PNNL’s ESMI is a Laboratory-funded research and development (R&D) program focused on transforming and accelerating materials development processes for next-generation energy storage technologies.

The Interfacial Dynamics in Radioactive Environments and Materials (IDREAM) Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) conducts fundamental science to support innovations in retrieving and processing high-level radioactive waste.

UTEP and PNNL are advancing the collective scientific impact of both institutions through collaborations between PNNL researchers and UTEP faculty, as well as by building on the complementary strengths to grow a diverse STEM workforce.
