Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) hosted an Energy Storage Siting and Permitting Outreach Workshop last month at the Grid Storage Launchpad in Richland, Washington. The one-day event brought together planners, utilities, and community …
The American Chemical Society (ACS) Women Chemists Committee has named Sarah Saslow as one of nine recipients of its 2026 Rising Star Award at the ACS Spring 2026 Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. This award honors mid-career women scientists for their …
Measuring just under 10 feet long, the seismometer developed at Berkeley Lab’s GMF was deployed 6,995 feet underground on July 27, 2025, through a borehole at Cape Station. Situated beside the U.S. Department of Energy’s Frontier Observatory for Research …
The Science Cobalt (Co) is a critical mineral found in existing and emerging technologies, making understanding its behavior in natural systems essential for developing a robust and secure supply chain. Researchers studied the formation of Co minerals on …
The Science When molecules are confined in optical cavities and strongly coupled to quantized electromagnetic fields, their properties can be modified in ways that require electronic structure approaches to predict these changes. Accurate modeling of these …
Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) plays a critical role in monitoring subsurface conditions during environmental remediation at Department of Energy sites. Deployed at locations such as the Savannah River Site, Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial …
Through the Air Force Education with Industry (EWI) program, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is forging powerful connections between research, leadership, and industry. The program is driving forward the mission to build, sustain, and retain …
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has announced their 2025 Fellows, including three scientists from the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). AAAS awards this lifetime honor to scientists …
RICHLAND, Wash.—A research effort to explore how artificial intelligence can offer an advantage to cyber defenders has made the leap into computing operations at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. “Every large company has a …
RICHLAND, Wash.—Pacific Northwest National Laboratory computational scientist and biological physicist Margaret Cheung has been named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. AAAS is the world’s largest multidisciplinary …
For years, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have tackled wildfire threat from the field—observing how wildfires spread and studying the combination of conditions that help them ignite and how to make …
As technology evolves, the demand for domestic critical materials—such as nickel—continues to increase beyond what can be practically sourced using traditional mining methods. Researchers are exploring alternative, previously unconsidered nickel sources, …
RICHLAND, Wash.—Buildings researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have released a new AI-driven, autonomous bot that could help speed up the energy modeling process for commercial building construction. Long before …
The Science Researchers do not fully understand how microbial species in soil interact to drive important functions such as organic matter composition and persistence, plant growth promotion, or soil stabilization and biocementation. One process that can …
RICHLAND, Wash.—Two technologies from the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have won 2026 Federal Laboratory Consortium Awards. FLC Awards annually recognize federal laboratories and industry partners for pushing scientific …
By optimizing microorganisms that could bolster production of high-value fuels, chemicals, and materials, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) researchers are compressing the time from lab experiments to commercial biotechnology readiness. The …
Although dark matter makes up most of the mass in our universe, it has never been directly observed. To hunt for lighter dark matter and other rare phenomena, researchers must solve a puzzle in their supersensitive detectors: an unexpected number of low- …
The road to deploying the next flagship supercomputer at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) reached an important milestone in January with the delivery of the NERSC-10 Pilot Early Access System (EAS). Smaller than the full- …
A great scientist, Marie Curie, once said, “Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.” Inspired by the opportunity to contribute to post-war efforts, called to action after …
RICHLAND, Wash.—Open-source graphics processing unit (GPU) acceleration is coming to quantum-classical computing through a framework being developed by a team at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory using NVIDIA NVQLink. …
