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.
The Center for AI @PNNL is driving a research agenda that explores the foundations and emerging frontiers of AI, combining capability development and application to mission areas in science, security and energy resilience.
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.
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.
PNNL and ORNL are working together on Digital Twins to modernize the U.S. hydropower plant fleet, which will reduce operating costs, improve reliability, reduce downtime, enhance grid resiliency, and reduce environmental impacts.
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 partners with agencies and industry to identify and engage historically disadvantaged populations in regulatory decision-making, environmental assessment, and impact estimation of the consequences of complex polices and projects.
The Isotope Program at PNNL supports scientific advances in the production and use of radioisotopes for research, medicine, and industrial applications.
The Joint Global Change Research Institute conducts research to advance fundamental understanding of human and Earth systems and provide decision-relevant information for management of emerging global risks and opportunities.
PNNL is heavily engaged in the development and use of mass spectrometry technology across its science, energy, and security missions, from fundamental research through mature operational capabilities.
Advancing the understanding and monitoring of nuclear material processing to accelerate development and qualification of new material systems for national security and nuclear energy.
The Molecular Observation Network is a national open science network designed to produce a comprehensive database of molecular and microstructural information on soil, water, microbial communities, and biogenic emissions.
