an ID event will occur.

New research findings published in Science Advances (November 2022), help explain the progression of Alzheimer-related dementia in each patient. The findings outline a biological classification system that predicts disease severity.

Data-driven experiments can help determine best practices for Random Forest machine learning to predict water quality, particularly nitrate levels.

Studying how microorganisms behave in space could facilitate farming in the final frontier and lead to better crops on Earth.

Silicone wristbands could be more convenient option for collecting exposure data.

Organismal contribution and community interaction drive soil organic matter breakdown by microbes.

PNNL gathered researchers from eight national laboratories plus the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to share ideas and build synergy at the Energy Equity and Environmental Justice Summit.

PNNL computational neuroscientist Rogene Eichler West honored with the International Society for Neuroregulation & Research Joseph and Ann Marie Horvat Distinguished Service Award.

Scientists can detect the virus that causes COVID-19 by using a bubble that spills its contents like a piñata when encountering the virus.

Identifying a novel gene function on soil viruses.

Study shows coastal plants are dying from hydraulic failure and carbon starvation.

Biochemical preservation and mineral association retain carbon in grassland soils, resulting in consistent molecular composition across ecosystems.

PNNL chemist Ying Zhu was honored as one of the top 40 researchers under the age of 40 in analytical science by The Analytical Scientist.

Across the United States, water moving between the river and riverbed sediments does not overcome localized processes that govern organic matter chemistry.

Microbes and viruses play key roles in carbon and nitrogen cycling in riverbed sediments.

Proteins from “auxiliary” genes in soil viruses play a role in the carbon cycle and climate, scientists have found.

We are pleased to welcome 20 new joint appointees to PNNL.
