An award-winning computing method called poly-streaming accelerates the analysis of massive datasets while using limited memory.

Predicting how organisms’ characteristics respond to not only their genes, but also their environments (a nascent field called predictive phenomics), is extraordinarily challenging. Researchers at PNNL are using AI to tackle that challenge.

As Laboratory Director Steve Ashby pens his last monthly column, he highlights PNNL’s accomplishments with pride and gratitude.

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.

From producing radioisotope generators to recovering source materials, researchers are meeting a growing need for medical radioisotopes.

Seaweed could be a new source of critical minerals for electronics, vehicles, and buildings.

Big energy storage science is brewing at GSL just one year after its groundbreaking.

Through an unprecedented collaboration with Idaho, Savannah River, and Argonne national laboratories, the Athena Project has built a network of nearly 150 scientists.

From vehicles and airplanes to solid-phase processing of metals—how Curt Lavender and his team at PNNL solve industry problems with practical ingenuity.

The Low-cost Earth-abundant Na-ion Storage consortium is a major effort to create superior, no-compromise batteries that replace lithium with inexpensive, domestically abundant sodium and use few—if any—critical materials.

The Department of Energy Art of Science contest entry focuses on the extraordinary universe of chemical bond making and breaking under irradiation.

Quantum computing promises leaps in chemistry and materials science, and PNNL is preparing to realize its potential with a collaborative approach.

Experiments focus on catalysts for off-road vehicles that optimize the use of critical minerals while lasting longer and costing less.

PNNL’s science and technology helps hydropower operators detect, prevent and recover from cyberattacks while protecting a source of electricity that enhances grid reliability and resilience.

On June 4, PNNL welcomed the NGFP Class of 2025–2026, the 30th cohort of the program. PNNL has administered NGFP on behalf of NNSA since 2002.

PNNL’s experts in electrification advised ports how to modernize the use of energy resources at the Port of Anacortes. Now they will help do the same with several others.

PNNL chemist and AI scientist Nancy Washton invited to present on AI literacy at National Science Bowl.

Formal mathematics both reveals what’s inside the black box of AI algorithms and pushes the boundary of what’s possible within math as a discipline.

PNNL's “co-scientist” serves as a one-stop AI shop for accelerating scientific discovery. By leveraging AI agents, researchers can explore scientific databases, conduct analyses and request step-by-step plans for testing their hypotheses.

Researchers at PNNL are pursuing new approaches to understand, predict and control the phenome—the collection of biological traits within an organism shaped by its genes and interactions with the environment.
