More than 20 years ago, Kabrena Rodda was a graduate student studying trends in fatalities from what were expected to be “safer” drugs like antidepressants that target only one or two neurotransmitters. These drugs specifically act on serotonin, a natural …
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform all areas of science, energy, and security. Neeraj Kumar, Chief Data Scientist in the Advanced Computing, Mathematics, and Data Division at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), advances …
When it comes to internships, what could be better than helping to make the world a better place? The more than 1,700 interns and research associates at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory this year are doing just that by …
On August 13, hundreds of people gathered at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)-Richland campus in Washington to celebrate a new era of energy storage innovation at the Grid Storage Launchpad (GSL) dedication event. The capabilities in this …
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) recently participated in the Joint Statistical Meeting Conference (JSM). JSM is an annual event that functions as the largest gathering of statisticians and data scientists in North America. PNNL approaches …
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and collaborators took another significant step to improve offshore wind forecasting that will lower risk and cost associated with offshore wind energy development and help the nation reach its wind energy goals …

Lauren Charles, chief data scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), will be presenting at the Forum on Microbial Threats for the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The topic, Advancing Data Sharing to Strengthen …
Scientists continually strive to develop newer, better catalysts to carry out chemical reactions—typically through a trial and error process. Researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and …
Transmission planners can apply to receive an 11-month technical assistance (TA) designed to help them incorporate energy equity in their transmission planning processes. Applications are due October 31, and selections will be announced on December 1. The …
RICHLAND, Wash.—In a new study assessing how climate change might alter hydropower generation across the continental United States, researchers show that except for some parts of the Southwest, hydropower generation is expected to rise in the future. The …
The Science RNA viruses represent a critical component of the soil microbiome due to their impact on reshaping host phenotypes (e.g., metabolic function and pathogenicity) in response to the changing environment. Yet, little is known about how …
When we flip the light switch in our homes, we have come to expect instant access to electricity. Behind the scenes, that reliability depends on utility operators who have developed control systems and fail-safes to keep the power flowing. But times are …
The Science We studied how infants metabolize two pollutants, phenanthrene and retene, found in wood smoke, compared to adults. Using human liver samples from infants (up to 21 months old) and a pooled sample mostly of adults, we measured how fast these …
