The University of Manchester researchers are using synthetic biology to explore a more efficient and reliable pathway towards the production of jet fuels.

Dr. Frances H. Arnold, a former ONR-sponsored performer, received the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the first American woman to win science’s most recognized award.

ONR is looking to the sun for energy in an effort to help Marines do away with diesel-guzzling generators now used in combat outposts.

A new video provides an in-depth look at three ONR TechSolutions prototype technologies that may soon affect the day-to-day lives of warfighters.

Dolphins do it. Big brown bats do it. And sometime soon, the Office of Naval Research hopes its researchers will be able to do it too. Echolocation, that is, and turning the processing of such signals into a system that will enable us to mimic a flying bat's ability to detect and classify a flying...

They call them "gliders," but these move through water instead of air. Two new robotic gliders—autonomous underwater vehicles—powered by changes in their own buoyancy or by different temperature layers in the ocean—will be tested opera-tionally off Southern California this winter. Both gliders were...

The stuff of Army and Marine Corps boot camp is legendary - mud, grueling marches, hours of, climbing and crawling with the requisite 100-lb pack, through smoke, barbed wire, gun and missile fire, with sweat, little sleep, scanty rations, and punishing, in-your-face "trainers." The culminating final...

Students from around the globe competed for bragging rights and cash prizes in annual RoboSub Competition.

Winners of ONR's STEM Grand Challenge will produce intelligent tutoring technology that will be used to enhance the STEM skills of students, Sailors and Marines.

The process of locating and installing attachments and structural penetrations is very time intensive and has a substantial impact on the cost and schedule of the outfitting of Navy warships, particularly in submarines.
