Science at the Top of the World
Battelle is pushing science forward in some of the most remote and extreme environments in the country—like the Arctic Tundra and Taiga.
Highlighting Battelle Women and Their Journeys in STEM
As Women’s History Month comes to an end, here are highlights from a few successful Battelle women and their journeys in the STEM workforce.
Breaking the Glass Ceiling for 90 Years
At Battelle, women have been an integral part of furthering our mission of translating scientific discovery and technology advances into societal benefits for the past 90 years.
Our Work in Neurotechnology: You Asked; We Answered
We recently hosted an I Am A … Ask Me Anything session on Reddit about our NeuroLife® technology and received more than 250 questions.
Understanding Earth’s Ecology from Above
The NEON Airborne Observation Platform is an array of instruments installed into a light aircraft to collect high resolution remote sensing data.
Collaboration Key to Understanding Pacific Northwest Ecosystem
Two teams of ecologists met up to study the threatened steelhead trout species and map the overall health of a Washington state aquatic system.
How do You Solve an Insurmountable Challenge?
Learn about two employees who developed their ideas into potential life-changing solutions at the 2018 Battelle Innovation Gathering (BIG).
The Coming Revolution of Carbon Nanotubes
You’ve probably heard of carbon nanotubes. They’re small—think 50,000 times smaller than a human hair. And, they are amazing.
One Step Closer to NeuroLife Home Use
Battelle researchers have published a new paper in Nature Medicine describing the advances in the NeuroLife technology that helps paralyzed patients regain conscious control of their fingers, hand and wrist.
Remediation Powered by Fungal Enzymes
Environmental contamination is a problem across the country. What if naturally occurring microbes could solve this challenge?
Why You Should Care About PFAS
There are two sides to every coin. The same can be said of chemicals. Those offering improvements in our daily lives also can have harmful effects.
Systems Engineering to Save the Planet?
OK, it might not be that dramatic, but systems engineering is playing a big role in understanding the ecology of the third rock from the sun.
Exploring the Future of Airborne Remote Sensing
Drones are gaining popularity in environmental and agricultural applications. Could they help NEON expand its airborne remote sensing capacities?
Why Electric-Powered Vehicle Fires Make Headlines
A lithium ion battery packs more energy into a smaller space than a traditional one, which means it packs a bigger punch if something goes wrong.
Educating the Next Generation of Solvers
I’m honored to be part of the newly created STEM Education Advisory Panel that is looking at national solutions to STEM education challenges.
How Well do Automated Vehicles Perform When the Weather Doesn't Cooperate?
Weather is a factor in 22 percent of ordinary vehicle crashes. How do driverless vehicles stack up in the same conditions?
Celebrate Father’s Day with this Father-Son Lab Director Dynamic Duo
Idaho National Lab Director Mark Peters and his father, Leonard Peters are the only father-son duo who have been DOE national lab directors.
Battelle STEM Experts to Attend White House Meeting
Three of our education leaders were recently invited to the STEM Education Summit at The White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy
Carbon Capture & Sequestration is Worth Pursuing
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, which contributes to extreme weather events. That’s why we think CCS is worth pursuing.
User Research Can Create Roadmap for Design
Design options for a project can seem endless, but timelines and budgets are tight. By leveraging user research, an informed roadmap can be created.
