ONR officials announced successful testing of the Low-Cost UAV Swarming Technology, or LOCUST, program.

ONR highlighted its ESTEP program during the Naval Energy Forum on Oct. 18, 2012.

Rear Adm. Giancarlo Stagno Canziani shared recovery efforts following Chile's 8.8-magnitude earthquake during a lecture at ONR on May 31, 2011.

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.

During the 2020 Trident Warrior exercise, Office of Naval Research-funded scientists dropped sensor buoys to study underwater conditions.

A program sponsored by the Office of Naval Research will expand career opportunities for youth through training in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM).

On March 27, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) will sponsor the launch of a multiplayer online war game—hoping to recruit a community of more than 1,000 players to collaborate on solving real-world problems facing the U.S. Navy.

The Office of Naval Research will host a series of open, interactive question-and-answer sessions on Facebook beginning Wednesday, Sept. 15. These online 'Tech Talk' events will highlight research areas being funded as part of the 2010 Chief of Naval Research Challenge this fall.

Safe removal of roadside bombs and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) is critical in hostile environments. Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) crews often rely on remotely operated robots to disarm explosives – and the Office of Naval Research has just made their job a little easier.

In late March, the U.S. Navy established a camp on a severe and unforgivingly cold stretch of ice about 150 miles north of Deadhorse, Alaska.
