Tethered and put through their paces in the lab, they tend to get a bit cranky. But they have the most sensitive noses on the planet, fantastic internal gyros, the most complex visual system known, and muscles so powerful they can instantly lift twice their own body weight. So, scientists are...

ONR-sponsored scientist Dr. Andrea Armani has been named one of Popular Science's 'Brilliant 10.'

The Marine Corps is currently testing an ONR-funded trash disposal system that can reduce a standard 50 gallon trash bag of waste to a half-pint jar of harmless ash

Ten scientists and engineers were recently announced as members of the 2019 Class of Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellows (VBFF)—the Department of Defense's most prestigious single-investigator award.

ONR TechSolutions has developed a lightweight power system to lighten the load of Explosive Ordnance Disposal teams.

Waste heat

Solid-state semiconductors don't handle heat very well. If they're operated at high power, they tend to burn out. Heat poses other problems as well—the hotter the device, the greater the electrical resistance (and the lower the efficiency). Digital semiconductor devices also have capacitive elements...

Physicists deal with unimaginable things… things such as liquids that can flow without resistance. Superfluid helium-3 is one such liquid, but it exists only at an equally unimaginable temperature, a thousandths of a degree above absolute zero. Yet, because it flows without resistance, it flows...

The latest upgrades to the Infantry Immersion Trainer will be demonstrated to Department of Defense officials at Camp Pendleton on Oct. 7, 2010.
