Basic research program aims to increase counter-IED predictive capabilities

An All-Digital Receiver

A new type of analog processor that is compact while offering extremely fast computations for image processing could possibly lead to the creation of an artificial eye that has the potential to replace damaged human retinas, offering sight to the blind if the chip works as planned. The cellular...

Objects shrouded by smoke, fog, dust or camouflage can be isolated and identified by a special camera developed by Office of Naval Research-funded researchers. This device aids human vision, which does not have the capability of seeing very far into the infrared region of the electromagnetic visual...

When landline communications links are on the fritz and the job is too massive for local cellular communications, the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, D.C., stands ready to answer the call. NRL has outfitted Humvees with the capability of immediately providing two-way satellite...

The core objective of this groundbreaking effort is to exploit biology’s distinct ability to sustainably heal, replenish material and respond to constant damage while existing in harsh environments.

For his work in the establishment of a new scientific field, Dr. Nicklas Pisias received the Maurice Ewing Medal, sponsored jointly by the U.S. Navy and the American Geophysical Union.

An ONR-sponsored scientist, Dr. David Wineland, won the Nobel Prize in physics on Oct. 9, 2012.

For the last 50 years, the Office of Naval Research has been in the business of guiding the most "imaginative research" * found across the country. Technologies taken for granted today – the cell phone, the Global Positioning System, the laser, the national bone marrow donor program, for example –...

Great news! Nanotube technology is here to stay! And, physicists tell us that this world of ultra-small atomic tubular structures is soon going to revolutionize our lives in the form of micromachinery... Think small... really, really small. Physicist John Pazik at the Office of Naval Research and...
