Quantum computers may be able to help create new pharmaceuticals, understand chemical reactions, solve certain problems that are otherwise intractable, create new materials and allow for highly disruptive applications in numerous sectors.

Since its creation in 1946, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has supported the early-career research of more than 60 Nobel laureates. ONR is proud to add two new names to that prestigious list — Dr. David Baker of the University of Washington (UW) and Dr. John Hopfield of Princeton University, who received the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry and physics, respectively.

On Sept. 29, Dr. Michael Traweek answered questions about flow noise on Facebook and Twitter. See a transcript.

The aim of the Office of Naval Research's Naval Force Health Protection program is to research and develop innovative capabilities to protect the warfighter, reduce injury risk and improve combat casualty care while also optimizing performance.

The Flight Dynamics and Control program is part of the Office of Naval Research's Naval Air Warfare and Weapons Department.

The Jet Noise Reduction program is part of the Office of Naval Research’s Noise-Induced Hearing Loss program and is a result of the health and environmental impacts of aircraft noise.

The goal of the surface ship hydrodynamics and dynamics research area is to develop increased understanding and predictive simulation capabilities of nonlinear interaction of surface ship and ocean environment, free surface turbulence, surface ship dynamics, and hydrodynamic loads in relevant operation environment.

The Office of Naval Research's Propulsion Materials program involves, in part, the kinetics and thermodynamics of materials interactions and materials stability under marine operating environments and temperatures.

The Manpower, Personnel, Training and Education Information Sciences portfolio funds basic research, applied research and advanced technology development in metrics development, data ontology, data mining and machine learning to optimize performance, manpower modelling, personnel screening, training and education opportunities for the warfighter within the Naval enterprise.

The following Office of Naval Research offices carry out award administration, indirect cost rate negotiations, business system reviews and quality assurance responsibilities.
