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...

Navy scientists lead their peers when it comes to newly patented discoveries and inventions, according to the 2010 Patent Power Scorecard published by the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

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...
