Two years ago, the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory established a proving ground in Richland for the next step in supercomputing development. Called the Center for Advanced Technology Evaluation, CENATE's participating …
Cars and trucks might one day run on biofuel made from seaweed with the help of two technologies being developed at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The two technologies are among 18 new projects receiving $22 million …
Voting is now open for the People's Choice award in Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's 2017 Science as Art contest. Polls will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sept. 22. To vote, simply visit the PNNL Facebook page and "like" your favorites to …
Long gone are the days when light bulbs simply shine in the darkness. Now they can also report their own energy usage, get brighter when people walk by, and even tell you when the conference room is available at work. Light-emitting diodes, also known as …
Many seashells, minerals, and semiconductor nanomaterials are made up of smaller crystals, which are assembled together like the pieces of a puzzle. Now, researchers have measured the forces that cause the crystals to assemble, revealing an orchestra of …
Six clean energy technologies that do everything from protect fish to monitor the health of flow batteries are getting a boost at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. DOE is awarding PNNL nearly $1.5 million to bring six …
Flood modeling analysis by researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is helping to inform federal infrastructure planning and emergency response efforts this hurricane season. Models were used to help evaluate the …
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will lead two new projects to advance resilient distribution systems, focusing on the integration of clean distributed energy resources. PNNL will also partner with other labs on three …
The factors that influence the intensity of hurricanes like Irma and Harvey are under scrutiny at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, where researchers are sorting the environmental conditions that can spawn such powerful …
Lee Cheatham has been named director of technology deployment and outreach at the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Cheatham — the long-time executive director of the Washington Technology Center — was most recently at …
Greece-born chemist Sotiris Xantheas is going home. A new award from the Greek Diaspora Fellowship Program, co-managed by the Institute of International Education and the Fulbright Foundation in Greece and funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, will …
It turns out that bile is a lot more dynamic than you might think. One of the biggest factors affecting bile, which is very important to our ability to absorb nutrients, is our diet. But another is the make-up of the community of microbes in the human gut. …
Small dust particles emitted from the land surface pack an out-sized punch when it comes to influencing rainfall and the water cycle, according to a presentation this week by Ruby Leung of the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National …
When radioactive material is intercepted at the border, officials need scientific support to determine what it is, if it's dangerous to first responders or the public, and if it's illegal to possess. In the latter case, investigators need clues …
A trio of scientists from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory presented new findings about their research on carbon capture Monday, dominating a session on the topic at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society. …
Magnesium — the lightest of all structural metals — has a lot going for it in the quest to make ever lighter cars and trucks that go farther on a tank of fuel or battery charge. Magnesium is 75 percent lighter than steel, 33 percent lighter than aluminum …
