Dr. Syed Jafar, an ONR-sponsored scientist, recently won the 2015 Blavatnik National Award for Young Scientists for his work relating to network information theory.

Ketone esters—oral supplements useful in epilepsy treatment—are being studied to fight seizures caused by hyperbaric oxygen toxicity, a life-threatening byproduct of breathing too much oxygen that impacts deep-water divers.

Missiles are launched at a Navy ship, and Sailors must decide in a matter of seconds how to keep from getting hit. A new

The Office of Naval Research is sponsoring development of a “smart” artificial leg—equipped with special sensors to monitor gait, alert users to prosthetic wear and tear, and warn of potential infection risk.

The Office of Naval Research is sponsoring new research that may protect Navy divers from the underwater threat of oxygen toxicity.

With ONR support, engineers at MIT have designed a portable measurement system to precisely monitor the amount of electricity used by household appliances, lighting fixtures and electronic devices.

New ONR-sponsored findings by scientists at the University of Washington demonstrate that a five-minute measurement of resting-state brain activity predicted how quickly adults picked up a second language.

Aimed at boosting young people’s interest in science and technology careers, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) is sponsoring a team of local high school students as they participate in a robotics competition March 5-6 in Washington, D.C..

Marines Take a Byte Out Of Complex Mission Planning "When carrying out a mission, Marine aviators don't take off without a plan," says ONR science officer Tom McKenna. "A definitive plan is critical. This is because flight schedules are more than just timetables-any scheduling must consider the...

The Office of Naval Research is looking at birds’ perceptual and maneuvering abilities as inspiration for small unmanned aerial vehicle autonomy, trying to understand why birds make particular flight path choices and how they can do so quickly at higher speeds than would be safe for current engineered air systems in these environments.
