Maria Glenski believes that being a better mentor has made her a stronger researcher. Her commitment to developing others has been recognized with the 2025 Gold Stevie Award for Mentor/Coach of the Year in the government or nonprofit category. Glenski, a …
RICHLAND, Wash.—Battery companies can now apply to have their grid-scale energy storage systems independently tested at the Department of Energy’s Grid Storage Launchpad, housed at DOE’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. To connect to the nation’s …
In its current form, the nation’s electric grid largely doesn’t store energy. The vast majority of electricity generated by fossil fuels, hydropower, and other sources flows into the grid and is immediately used by consumers. But as battery energy storage …
The Science Rare earth elements (REEs) are crucial for energy-related applications and are expected to play an increasingly important role in emerging technologies. However, these elements have very similar chemical properties and naturally coexist as …
The Science Magnetic beneficiation has historically been used as a solid-phase pretreatment step to upgrade low-grade ores to higher-grade concentrates by removing waste material. Magnetic fields are currently being explored for atom- and energy-efficient …
SEATTLE—Scientists are using generative AI to accelerate a key step in the defense against cyberattacks, performing complex operations in minutes instead of weeks. The team led by Loc Truong at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National …
Last month, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Advisor and GridWise Alliance Board member Brie Van Cleve joined national energy leaders at the annual gridCONNEXT® conference in Washington, D.C., where discussions centered on scaling grid …
Two distinguished electrical engineers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Yousu Chen and Jeff Dagle, have been named fellows of the IEEE. This respected recognition is awarded to individuals who have demonstrated exceptional contributions …
RICHLAND, Wash.—Two related discoveries detailing nanocrystalline mineral formation and dynamics have broad implications for managing nuclear waste, predicting soil weathering, designing advanced bioproducts and materials and optimizing commercial alumina …
PNNL computational scientist Jason McDermott is kicking off the New Year with hundreds of like-minded individuals at the annual Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB). The symposium aims to capture databases, algorithms, interfaces, visualization, …
The Science In oriented attachment, already formed nanoscale crystals come together to create a larger single crystal—a process that significantly differs from classic crystal growth. Despite being observed in many materials systems, the fundamental forces …
Yong Wang, a chemical engineer and joint appointee at Washington State University (WSU) and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), has been appointed the director of PNNL’s Institute for Integrated Catalysis (IIC). Wang has served as the acting …
Renyu Zheng, a graduate student at the University of Washington (UW) who has performed research at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), was selected for the 2025 UW Chemical Engineering (ChemE) Department’s Faculty Lecture Award. The award is the …
Four early career researchers from the Ion Dynamics in Radioactive Environments and Materials (IDREAM) Energy Frontier Research Center were recognized at a Department of Energy (DOE) meeting with a Student and Postdoc Team Science Award for their …
Fifteen years ago, researchers from the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) helped create the world’s smallest battery. At just 16 micrometers long and 188 nanometers wide, the battery fits within a transmission …
The Department of Energy (DOE) announced that Niri Govind from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) will lead a newly awarded Scientific Discovery Through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) partnership. The partnership will focus on developing advanced …
The LEarning-Accelerated Domain Science (LEADS) institute has been selected as the newest Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) institute supported by the Department of Energy’s Advanced Scientific Computing Research program. Panos …
Refrigerant leaks in heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems can potentially lead to a range of problems for consumers, including increased fire risk and exposure to toxic gases. To help address these risks, …
RICHLAND, Wash.—The U.S. Department of Energy today launched a new chapter in autonomous biological discovery at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, commissioning a first-of-its-kind capability designed to accelerate U.S. leadership in the rapidly …
RICHLAND, Wash. — Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is a key partner in the Genesis Mission, the Department of Energy’s integrated ecosystem to accelerate discovery and strengthen U.S. leadership in AI-powered science. Drawing on its deep …
