A panel of judges from the Bay Area and Silicon Valley investment community chose a PNNL innovation from 10 product pitches.

Connected moments math shortcut shaves time and cost of quantum calculations while maintaining accuracy

A recent special issue in The Journal of Chemical Physics highlights PNNL's contributions to developing two prominent open-source software packages for computational chemistry used by scientists around the world.

The Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory in Sequim, Washington, is the U.S. Department of Energy's only marine research facility. It has a rich history and expanding research scope.

Ettringite, a mineral found in cement, can latch on to and detain the wily and worrisome radioactive contaminant, pertechnetate.

PNNL researchers are examining the volatile radioisotope iodine as it evolves in the atmosphere and as it lands on a filtering surface. A more detailed understanding of the interactions and chemical evolution of radioiodine could help first responders' decision-making after the release of volatile iodine into the environment, which happened following nuclear power plant accidents in 1986 at Chernobyl and in 2011 at Fukushima.

A multi-institutional effort led to the design of a highly active and more durable catalyst made from cobalt, which sets the foundation for fuel cells to power transportation, stationary and backup power, and more.
