Field campaign data from the U.S. Southern Great Plains are helping to improve model representations of these small yet influential clouds.

Many of the ultimate applications of PNNL’s nuclear science and engineering capabilities rely on building a fundamental understanding of how materials behave while undergoing irradiation or in radioactive environments.

Scientists demonstrated a direct link between tropical rainfall intensity and spatial distribution of surface moist entropy.

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are working to realize an entirely new kind of computing that could revolutionize research in areas ranging from clean energy to secure communications.

At the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, our 4,400 exceptional staff members are committed to transforming the world through science and technology.

Spring may be just around the corner, but according to the National Weather Service this year’s February snowfall in the Tri-Cities was the most on record since 1916.

PNNL researchers have created a new way to achieve precise control over the chemical composition of complex interfaces.

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are helping to lead transformation of the nation's century-old electric grid by developing new technologies to enhance its reliability and security.

Scientists at PNNL's Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis (CME) are working to understand the fundamental reactivity of H2 that could contribute to making hydrogen a more widely used fuel source.

Using a bio-inspired design that mimics nature's catalysts-enzymes, researchers at PNNL have designed a rarely seen reversible synthetic catalyst.

When you watch young children learning to sort shapes or recognize letters, you can see how layers of knowledge build upon to create new understanding. Humans excel in this regard.

PNNL is advancing scientific frontiers and addressing challenges in energy, the environment and national security. So, in no particular order, here are PNNL's top 10 research accomplishments of 2018

As countries revised previously reported statistics, coal data showed larger adjustments than oil and natural gas.

Arctic and midlatitude black carbon particles intensify haze over the North China Plain by weakening the East Asian winter monsoon.

At this time of year, it's easy to have a greater appreciation for light. But, for researchers at PNNL the quest for advanced, efficient lighting technologies is a year-round pursuit.

A unique strategy sharpens understanding of the behavior and physics within the model’s atmospheric component.

Imagine a nascent crack in the sidewalk that heals itself rather than growing into an eyesore or a tripping hazard.

Peering through the thick, green glass of a decades-old "hot cell," an expert technician manipulates robotic arms to study highly radioactive waste from Hanford, in support of ongoing cleanup.

Alaska's remote location and vast wilderness contribute both to its beauty and its challenges.
