Reversing the Sounds of Silence
Hearing Loss Pill Coming on Market For the last several years, the Office of Naval Research has funded the research of Colonel Richard D. Kopke, MD, and Commander Michael E. Hoffer, MD, at Naval Medical Center San Diego on the prevention and restoration of hearing loss — loss that is due to...
Ideas in Flight: ONR TechSolutions Delivers New Realistic Flight Simulator
A new innovation in aviation training, featuring a simulator sponsored by the Office of Naval Research TechSolutions program, delivers a better way to prepare future Navy pilots.
A Surfeit of Eels
For centuries, schoolchildren have recited the tale of the demise of England's King Henry I, a cruel medieval monarch (blinded one kinsman, imprisoned another for 28 years) who died in a wretched state (so we're told) after dining on "…a surfeit of eels of which he was inordinately fond" thus...
Applied Cyber Resiliency
The Office of Naval Research's Applied Cyber Resiliency program focuses on advancing fundamental technology to ruggedize naval data and software systems to achieve mission objectives in the face of adversarial cyber interference.
Small Businesses Look to Fill Navy's Technology Gaps
More than 700 attendees joined the Navy’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) team April 10-13, 2011.
Surface Ship Hydrodynamics and Dynamics
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.
Materials Treatment and Recovery
The Navy faces the complex task of efficiently managing diverse material streams, either generated as operational byproducts or at the end of their service life. The Office of Naval Research's Materials Treatment and Recovery program ensures their appropriate treatment and, where economically feasible, resource recovery.
Former ONR Performers Win Nobel Prizes in Chemistry, Physics
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.
Directed Energy Weapons: Ultra-Short Pulse Laser and Atmospheric Characterization
The Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) Program is part of the Office of Naval Research's Naval Air Warfare and Weapons Department.
Navy Recruits Diversity of Thought through Summer Internships
School may be out for summer, but an opportunity to gain valuable, professional experience in their field of study has just begun for students enrolled in Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and Minority Institutions’ (HBCU/MIs’). Anthony Smith, director, Department of Navy's (DoN) HBCU/MI Program, said there are eight different internships with the addition of a new one this year. “We are embarking on a new student internship program with the Navy Facilities Command (NAVFAC),” he said. “That’s a big deal because that’s focused on students in engineering but more along the lines of civil engineering and construction technology – and that’s a big one that we have not had before. So, that’s exciting for us.” Education and outreach from the DoN includes college internships, graduate fellowships, science fairs and competitions, and curriculum enrichment programs for students of all ages. The HBCU/MI program aims to increase participation from under-represented educational institutions for research, development, test and evaluation programs.
