A contract has been awarded to design and construct a 24,000-square-foot Collaboration Center, which will allow PNNL to host larger scientific meetings and increase collaboration among researchers and other scientific institutions.

An unexpected discovery has led to a zinc-manganese oxide rechargeable battery that's as inexpensive as conventional car batteries, but has a much higher energy density.

PNNL has licensed a tool that analyzes the combination of cyber and physical threats which can uncover vulnerabilities that may not be apparent by looking at them separately.

Scientists can now analyze and separate atoms and molecules according to their size and molecular structure with a clarity and precision well beyond conventional mass spectrometers, thanks to the new 21 Tesla Ultra-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometer.

Rising river waters deliver a feast of carbon to hungry microbes where water meets land, triggering increased activity and altering the flow of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

PNNL researchers are designing synthetic polymers with the versatility of nature's original polymers, the ubiquitous proteins.

For the first time, researchers have been able to see what makes this titanium alloy so strong – and then make it stronger.
