Midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy spend years sharpening their academic and leadership skills to prepare for duty. Now, the best and brightest of those midshipmen are advancing future naval research capabilities even before being commissioned and starting their first tour.

As the use of improvised explosive devices (IED) continues to grow globally, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) is exploring physical and social sciences to counter the threat.

The latest upgrades to the Infantry Immersion Trainer will be demonstrated to Department of Defense officials at Camp Pendleton on Oct. 7, 2010.

Taking its science-minded message to the Web, ONR launched profiles on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube earlier this year. The digital media initiative is part of a multipronged approach to help ONR communicate more directly and quickly with partners across government, academia and private industry.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) announced nine winners of an "Energy Challenge" that was issued at its recent Naval Energy Forum.

An Office of Naval Research (ONR) grantee has been awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in physics for research into the properties of a two-dimensional material that could one day replace computer chips.

Dr. Linda Chrisey, a leading scientist at the Office of Naval Research, discussed how researchers are generating electricity from bacteria found in mud and wastewater during National Public Radio's recent "Science Friday" segment.

ONR sponsors work in advanced electronics, such as the Precise At-Sea Ship System for Indoor-Outdoor Navigation (PASSION), that ratchets up the Navy’s ability to keep thorough tabs on its environment. PASSION enables wireless position tracking of both the external and internal environment of naval vessels.

Navy scientists lead their peers when it comes to newly patented discoveries and inventions, according to the 2010 Patent Power Scorecard published by the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

To expand collaboration and initiatives, the 2010 Naval Science and Technology (S&T) Partnership Conference, to be held Nov. 8-10, will explore a wide range of cutting-edge solutions from autonomous systems to countering improvised explosive devices.
