Kristen Backstrom, Tanya Korotkov, and Derek Higgins of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) recently led a team effort that secured external accreditation for the Office of Radiological Security (ORS) Radiological Security Awareness and Response ( …
The Science Viruses rely on host machinery to replicate, and growing evidence demonstrates that they utilize host epigenetic regulation, including histone modification, to modulate host gene expression for their benefit. Pacific Northwest National …
RICHLAND, Wash.—Selecting a contractor or home energy auditor can be stressful when online search engines offer thousands of results. To give consumers a break from wading through endless search results, the Department of Energy has teamed up with Google …
RICHLAND, Wash.—The Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has established the Enhanced Visibility and Event Response capability to help grid operators adapt to a rapidly evolving electricity system and thwart potential adversarial …
RICHLAND, Wash.—Every year, billions of metal pieces are joined together to build millions of vehicles in the United States. These joints must sustain not just regular wear and tear, but also potentially catastrophic forces. Manufacturers have relied on …
RICHLAND, Wash. — Student winners of this year’s regional National Science Bowl competitions will hear about the future of AI from two researchers from the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory this spring. The national competition …
Take a brief walk outside and you’re likely to encounter a wide range of things that could influence your health—the sunlight beaming on your face, a plume of exhaust, or even noise from a car driving by. Each exposure carries with it the possibility of …
RICHLAND, Wash. — Scientists have used the power of AI to analyze and predict the conversion of liquid radioactive waste into solid glass waste forms, increasing the amount of waste that goes into each container of glass produced and reducing operational …
Biologists and engineers have been working together over decades to decipher the language of biology. Now, they are teaching AI models to interpret that knowledge and harness it for national priorities through the Orchestrated Platform for Autonomous …
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) researchers attended the Department of Energy’s annual Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA‑E) Energy Innovation Summit. There, thousands of leaders from government, academia, and industry convened to …
RICHLAND, Wash.—The most demanding calculations in quantum chemistry can now be solved with graphic processing unit (GPU) supercomputers. A recently published study shows that software adapted to use GPU hardware can provide not just speed, but also the …
RICHLAND, Wash.—Three senior leaders have been appointed to roles guiding research programs and operations at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. William A. “Bill” Pike will serve as deputy director for science and …
Scientific and technological advances are changing the front lines for countering chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats. David Wunschel, a chemist and Laboratory Fellow at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), recently …
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 …
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 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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
