Understanding the risk of compound energy droughts—times when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow—will help grid planners understand where energy storage is needed most.

Newly developed ultra-low radiation cables reduce background noise for neutrino and dark matter detectors.

Neutrino mass, a crucial piece of many unresolved physics puzzles, may one day be revealed through a novel measurement system that has just proven its mettle: Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy.

The Washington State Academy of Sciences consists of more than 300 elected members who are nationally recognized for their scientific and technical expertise.

PNNL licensed two technologies to generate hydrogen. One, a reactor design, generates hydrogen from natural gas. The second innovation uses a 3D printing method to economically manufacture the generator.

Ultra-trace radiation detection technique sets new global standard for measuring the nearly immeasurable.

Radiation from natural sources in the environment can limit the performance of superconducting quantum bits, known as qubits. The discovery has implications for quantum computing and for the search for dark matter.

WSU recently announced James Boncella will lead the WSU-PNNL Nuclear Science and Technology Institute.

Plug and Play DER Challenge seeks to enable distributed energy technologies to integrate, connect and operate in harmony on the power grid.

DOE gives go ahead for SuperCDMS — one of the world's most sensitive dark matter experiments.

PNNL's ultra pure copper and cooler part of search for answers about matter

PNNL has been honored with three awards for excellence in transferring technologies to private sector by the Federal Laboratory Consortium.

Scientists detect phenomenon in lab that occurs during neutron star formation and supernovae explosions.

PNNL researcher Bruce Kay has been elected to membership in the Washington State Academy of sciences and three other staff members have been elected to positions on the WSAS board of directors.

Longtime PNNL researcher and ultrasound pioneer dies.

To study some of the tiniest particles in the universe, an international band of physicists is building a massive instrument to look for signs of particles predicted to be fundamental to the workings of the universe.

The search for dark matter called spin-dependent WIMPS is on — in an underground lab in Canada

PNNL's Xue Bin Wang has been elected to the rank of fellow of the American Physical Society for his contributions in condensed phase chemical physics.

Calcium carbonate found in chalk, shells and rocks is one of the most important materials on earth. New insights on how it turns into hard, strong materials will help scientists design materials needed for a low-carbon future.
