For the second time, the U.S. Department of Energy renewed funding for a center designed to explore fundamental scientific principles that underpin technologies such as solar energy and fuel cells. Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, …
Susannah Burrows and Manish Shrivastava of the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have been selected to receive 2018 Early Career Research Program awards from the U.S. Department of Energy. The two are among 84 recipients …
A deep neural network running on an ordinary desktop computer is interpreting highly technical data related to national security as well as — and sometimes better than — today's best automated methods or even human experts. The progress tackling some …
Scientists have obtained a slew of key information about proteins, the molecular workhorses of all cells, from single human cells for the first time. The stockpile of information about proteins — the most such data ever collected from a single mammalian …
For the first time, researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and LCW Supercritical Technologies have created five grams of yellowcake — a powdered form of uranium used to produce fuel for nuclear power production — using acrylic fibers to …
ASTM International recently revised ASTM D7566 Annex A5 — the Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuel Containing Synthesized Hydrocarbons — to add ethanol as an approved feedstock for producing alcohol-to-jet synthetic paraffinic kerosene (ATJ-SPK …
An organic molecule used in dyes and antibiotics may be the key to less expensive, more efficient redox flow batteries. Scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory developed a highly reversible, water soluble material …
The University of Alaska Fairbanks and the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have signed a five-year collaborative agreement to advance research on hydropower generation, marine renewable energy and underwater technology …
In the wee hours this Sunday, May 20, a rocket will thunder off from a NASA launch pad in Virginia, carrying a handful of seeds, part of a science experiment in which a scientist at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is …
In a first-of-its-kind demonstration, researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have vitrified low-activity waste from underground storage tanks at Hanford, immobilizing the radioactive and chemical materials …
A collaboration between Oregon Health & Science University and the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been chosen as a national center for a Nobel Prize-winning method of imaging that is revolutionizing structural …
Scientists at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are key contributors to a massive international experiment that will search for the majority of matter — origin unknown — in the universe. Physicists and chemists at the Department of Energy national …
Hurricanes that intensify rapidly — a characteristic of almost all powerful hurricanes — do so more strongly and quickly now than they did 30 years ago, according to a study published recently in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American …
The U.S. Department of Energy today unveiled a powerful, new earth system model that uses the world's fastest computers so that scientists can better understand how earth system processes interact today and how they may evolve in the future. The …
Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed and successfully tested a novel process — called Friction Stir Dovetailing — that joins thick plates of aluminum to steel. The new process will be used to make lighter-weight military …
RICHLAND, Wash. — James "Jim" Ang has joined the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory as chief scientist for computing. Ang will also serve as the lab’s point of contact for DOE’s Advanced Scientific Computing Research …
Embracing the 'power of partnerships,' the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Washington State University today announced the formation of the WSU-PNNL Institutes — a collection of three joint institutes that will …
Tracie Cowen has been selected as chief financial officer at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Cowen also will serve as associate laboratory director for Business Services. She will assume her new responsibilities on …
When it comes to the special sauce of batteries, researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have discovered it's all about the salt concentration. By getting the right amount of salt, right where they want it, …
Scientists the world over seek to understand more about the nature of the universe by searching for a theorized form of radioactive decay called neutrino-less double beta decay. Its existence could help answer basic questions about the universe, such as …
