How to keep stray radiation from “shorting” superconducting qubits; a pair of studies shows where ionizing radiation is lurking and how to banish it.

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

Recycling polyolefin materials is challenging. One waste management strategy is plastic upcycling. New work demonstrates a single-step upcycling route coupling cracking and alkylation, recycling carbon and keeping valuable resources active.

PNNL’s patented Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion (ShAPE™) technique is an advanced manufacturing technology that enables better-performing materials and components while offering opportunities to reduce costs and energy consumption.

Americans produce enough waste every year to replace up to a quarter of the country’s jet fuel with sustainable alternatives, new research shows.

Researchers designed ultra-low radiation cables to reduce background noise for highly sensitive neutrino and dark matter detectors.

PNNL’s Richard Saldanha will lead a new project to benchmark and validate models of cosmic ray exposure

Glenn Fugate was selected to serve on the American Chemical Society's Science Committee.

PNNL receives a 2023 Federal Laboratory Consortium Far West Regional Award for a technological innovation that could help make the U.S. a producer of critical minerals used in electronics and energy production.

Physicist Emily Mace will share her science journey and an interactive presentation about her current research with middle school and high school students from across the country at the National Science Bowl.

A PNNL innovation uses steam to recover heat from the high-temperature reactor effluent in the HTL process, substantially reducing the propensity for fouling and potentially reducing costs.

A new method to convert waste plastic to fuel and raw materials promises to help close the carbon cycle at mild temperature and with high yield.

Radha Kishan Motkuri lends skill and knowledge to co-lead special edition journal.

From landfills to fill-ups: novel catalysts may make plastic upcycling cleaner and more cost-effective.

Plastic upcycling efficiently converts plastics to valuable commodity chemicals while using less of the precious metal ruthenium. The method could recycle waste plastic pollution into useful products, helping keep it out of landfills.

Focused research studies of advanced algorithms and materials are setting the stage for the next generation of quantum computers.

Carbon-neutral waste-to-fuel flow cell process generates its own energy.

PNNL chief scientist Jonathan Male has been named co-director of the joint Washington State University-PNNL Bioproducts Institute.

A PNNL study has shown the nation’s wastewater resource recovery facilities could generate revenue by converting sludge into biofuel—while significantly reducing disposal costs—using an in-house-developed technology.

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