🏆 PNNL is nominated for a @geekwire Award! We're up for the Innovation of the Year Award for our vitrification science, which transforms radioactive waste at the @HanfordvVitPlant into glass. 🗳️ Cast your vote for PNNL by April 10: bit.ly/4bRNQEp

@federallabs 🧪 VaporID detects drugs, explosives, and other chemical threats and fits the operational needs of ports of entry, airports, and beyond. Learn more about these technologies: pnnl.gov/news-media/pnn…

@federallabs 🔬 SenseAI is an electron scanning microscopy technology that helps scientists acquire a deeper understanding of real-world chemical dynamics.

🎉🏆 Two PNNL-developed technologies have won 2026 @federallabs Consortium Awards!

Scientists used a tool called AtomAI to analyze images produced by atomic force microscopy. The trained model allowed the team to track where each nanorod was, how it was oriented, and how aligned the rods became over time. Learn more: pnnl.gov/news-media/pro…

From chaos to alignment ✨ A new study that looks at how protein nanoribbons assemble on mineral surfaces shows that AI and machine learning have become essential tools for analyzing complex datasets to produce meaningful results.

@NVIDIAAI Learn how we're bringing open-source GPU acceleration to the quantum community with NCQLink: pnnl.gov/news-media/pnn…

We're collaborating with @NVIDIAAI to lower barriers for scientists and engineers who want to explore quantum control and measurement in more detail than is typically possible through cloud-based services.

From recovering critical minerals to automating biotechnology and supporting @ENERGY's Genesis Mission, learn what’s possible for autonomous science: bit.ly/4lqnDQv

PNNL scientists are driving the integration of robotics and AI in every science experiment. Our new Autonomy Studio is helping us do that. The result? Science will move at the speed of AI but will continue to be led and directed by humans.

🏆 Handshake named PNNL a top Gen Z employer for the sixth year in a row! PNNL was selected for the Early Talent Award from more than one million employers represented on the Handshake career platform for college students and graduates. @joinHandshake

The workshop is part of PNNL’s Quantum Computing initiative called Quantum Algorithms and Architectures for Domain Science (QuAADS), which aims in part to identify the most important & relevant chemistry problems solvable by the emerging new generation of quantum computers.

This week, PNNL is convening experts in quantum computing from representatives from industry, universities, and national laboratories to discuss future directions for advanced, scalable quantum computing infrastructure.

Building technology that harnesses quantum mechanics requires special materials. @ENERGY's Office of Isotope R&D and Production worked with @PNNLab to strengthen supply chains for isotopically enriched materials essential to quantum tech: energy.gov/science/articl…

During her visit, we shared how PNNL is advancing chemistry and materials research alongside quantum information science with a clear aim: practical scientific impact.

We were honored to host Bindu Nair, @ENERGY's associate director of Basic Energy Sciences, at PNNL, where she kicked off the QuAADS Quantum Computing for Chemistry workshop.

@ENERGY Our work includes faster creation of chemicals & tools, real-time data to stabilize the electrical grid, and AI tools for materials testing & modernizing U.S. nuclear stockpile.

PNNL is joining @ENERGY’s #GenesisMission to use AI to speed up scientific breakthroughs and strengthen national security.

PNNL is a key contributor to @ENERGY Genesis Mission, a collaborative effort focused on using AI to solve some of the most pressing challenges in science, energy, & national security.
