Climate change is bringing more extreme summer weather, from heat waves to hurricanes, that can disrupt the flow of electricity. Here’s how PNNL scientists are working on solutions to protect the nation’s electric grid.

Clean hydrogen energy infrastructure is coming to the Pacific Northwest and PNNL experts are advising the work to come.

PNNL undergraduate intern Madeline Bartels leads research to verify and quantify carbon mineralization at an unprecedented small scale.

Researchers will explore climate, pathogens and energy-efficient microelectronics using 3 million node hours on the nation’s supercomputers.

The first-of-its kind vessel will allow researchers to transport large equipment and take measurements in near-silence with reduced impact on wildlife.

At a one-day summit on PNNL’s Richland campus, scientists and engineers gather to hear from leaders and learn to lead others.

James Koch, a data scientist, developed a technique that enables high-fidelity remote sensing with limited data.

Ji-Guang (Jason) Zhang has been named the first Department of Energy Lab Innovator of the Year.

Once thought to cover too little of the Earth’s surface to affect climate at larger scales, new work finds that city sprawl does add to global warming—over land, at least.

Complex metal alloys enter a new era of predictive design for aerospace and other high-temperature applications.

A sustainable ecosystem concept couples marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) with algae farming in a win-win scenario for the planet.

In a study off the West Coast, researchers find that although seabirds generally soar underneath the height of possible future wind turbine blades, more work is being done to fully understand seabird flight behavior.

Policy changes in power, energy, buildings, and more could help slow global temperature rise, according to a new report with co-authors from PNNL’s Joint Global Change Research Institute.

Scientists unravel a secret to oil production in plants, opening up the possibility of increasing production for biofuels and other applications.

PNNL researchers learn to control peptoid “handedness,” one key to precision drug delivery and diagnostics.

New research sheds light on the biomolecular dangers of night shift work.

A new study suggests accessing groundwater in key regions could become prohibitively expensive as lower-cost stores are used up.

New work finds hurricanes are intensifying faster close to the coast—a trend that’s likely to ramp up in a warmer world.

Vigorous exercise burns fat more in males than in females, but the benefits of exercise are broad for both sexes.

Reaching net-zero carbon emissions goals requires finding transformative paths to manage carbon in difficult-to-electrify economic sectors.
