The Science Researchers developed a synthesis method to precisely control dopant speciation and clustering in N-containing layered carbon materials. They systematically varied the synthesis conditions of N-doped carbon materials to facilitate or inhibit N …
We are currently witnessing one of the most rapid transformations of our technological landscape—AI is ubiquitous, appearing on our phones, our computers, in the news, and in our conversations with family and friends. The incredible rise of advanced AI …
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) was well represented by mathematician and senior technical adviser Aaron Luttman and science and technology adviser Jonathan Forman at “The Risk Reduction Science and Policy Forum” organized by Johns Hopkins …
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) researchers received honors—including six “Superior Papers” and two “Papers of Note”—for their research and presentations at the 2025 Waste Management Symposia (WM2025). The Waste Management Symposia is the …
In high school, Brienne Seiner was passionate about her theatre activities, both behind the scenes and on stage. Today, as an advisor at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Seiner channels that creativity into her many roles, which include …
RICHLAND, Wash.—Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have begun a series of experiments that could result in more energy for the grid by increasing nuclear fuel efficiency. The tests are made possible by …
The Science Separating critical materials, specifically rare earth elements, from unconventional liquid feedstocks is essential to establishing and maintaining robust and secure domestic supply chains. Graphene oxide (GO) membranes represent a promising …
Realistic small-scale models are delivering big impacts to cyber teams training to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure against cyberattacks. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) recently hosted a training exercise that immersed the U.S. …
When you think about it, humans would probably still be living in caves and using rocks to hunt if it weren’t for early-day metallurgists. We can’t thank these early innovators directly for their contributions to our modern life, but we can thank those …
Alex Beliaev, a biologist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), was selected as a fellow of the Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology (SIMB). Beliaev, who was awarded the fellowship for his contributions to industrial …
The title of Laboratory Fellow at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is one of the institution’s highest honors for scientific and engineering staff. It recognizes individuals with a sustained record of excellence, innovation, and leadership in …
The Science Molecular copper hydrides (CuHs) are prominent catalysts used for transforming unsaturated hydrocarbons because of the selective and low-barrier insertion of alkynes and olefins into the copper-hydrogen bond. However, catalysis is compromised …
Called the arteries of the nation, U.S. waterways are valuable natural resources and key routes for transporting people and goods—but that’s not all they transport. On a microscopic level, particles from a variety of sources—including from sectors such as …
Paul Humble and Huidong Li, both researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), have been named Distinguished Inventors of Battelle. The honor, announced during PNNL’s Pathway to Excellence event in May, recognizes full-time researchers who …
They’ve been powering smartphones and electric vehicles for years—but now, from fortifying the electric grid to fueling freight transportation and critical defense systems, lithium-based batteries are increasingly vital to American industry and security. …
Artistic representations of scientific progress often depict a single genius working alone in a laboratory to make exciting discoveries. But reality features collaboration, with numerous researchers coming together and bringing their distinct expertise to …
RICHLAND, Wash.—Scientists have tapped artificial intelligence and powerful computing to take a first step to speed up how quickly officials are able to learn important details about nuclear events such as explosions, accidents or industrial emissions. …
Dušan Veličković, a mass spectrometry imaging scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), recently received a $2.1 million grant to develop techniques to understand how changes in carbohydrate structure affect human health. Through the five …
The Science Metals, including critical materials or harmful pollutants, can incorporate into minerals in small quantities. These metals act as dopants and can dramatically affect the minerals’ properties. The minerals can then store or transport the …
Quantum computing has arrived. Now, what do we do with it? Scientists have argued for decades that a computer operating in the quantum realm is uniquely suited to solving complicated quantum chemistry problems. But which ones? When there are more than 100 …
