Joel W. Duling will steward PNNL’s $1.2-billion campus development plan and guide the Laboratory’s efforts to achieve net-zero emissions among other duties.
Thin oxide films play an important role in electronics and energy storage. Researchers in PNNL’s film growth laboratory create, explore, and improve new thin oxide films.
On the last Saturday in February, hundreds of high school students and volunteers of all ages convened at the Technology Building on the Columbia Basin College campus in Pasco, Washington. Outside, the weather was brisk. Inside, however, 21 teams of students from across Washington State were heating up for the Department of Energy’s (DOE) 32nd annual Pacific Northwest (PNW) Regional Science Bowl, a full-day event hosted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).
In new work, PNNL researchers find that 10 gigatons of carbon dioxide may need to be pulled from Earth's atmosphere and oceans annually to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. A diverse suite of carbon dioxide removal methods will be key.
Scientists have taken a step toward harnessing a form of artificial intelligence known as deep reinforcement learning, or DRL, to protect computer networks. DRL’s effectiveness at stopping adversaries from reaching their goals offers promise for a role for autonomous AI in proactive cyber defense.
A detailed snapshot of proteins by PNNL scientists marks a big step toward a diagnostic blood test for a deadly form of liver disease – alcohol-associated hepatitis.
