Nuclear Science and Engineering is at the Core of PNNL’s Tri-Cities Mission
Many of the ultimate applications of PNNL’s nuclear science and engineering capabilities rely on building a fundamental understanding of how materials behave while undergoing irradiation or in radioactive environments.
Bacteria and their Bearing on Bowels and Brain
PNNL researchers today published a pair of papers, in Cell and in Nature, exploring the effects of the gut microbiome on our health, including autism, brain function, and inflammatory bowel disease.
World War II Nazi Artifact at Work at PNNL
PNNL has what’s believed to be a Heisenberg Cube and uses it to help train international border guards to detect illicit nuclear material movement.
New Clues for Delaying, Preventing Type 1 Diabetes
PNNL scientist Wei-Jun Qian and colleagues have contributed to a study that offers clues for delaying or even preventing the autoimmune attack that’s at the core of type-1 diabetes.
A Model Catalyst
Three years ago, a multi-disciplinary PNNL team led by Laboratory Fellow Pete McGrail devised a method to produce magnesium metal from salts extracted from sea water and other brine solutions.

A Precise Look at Alzheimer’s Proteins
Scientists have taken one of the most detailed looks ever at levels of soluble amyloid beta in the brain.
A Promising Trap for Radioactive Waste
A radioactive chemical called pertechnetate is a bad actor when it’s in nuclear waste tanks. But researchers at PNNL and the University of South Florida have a new lead on how to selectively separate it from the nuclear waste for treatment.
