Experts in the weird and woolly field of quantum computing tend to concentrate on one slice of the challenge, whether it’s developing hardware, algorithms or applications — but in the… Read More
Oregon-based NuScale Power is the big winner in today’s round of grants from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy for innovations in nuclear reactor technology. NuScale is… Read More
When Orbital ATK’s Antares rocket launches a robotic Cygnus cargo spaceship toward the International Space Station, as early as Monday, it’ll be sending seeds that could show the way for… Read More
The University of Washington and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are joining forces on a new research venture that spans 200 miles to advance the frontiers of materials science. The venture… Read More
Tucked away in Eastern Washington’s sagebrush country, Pacific Northwest National Laboratories (PNNL) can be overlooked with so much attention focused on the Puget Sound region’s tech hub. But the U.S.… Read More
Conversica — a startup developing artificial-intelligence-fueled sales software — may be headquartered in California, but it has distinct ties to the Seattle area. The company traces its roots back to Bellingham, Wash., and… Read More
The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory says it’s about two years away from making hydrogen fuel cell cars more cost-effective — a 20-plus-year journey that once included a dream of going… Read More
What happened to all the antimatter? A particle-smasher in Japan is well on its way to addressing that question and others on the frontier of physics. The SuperKEKB accelerator is designed… Read More
The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, operated by Battelle Memorial Institute for the U.S. Dept. of Energy, is known for its campus in Richland, Wash. The lab has more than 4,300… Read More
Anyone who has shopped for a ring knows that platinum doesn’t come cheap. Existing fuel cells rely on this precious metal as the catalyst to convert hydrogen into electricity, increasing… Read More
The University of Washington is already a budding hub for computer science. Now, with some help from a national laboratory, the Seattle campus will become even more of a CS… Read More
