Pristine Air Reveals Pollution’s Impact
Five years ago, in March 2014, researchers spent hours packed aboard a steamy Gulfstream-1 research aircraft as it zig-zagged between pristine air over the Amazon rainforest and polluted air nearby.
Making it Modern: PNNL Infuses Innovation into Nation's Electric Grid
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are helping to lead transformation of the nation's century-old electric grid by developing new technologies to enhance its reliability and security.
Richland Scientists are Teaching Computers to Learn — and Advancing Scientific Frontiers
When you watch young children learning to sort shapes or recognize letters, you can see how layers of knowledge build upon to create new understanding. Humans excel in this regard.

Cloud or No Cloud, That is The Question
Kids lying on their backs in a grassy field might scan the clouds for images—perhaps a fluffy bunny here and a fiery dragon over there. Often, atmospheric scientists do the opposite—they search data images for the clouds
In Search of the Perfect Dynamic Duo for Efficient Cooling
When the weather heats up, so does power demand for air conditioners and refrigerators. But what if you could cool things down by using heat itself instead of electricity?
Precision Control of Complex Electrochemical Interfaces for Separations
PNNL researchers have created a new way to achieve precise control over the chemical composition of complex interfaces.
