PNNL undergraduate intern Madeline Bartels leads research to verify and quantify carbon mineralization at an unprecedented small scale.

Fully identifying what controls nanocrystal assembly requires incorporating non-traditional forces into models.

Researchers will explore climate, pathogens and energy-efficient microelectronics using 3 million node hours on the nation’s supercomputers.

A compilation of soil viral genomes provides a comprehensive description of the soil virosphere, its potential to impact global biogeochemistry, and an open database for future investigations of soil viral ecology.

A multi-institutional team of researchers conducted a 13C-labeling greenhouse study using a semi-arid grassland soil, where they tracked the fate of 13C-labeled inputs from living roots and decaying roots from annual grass Avena barbata.

Researchers developed a framework for representing aerosol particles in climate models.

The first-of-its kind vessel will allow researchers to transport large equipment and take measurements in near-silence with reduced impact on wildlife.

Researchers demonstrate an AI that can be taught to recognize cloud types by looking at millions of satellite images of clouds without requiring human input.

Researchers measured ice nucleating particles composition at the Southern Great Plains atmospheric observatory, enabling them to identify sources of particles that make them effective ice nucleators.

National laboratory expertise was on display at the 2024 Department of Homeland Security Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation Summit.

To improve our ability to “see” into the subsurface, scientists need to understand how different mineral surfaces respond to electrical signals at the molecular scale.

Jingshan Du, a Washington Research Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow, attended a Lindau Nobel Laureate meeting as one of only five young researchers awarded a Lindau Spirit Fellowship.

At a one-day summit on PNNL’s Richland campus, scientists and engineers gather to hear from leaders and learn to lead others.

PNNL’s Fatih Evren receives an ASHRAE best paper award for buildings-related research.

The surface oxygen functionality of graphene oxide may be tuned using ultraviolet light, affecting how differently charged ions move through the material.

A recent study suggests a higher global mean precipitation increase and narrows the uncertainty range.

Researchers studied the boundary precipitation of tungsten heavy alloys in an extended high temperature irradiation environment

PNNL and collaborators developed new models—recently approved by the U.S. Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC)—to help utilities understand how new grid-forming inverter technology will enhance grid stability.

The study found that the way a fire burns (in open air versus in an oven in a controlled lab setting) can greatly change the leftover materials (char or charcoal) and how they interact in the environment.
