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.

Fifteen teams from three continents met on the beaches of Honolulu, Hawaii, last week for the 2018 Maritime RobotX Challenge, co-sponsored by ONR.

The Marine Corps Civil Information Management System (MARCIMS) helped Marines manage, track and analyze construction projects, health engagements and civil affairs during the 32nd Cobra Gold exercise.

After a six-year voyage on the high seas, research vessel (R/V) Roger Revelle is coming home to San Diego today.

With just 24 months in existence, ONR Global's Prague office has already accomplished pioneering work in technologies from cyberdefense to new air traffic control models.

Thick-sectioned Alloy 625 plate was selected for the fabrication of several critical components on CVN 78.

Two prototype (preproduction) weld seam facing tools, which were developed under a Navy Metalworking Center (NMC) project, were recently delivered to Bath Iron Works (BIW) and Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding-Gulf Coast (NGSB-GC).

No bones about it, few would guess that the Office of Naval Research is the backbone of the National Bone Marrow Donor Program. In the 1950s, the Navy emerged as a pioneer in figuring out how to keep the body from rejecting organ transplants, including bone marrow transplants. For a bone marrow...
