The Office of Naval Research (ONR), a leader in the exploration of renewable power, played a major role in the development of a new “World Green City” unveiled in Thailand on Dec. 12 as a prototype community powered by alternative energy sources.

Scientists sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) have genetically modified a common soil bacteria to create electrical wires that not only conduct electricity, but are thousands of times thinner than a human hair.

Researchers at Georgia Tech have created an artificial intelligence software program to teach robots to read stories, learn acceptable behavior and understand successful ways to conduct themselves in diverse social situations.

ONR is supporting research on trimming software bloat to ensure the Navy’s cloud and other computing efforts run more securely and efficiently.

ONR-sponsored researchers will unveil a Web-based tool suite designed to help first responders to international crises, including humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts, during a month-long rollout which begins this week.

The Office of Naval Research’s ocean research is yielding enhanced weather and ocean prediction models that help Navy leaders understand how to route ships around the globe safely, reducing fuel consumption and avoiding ice flows.

In a wind tunnel in Hampton, Virginia , on the 30th of May this year, a new kind of cruise missile engine, called a scramjet, was fired up. Just like any other cruise missile engine, it used conventional liquid hydrocarbon fuel, but this one was a mite different. In simulated hypersonic conditions...

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global selected and co-funded with the U.S. Army Development Command the winning proposal of its second annual Global-X Challenge.

What does remote sensing for camouflaged enemy ground vehicles have to do with breast cancer diagnosis? By next year, perhaps plenty. A smart sensor fusion algorithm modeled on the human visual/brain "unsupervised" learning system and a 200 channel hyperspectral remote sensing capability have been...
