As COVID-19 was limiting in-person contact, halting travel, and creating additional barriers, researchers at PNNL were working to find solutions on how they could still get work done while establishing new safety protocols.
Network Collapse, a virtual reality science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) app developed by PNNL researchers, has won a Gold Award from the 2019 International Serious Play Award.
A PNNL study that evaluated the use of friction stir technology on stainless steel has shown that the steel resists erosion more than three times that of its unprocessed counterpart.
A new paper found that hydropower turbines with composite blades generate about 20 percent more power than turbines with traditional stainless steel blades at the same flow rate.
