A decade after working as a post-bachelor’s researcher at PNNL, chemist Quin Miller is helping develop the workforce for the critical minerals-focused mines of the future.

Researchers at PNNL share a research- and practitioner-informed approach to assess the threat landscape, elicit and integrate feedback into solutions, and ultimately share outcomes with the emergency response and public safety community.

David Heldebrant was selected for the 2025 Distinguished Service Award from the American Chemical Society Division of Energy & Fuels, recognizing his impact to energy and fuels chemistry.

Researchers at PNNL are asking: how compatible, exactly, is hydrogen fuel with the existing natural gas pipeline network?

Two new publications provide emergency response agencies with critical insights into commercially available unmanned ground vehicles used for hazardous materials response.

CO2 separation is key for natural gas purification, but conventional techniques are high-emission processes. New research reveals a novel, doubly segmented, CO2-selective membrane that increases CO2 permeability and reduces emissions.

Chemical engineer Yuan Jiang is now an executive editor at Gas Science and Engineering, a cross-disciplinary journal centered on natural gases.

Jeff Burghardt is the chair of the technical program for the 59th US Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium of the American Rock Mechanics Association.

A team from PNNL contributed several articles to the Domestic Preparedness Journal showcasing recent efforts to explore the emergency management and artificial intelligence research and development landscape.

A series of conference panels recently explored how new and evolving technologies can support emergency managers’ responsibilities.

RemPlex and IAEA convene international leaders to tackle recruitment and retention in complex environmental cleanup efforts.

Led by interns from multiple DOE programs, a newly expanded dataset allows researchers to use easy-to-obtain measurements to determine the elemental composition of a promising carbon storage mineral.

A multi-institutional team of researchers systematically compared extraction techniques for characterizing plant litter composition that relies on organic matter extraction.

PNNL Earth scientist Alison Delgado will serve as an author for the “Science of Response Management” chapter of the Sixth National Climate Assessment (NCA6.)

New methodology can evaluate the potential for carbon storage and critical mineral recovery in undercharacterized geological settings.

A new database allows researchers to connect lattice parameters and composition in olivine.

Research identifies the mechanisms through which peptoids affect ions in solution and a mineral surface, increasing the rate of carbonate crystal growth.
