Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Matthew Klunder will discuss opportunities for academia and industry to engage in various Office of Naval Research autonomy and robotics programs.

The Office of Naval Research will join with entrepreneurs, start-ups and other emerging entities, Aug. 6-8 at the 24th annual Navy Gold Coast Small Business Conference.

Extraordinarily rugged with a melting temperature of several thousand degrees Fahrenheit. That describes the results of research into new ceramic materials sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and recently published in the Journal Nature. A research team, led by ONR’s Principal Investigator, Dr. Stefano Curtarolo, Duke University, developed a computational method for creating new types of ceramics using transition metals – carbonitrides or borides – through a process called Disordered Enthalpy-Entropy Descriptor (DEED). The applications are endless, said Dr. Eric Wuchina, a research materials engineer who was the program officer with ONR’s Sea Warfare and Weapons department when Curtarolo’s research team was awarded the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI). According to Wuchina, the variety of new compositions could create potentially millions of new materials.
