Fundamental research conducted at the $90-million research facility will help the nation meet its clean energy goals.

A new study shows that, when starved, some trees turn to self-digestion before dialing down energy storage.

The Washington State Academy of Sciences consists of more than 300 elected members who are nationally recognized for their scientific and technical expertise.

Vigorous and rapid air exchanges might not always be a good thing when it comes to levels of coronavirus particles in a multiroom building, according to a new modeling study.

Night shift work disrupts the natural 24-hour rhythms in the activity of certain cancer-related genes, making workers more vulnerable to damage to their DNA.

Ultra-trace radiation detection technique sets new global standard for measuring the nearly immeasurable.

E-cigarette exposure stresses and inflames the lungs of rats, compromising important quality control proteins, according to new research.

Two PNNL researchers, one a world-leading authority on microorganisms, the other an expert on coastal ecosystem restoration, have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Clarivate Analytics recently unveiled its 2020 list of Highly Cited Researchers. The list named 17 PNNL scientists for their influential and oft-referenced work.

The nation’s ability to test for COVID-19 has expanded, thanks to work at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, where scientists have established the performance of testing equipment to detect the virus.

Text analysis software developed at PNNL helps the nation track global biothreats, such as COVID-19.

Radiation from natural sources in the environment can limit the performance of superconducting quantum bits, known as qubits. The discovery has implications for quantum computing and for the search for dark matter.

Researchers from PNNL have helped colleagues at OHSU identify lipid molecules required for Zika infection in human cells. The specific lipids involved could also be a clue to why the virus primarily infects brain tissue.

To help spur economic development and assist in the battle against COVID-19, PNNL is making available its entire portfolio of patented technologies on a research trial basis—at no cost—through the end of 2020.

A new study using proteogenomics to compare cancerous tissue with normal fallopian tube samples advances insights about the molecular machinery that underlies ovarian cancer.

A new study is among the first to trace the molecular connections between genetics, the gut microbiome and memory in a mouse model bred to resemble the diversity of the human population.

A new study focusing on the proteins involved in endometrial cancer, commonly known as uterine cancer, offers insights about which patients will need aggressive treatment and which won’t.

The researchers treated human pancreatic islets with substances produced by the body and thought to be involved in the diabetes disease process.

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