PNNL is leading the nation with research addressing urgent needs for reimagining U.S. critical infrastructure against the realities of software-speed attacks and hazards.
PNNL conducts AVSEC research and training for multiple U.S. government sponsors. This research covers historical threat materials, methods of attack, and emerging threats due to advances in technology.
Cyber, physical, and blended cyber-physical threats are real, ubiquitous, and expensive to deal with. Private companies, government institutions, and critical infrastructures struggle to implement viable solutions as technology evolves.
To improve reactions important for solar energy storage and fuel cells, the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis (CME) Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) seeks to transform the design of electrocatalysts that convert electrical energy
The Center for Understanding Subsurface Signals and Permeability (CUSSP) Energy Earthshot Research Center (EERC) is working to develop the ability to predict and control fluid flow through fracture networks in enhanced geothermal systems.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is partnering with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to develop and operate the Control Environment Laboratory Resource
Cyber networks are constantly under attack by bugs, bots, and nefarious actors. While system owners acutely understand the need to secure their networks, they’re not always sure of the best actions to take.
In January 2024, CESER—in partnership with GDO, NASEO, and PNNL—created a set of state energy security cohorts to support the coordination and technical development of state energy security planning, assessment, and mitigation.
PNNL is a leader in the integration of aberration-corrected electron microscopy, in-situ techniques, and atom probe tomography to address challenges in nuclear materials, environmental remediation, energy storage, and national security.
PNNL’s ESMI is a Laboratory-funded research and development (R&D) program focused on transforming and accelerating materials development processes for next-generation energy storage technologies.
The Ion Dynamics in Radioactive Environments and Materials (IDREAM) Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) conducts fundamental science to support innovations in retrieving and processing high-level radioactive waste.
The Isotope Program at PNNL supports scientific advances in the production and use of radioisotopes for research, medicine, and industrial applications.
