The creation of a new kind of rice which gives off nearly zero greenhouse gas emissions during its growth has earned kudos for a team of scientists from three continents, including the lead investigator at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest …
Technologies that impact cyber security, increase our ability to detect trace amounts of chemicals, convert sewage into fuel, view energy processes under real-world conditions and forecast future electric needs are among the newest R&D 100 award …
Tiny marine organisms that play key roles in global carbon and nutrient cycling will be better understood thanks to new genetic tools being developed at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory through a new grant. PNNL is among …
In the quest for renewable fuels, scientists are taking lessons from a humble bacterium that fills our oceans and covers moist surfaces the world over. While the organism captures light to make food in a process called photosynthesis, scientists have found …
Hot on the tail of this year's Nobel prize in physics, another prize came to the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory Collaboration — the 2016 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics. The honor went to researchers — six of whom are now at the Department of …
A materials scientist at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been elected to the rank of Fellow of the American Physical Society. Scott Chambers is a Laboratory Fellow and leads a research team focused on the properties …
Allison Campbell, a chemist and director of a large research directorate at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has been voted 2016 president-elect of the American Chemical Society — the world's largest scientific …
The U.S. Department of Energy is matching a $2.25 million Clean Energy Fund grant from the Washington Department of Commerce to research, develop and demonstrate the technologies needed to create "smart" buildings, campuses and cities to better …
In the future, the Pacific Ocean's temperature cycles could disrupt more than just December fishing. A study published in Nature Communications suggests that the weather patterns known as El Nino and La Nina could lead to at least a doubling of extreme …
A materials science researcher at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been elected to the rank of Fellow of ASM International, formerly known as the American Society for Metals. Suveen Mathaudhu was recognized for his …
Arizona State University and the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington will enter into an agreement to solidify the burgeoning collaboration between the two institutions on research projects related to …

With the opening this week of the Systems Engineering Building at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, a new suite of capabilities become available to researchers and industry to tackle the nation's top challenges in …
Researchers from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will be honored and present new work at the 250th American Chemical Society national meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, Aug. 16-20. Highlights include: Energy Storage: …
Scientists have long worked to understand how crystals grow into complex shapes. Crystals are important in materials from skeletons and shells to soils and semiconductor materials, but much is unknown about how they form. Now, an international group of …
Two researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have been elected to the rank of Fellow in the American Geophysical Union. Alex Guenther and Phil Rasch join the class of 60 scientists being honored by AGU for " …
Using a climate model that can tag sources of soot from different global regions and can track where it lands on the Tibetan Plateau, researchers have determined which areas around the plateau contribute the most soot — and where. The model can also …
Accurately forecasting future electricity needs is tricky, with sudden weather changes and other variables impacting projections minute by minute. Errors can have grave repercussions, from blackouts to high market costs. Now, a new forecasting tool that …
