PNNL evaluates bacterial, fungi, and algae strains as part of a four-step process to streamline and standardize biomanufacturing processing.

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.

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.

PNNL provides tools and expertise to bring faster, cost-effective catalysts to industry that can be produced at a large scale.

PNNL and their collaborators are investigating combinations of fuels to boost vehicle efficiency, performance, and affordability.

The Computational and Theoretical Chemistry Institute (CTCI) aspires to establish a premier international center for chemistry and materials science software at extreme scales.

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 is leading an effort to reveal the potential of algae for biofuels to replace conventional fuels for transportation.

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.

The E-COMP Initiative is creating new capabilities that enable the optimized design and operation of energy systems subject to multiple objectives and with high levels of power electronic (PEL) driven devices.

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.

The Institute for Integrated Catalysis (IIC) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory explores and develops the chemistry and technology of catalyzed processes that enable a carbon-neutral future.

PNNL administers two research buoys for the U.S. Department of Energy that allows collection of wind meteorological and oceanographic data off the nation's coasts.

The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is developing a Port Electrification Handbook—a reference to aid maritime ports nationwide in their clean energy transition.

Our nation’s critical infrastructure supports the security and wellbeing of our society. Maintaining the resilience of important markets and services is vital to upholding our way of life.  

The RD2C laboratory-directed research initiative seeks to develop resilient, adaptive, and intelligent sensing and control algorithms through the observational understanding and characterization of CPSs under adverse conditions.
