With the help of a diagnostic tool called the Salish Sea Model, researchers found that toxic contaminant hotspots in the Puget Sound are tied to localized lack of water circulation and cumulative effects from multiple sources.
The Energy Storage System Safety and Reliability Forum at PNNL brought together more than 120 energy storage experts from the U.S. Department of Energy, the national laboratories, utilities, industry and academia.
A chemical engineer by day at PNNL, Dan Howe is an ardent home brewer by night. The connection resulted in production of biocrude oil from brewery waste.
Shannon Stahl leads the Molecular Mediators thrust in the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis (CME). Stahl Is the winner of the 2020 American Chemical Society Catalysis Lectureship.
PNNL researchers Lisa Bramer and Sarah Reehl were on a team that received a patent for its work with electron microscopy. Electron microscopy allows scientists to make nanoscale observations of materials.
Daniel Jackson, a nonproliferation policy specialist at PNNL, was selected by the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) as a 2020 Shawn Brimley Next Generation National Security Fellow.
PNNL offers a wide range of internships in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Interns work in offices and laboratories alongside experienced researchers to expand their knowledge and form mentoring relationships.
