Wasteform Development Laboratory
Researchers in this lab investigate glass, glass-ceramic, grout, metal, and metal-ceramic wasteforms that will withstand corrosion over geologic time. This includes supporting the nation's nuclear waste vitrification efforts at Hanford.
PNNL Takes Its Radiation Expertise to Space
A launch from Cape Canaveral early today carried a PNNL experiment to space so scientists can learn more about radiation far above Earth.
Hands in the Glove Box
PNNL welcomed United Kingdom researcher for a six-week hands-on research exchange to develop nuclear forensic techniques.
The Atomic Origin of Surface-Dependent Oxidation in Metals and Alloys
An atomic sieving effect selectively promotes diffusion of some species, leading to different oxidation rates at surface facets.
Bylaska Selected for Computational Materials Science Award
Bylaska and team will aim to make computational design of functional materials more targeted, impactful, and user friendly through this award.
Surface Oxygen Functionality Controls the Selective Transport of Metal Ions through Graphene Oxide Membranes
The surface oxygen functionality of graphene oxide may be tuned using ultraviolet light, affecting how differently charged ions move through the material.
Characterizing Tungsten-Based Materials in a Simulated Fusion Environment
Researchers studied the boundary precipitation of tungsten heavy alloys in an extended high temperature irradiation environment
Du Selected for Lindau Spirit Fellowship
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.
Understanding the Forces that Regulate Crystallization by Particle Attachment
Fully identifying what controls nanocrystal assembly requires incorporating non-traditional forces into models.
