After 20 years of contributions to the field of hydrogen safety, the Hydrogen Safety Panel launched its new mentoring program at PNNL earlier this year. Now, the program has selected its first two mentees.

Tuning the environment of supported palladium atoms with hydrogen treatment enhances their catalytic activity.

Samrat Chatterjee will serve on the editorial board of Risk Analysis, the flagship journal of the Society for Risk Analysis.

PNNL researchers Marisa Decillis and Luke Richards contributed to a Center for Security and Emerging Technology report, “Securing Critical Infrastructure in the Age of AI.”

Through a detailed examination of historical data supported by mechanistic analysis and model experiments, researchers unveil that a large-scale climate system intensifies heat extremes and wildfire risks in the PNW.

Graduate student Ying Xia has been selected as a Graduate Student Award Finalist for the 2024 Materials Research Society Fall Meeting.

How to keep stray radiation from “shorting” superconducting qubits; a pair of studies shows where ionizing radiation is lurking and how to banish it.

Energy storage is increasingly critical to building a resilient electric grid in the United States—a trend embodied by the Grid Storage Launchpad, a newly inaugurated, 93,000-square-foot facility at PNNL.

This study shows that dry dynamics alone is not enough to understand jet stream persistence. Instead, clouds and precipitation are more important contributors than internal “dry” mechanisms to this memory of the Southern Hemisphere jet.

This study highlights the lack of sufficient eco-geomorphological observations to constrain Earth system models. This emphasizes the need for coordinated observations at various elevations across diverse wetland sites to reduce uncertainty.

A Helios Hydra UX DualBeam, which utilizes a plasma focused ion beam and scanning electron microscope for sample preparation and analysis, was installed at the Grid Storage Launchpad.

PNNL researchers work with industry partners to transform large language models.

A new digital twin platform can help hydropower dam operators by providing accurate and predictive models of physical turbines that improve facilities and enhance reliability.

Research that modeled increased heat pump adoption alongside climate change impacts in Texas showed that high-efficiency heat pumps buffer the strain that electric heating might put on the power grid.

New methodology can evaluate the potential for carbon storage and critical mineral recovery in undercharacterized geological settings.

A new database allows researchers to connect lattice parameters and composition in olivine.

University of Washington Professor David Baker won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for computational protein design.

PNNL introduces students to career opportunities in energy sciences through Pathway Summer School programs.

Pasco School District educators joined Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for an immersive learning experience through the RENEW STEM Institute.

The National Business Aviation Association has named Andre Watson, PNNL's director of Aviation Maintenance, to the 2024 class of the Business Aviation Top 40 Under 40.
