Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) provided technical expertise to five teams of elementary and middle school students competing in the FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL) competitions, including one team that reached the 2025 World …
Where there’s heat, there’s often humidity. When high values of these factors combine, it leads to heat stress—aptly named as this experience makes it difficult for the human body to cool down. A new study led by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory ( …
John VerWey, an advisor in the Mission Alignment group at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), was recently selected to lead a panel discussion at the inaugural Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP) AI+ Compute & Connectivity Summit, held …
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are partnering with U.S. materials company Ampcera, Inc., to help bring a new solid-state battery technology to the market. The PNNL-developed technology introduces …
The Science Chloroaluminate ionic liquids can selectively convert discarded polyolefins into gasoline-range alkanes at temperatures below 100 °C. However, questions have been raised about the speciation of chloroaluminate and its role in the polyolefin …
The Science To solve quantum chemical problems, scientists need to develop effective computational approaches to use quantum tools. Despite the promise of hybrid quantum-classical approaches, they often impose constraints that cause barren plateaus and …
The Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced funding for research on quantum information science-enabled discoveries in high energy physics. Two projects involving Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) researchers were selected for support …
Jeff Burghardt, an Earth scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), is the chair of the 59th US Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium of the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA). The symposium will be held from June 8—11, 2025, in …
Maritime ports, a cornerstone of international trade and local economies, are upgrading their infrastructure and turning to diverse energy sources to cut energy costs, enhance resilience, and strengthen global competitiveness. Nearly 80 percent of the …
The Science Interactions between ions and water play a critical role in how nanoparticles aggregate, but classical representations of nanoparticle behavior do not fully account for molecular-scale forces. Scientists from the Ion Dynamics in Radioactive …
The Science High-quality welding is critical to the strength and long-term stability of various structures, from bridges to nuclear reactors. However, monitoring weld quality during the welding process can be costly and may not take into consideration the …
The Science Recovering critical minerals from complex unconventional feedstocks is crucial for achieving energy dominance, technological innovation, and domestic supply chain security in the United States. Researchers at Pacific Northwest National …
Jingshan Du, a postdoctoral scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), was named to the 2025 Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Future Leaders class. He joins 34 other graduate students and postdoctoral scientists from across the world …
The Science Scientists have discovered that cyanobacteria's internal clock can dramatically improve their ability to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable products. These microscopic organisms, which normally photosynthesize during the day and …
