“Create a materially better future.” That’s the slogan of the Accelerate Conference presented by the Acceleration Consortium, a global network of researchers working to fast-track materials discovery. This year’s conference featured talks by four …
A recent collaboration among researchers from HUN-REN Wigner Research Centre for Physics in Hungary and the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, along with industry collaborators Sandbox AQ and NVIDIA, has achieved unprecedented …
RICHLAND, Wash.—Scientists are gathering at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory this week for a first-ever conference to consider ways to protect critical systems such as our electrical grid, water treatment plants and …
The Science Oxygen is an important driver of biogeochemical processes in soils. Coastal systems experience frequent flooding due to tidal cycles, variable rainfall, and storm surge events. These events can result in rapid consumption of oxygen, but the …
As the amount of data that people and machines create, collect, process, and store continues to increase in size and complexity, so does the task of keeping cyber systems safe and secure from ever more sophisticated cyber threats. A team of researchers at …
The National Hydropower Association awarded the Outstanding Stewards of America’s Waters award in public education to Alison Colotelo, hydropower program lead and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) ambassador at Pacific Northwest …
Samrat (Sam) Chatterjee, a chief data scientist and team leader with the Data Sciences and Machine Intelligence group at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), was the co-author of a workshop report on agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems …
The Science Global change processes modify the extent and functions of the transitional zones between wetlands and uplands—terrestrial–aquatic interfaces (TAIs)—in both marine and freshwater ecosystems. How fluctuating water levels alter groundwater …
The Science Deep convection is a major contributor to annual total precipitation and a source of very high-intensity rainfall over coastal Texas. Understanding the initiation and development of deep convection, including isolated deep convection (IDC) and …
Friction stir processing (FSP) runs a spinning tool along the surface of a material, using the heat generated by friction to transform the material microstructure—an approach that can help quickly and precisely engineer alloys for next-generation vehicles. …
The Science Pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb) clouds form from wildfire-driven convection. PyroCb clouds contain large amounts of black carbon (BC) mixed with water and organics. BC particles have a large effect on our climate because they can absorb sunlight, …
Artificial intelligence (AI) can be a powerful tool to help solve scientific problems. In an interview with the EY Leading into Tomorrow podcast, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Johns Hopkins University Joint Appointee Mitra Taheri …
The Electrical Grid Resilience and Assessment System (EGRASS) project at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) not only won a prestigious international R&D 100 Award, but it was also awarded a gold medal in corporate social responsibility for …
RICHLAND, Wash.—Some computing challenges are so big that it’s necessary to go all in. That’s the approach a diverse team of scientists and computing experts led by the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, along with colleagues …
Mengqi Zhao and Chris Vernon both recently started serving in editorial roles at the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS), Zhao as a topic editor in Earth science and technology, and Vernon on the editorial board as associate editor-in-chief for data …
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) serves as a crucial hub for national energy innovation, as demonstrated by its involvement with three projects supported by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Electricity (OE). Guam Power Authority (GPA …
Mark Maupin, a computational and data scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), was the team lead for a paper published in the journal Molecules. The paper, “ezAlign: A Tool for Converting Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Structures to …
Lauren Charles, chief data scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), has been named an affiliate member of Global One Health Academy (GOHA), a North Carolina State University-based initiative that is focused on combating infectious …
The Science As Arctic sea ice thickness continues to decline due to climate change, scientists expect that oil and gas resources in the offshore areas of this region will soon be more economically accessible. This study used an integrated human-Earth …
The Science Hydropower could expand substantially during the twenty-first century in many regions of the world to meet rising or changing energy demands, from socioeconomic development increasing demand for energy to a transition to low-carbon sources of …
