Secretary Wright visited PNNL's campus in Richland, Washington, late last year to meet with innovators in chemistry, biology, computing, and more.

The Hanford Site is now immobilizing radioactive waste in glass: a process known as vitrification. PNNL contributed 60 years of materials science expertise—and is providing operational support—to help the nation meet this cleanup milestone.

PNNL offers a third-party testing environment to provide battery companies with independent data about their grid-scale systems.

A modeling study shows that adding batteries to a dam could decrease the wear and tear on hydropower turbines and open up new opportunities for dam operators to earn revenue.

Van Cleve guides conversations on national grid modernization strategies, reinforcing PNNL’s role in connecting science, policy, and industry.

Delivering excellence in power systems and electric grid advancement earns two PNNLers the association’s top distinction.

Mystery of how important aluminum minerals form and dissolve solved with materials science and advanced imaging studies.

Nanosize platelets of an aluminum material slide and join in a staggered orientation to form larger crystals.
