A breakthrough at PNNL could free friction stir from current constraints—and open the door for increased use of the advanced manufacturing technique on commercial assembly lines.

Beyond melting ice and higher temperatures: On Earth Day, scientists consider how climate change will affect national security.

PNNL researchers explore the feasibility of using low-flying drones to survey sites for low levels of radiation.

Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.

As wildfires grow increasingly severe, PNNL researchers are working to slow their spread and mitigate their harmful effects.

Top scientists and officials from government, academia, Alaskan Native communities, and industry are heading to Alaska to focus on driving energy technologies for a more sustainable Arctic region.

PNNL experts perform fundamental climate science work at multiple scales to understand impacts on energy, water, food, and infrastructure systems.

Rotational Hammer Riveting, developed by PNNL, joins dissimilar materials quickly without preheating rivets. The friction-based riveting enables use of lightweight magnesium rivets and also works on aluminum and speeds manufacturing.

PNNL combines AI and cloud computing with damage assessment tool to predict path of wildfires and quickly evaluate the impact of natural disasters, giving first responders an upper hand.

Twelve energy-related technologies developed at PNNL have been selected for additional technology maturation funding to help move them from the laboratory and field tests to the marketplace.

A PNNL study that evaluated the use of friction stir technology on stainless steel has shown that the steel resists erosion more than three times that of its unprocessed counterpart.
