New AI approach bridges the “slim-data gap” that can stymie deep learning approaches
Scientists created a fast-track tutorial that equips a neural network to tackle drug discovery and other applications where there's a shortage of precisely labeled chemical data.
When Kidney Failure Starts at the Heart
One of the most common and deadly complications from a heart attack is kidney failure. New research indicates that a specific protein in the bloodstream created after cardiac arrest may be the culprit...
How a Chemical Probe Can Show ‘Who’ is Responsible for ‘What’ in Our Gut Microbiome
Our gut’s microbial community is not unlike a country club membership. We know who’s a member, but we may not know how each contributes to the overall function or health of the club....
Radioactive Waste Within Reach
Installing new access holes (up to 6 feet in diameter) could reduce the overall time and cost to retrieve waste from Hanford's underground storage tanks, according to a structural analysis of the tank domes by PNNL and Becht Engineering.
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.
Northwest Cybersecurity Symposium
The goal of the symposium is to bring together industry, research and government for the advancement of cybersecurity
Creating Circular Economies
Our economies and supply chains are mostly linear: extract, produce, use, dispose. What if we could master our transformations of matter in a circular fashion? How far could we drive our own supply chain efficiencies and sustainability?
Northwest Quantum Nexus Summit
On March 18-19, a coalition led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Microsoft Quantum, and the University of Washington will convene to launch the Northwest Quantum Nexus (NQN).
Exploring Encounters between Humpback and Floating Wind Farms
Mama and calf humpback whales—considered a vulnerable species that might be entangled in underwater equipment—star in a new animation video that depicts the marine mammals’ scale and movements relative to floating offshore wind farms.
