Tracking the Neural Network’s Nuclear Clues
A 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan that knocked out a nuclear power plant helped inspire PNNL computational scientists looking for clues of future nuclear reactor mishaps by tracking radioactive iodine.
Two Great Catalysts that Work Great Together
Generating power without gasoline, diesel, or coal could change our nation's energy and security landscape. However, replacing technologies that use fossil fuel with ones that require rare metals is unsustainable.
Cheaper Carbon Capture Is on the Way
PNNL’s newest solvent captures carbon dioxide from power plants for as little as $47.10 per metric ton, marking a significant milestone in the journey to lower the cost of carbon capture.
Battery Reliability Test Laboratory
The Battery Reliability Test Laboratory at PNNL is a world class battery testing facility that has been established to accelerate the development of grid energy storage technologies that will help modernize the power grid.
Getting Clear about Clean Air
Nitrogen oxides, also known as NOx, form when fossil fuels burn at high temperatures. When emitted from industrial sources such as coal power plants, these pollutants react with other compounds to produce harmful smog.
ACS Fall 2023
The annual fall meeting for the American Chemical Society brings together thousands of chemistry professionals to share ideas and advance scientific and technical knowledge.
PNNL and Georgia Tech Strengthen Research Ties
PNNL and the Georgia Institute of Technology vow to collaborate more impactfully and more often in a new MOU announced October 23, 2020.
A Keen Eye Behind the Microscope
PNNL materials scientist Dongsheng Li looks forward to using a co-located collection of advanced research equipment in the new Energy Sciences Center.
Regional Science Bowl Tests Knowledge and Adaptability
High school students from across Washington State competed in the Pacific Northwest Regional Science Bowl, hosted online by PNNL, for a chance to advance to the national competition in May.
New Life for Used Nuclear Fuel
PNNL researchers are advancing AI-assisted nuclear fuel recycling to tap more than 90% of the energy potential left in used fuel, reduce waste and support secure, cost-effective next-generation reactors.
