Several years ago, a relatively new catalyst for vehicle emission control began showing failure. A team at PNNL found that this seemingly suicidal catalyst wasn’t actually self-destructing but was the victim of an external assailant.

A new paper found that hydropower turbines with composite blades generate about 20 percent more power than turbines with traditional stainless steel blades at the same flow rate.

When the weather heats up, so does power demand for air conditioners and refrigerators. But what if you could cool things down by using heat itself instead of electricity?

Many industries are increasingly looking at hydrogen as a relatively new but efficient, clean, and quiet power source.

A new technology that offers a novel way to manufacture extrusions with unprecedented improvements in material properties recently received a U.S. patent.

The atomically precise insights obtained from our experiments and theoretical calculations helped to develop efficient electrochemical interfaces.

The feature article shines a spotlight on the Energy Frontier Research Center led by PNNL.

Can computer vision help radiologists find signs of potential breast cancer?  PNNL researchers are discovering to what extent deep learning—a form of artificial intelligence—can be applied to help find cancer in diagnostic images.

Mama and calf humpback whales—considered a vulnerable species that might be entangled in underwater equipment—star in a new animation video that depicts the marine mammals’ scale and movements relative to floating offshore wind farms.

Researchers at PNNL are now leading research to mitigate biofouling and its impacts on the environment and industry

Xenon search successful! A new scanning transmission electron microscope helps PNNL researchers find xenon deep in a section of nuclear fuel cladding.

Installing new access holes (up to 6 feet in diameter) could reduce the overall time and cost to retrieve waste from Hanford's underground storage tanks, according to a structural analysis of the tank domes by PNNL and Becht Engineering.

One of the most common and deadly complications from a heart attack is kidney failure. New research indicates that a specific protein in the bloodstream created after cardiac arrest may be the culprit...

Our gut’s microbial community is not unlike a country club membership. We know who’s a member, but we may not know how each contributes to the overall function or health of the club....

Researchers from PNNL and other national laboratories, universities, private firms, and government agencies like NASA gather to share the latest findings in nuclear technology, space exploration, and related fields.

Representing aerosols on 1-kilometer cloud scale within a multi-scale modeling framework yields simulation improvement.

Researchers at PNNL are developing a new class of acoustically active nanomaterials designed to improve the high-resolution tracking of exploratory fluids injected into the subsurface. These could improve subsurface geophysical monitoring.
