The Office of Naval Research's Thermal Science and Engineering program advances thermal science through fundamental studies of multi-phase heat transfer, fluid dynamics and nanostructured materials.

On the heels of a vibrant meeting between some of the nation’s top minds in autonomy and unmanned systems, officials at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) announced today they will host a similar gathering of experts on the subject of information dominance and C4I (command, control, communications, computers and intelligence) later this year.

On March 26, Lt. Cmdr. Tom McAndrew became the first ONR Reservist to win a Federal 100 Award.

The United States Navy and Marine Corps are an expeditionary team. Thus they operate in the littorals-in the sea and on the land along the coastline. Expeditionary work takes a very different set of operational capabilities from those needed in blue-water fleet operations. The Navy must bring in the...

Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Lorin C. Selby last week introduced a new vision for future naval power—one based on faster development of unmanned, autonomous systems, vibrant partnerships with industry and academia, and reimagined naval formations.

As the Navy prepares to deploy its first laser weapon on a ship later this summer, Office of Naval Research (ONR) officials announced June 11 that they have finished awarding contracts to develop a similar weapon to be used on ground vehicles.

The Office of Naval Research's Nanoscale Computing Devices and Systems Program objective is to study the electronic, optical and magnetic properties of, and potential device functionalities in, nanometer scale materials and structures.

An Office of Naval Research (ONR) grantee has been awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in physics for research into the properties of a two-dimensional material that could one day replace computer chips.

ONR is committed to attracting and retaining the best and the brightest talent to meet the advanced needs of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.

The International Cooperative Engagement Program for Polar Research (ICE-PPR) International Workshop for Sea Ice and Icebergs was held recently at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The workshop attendees focused on three areas: science and technology researchers who study data and create new algorithms or sensors; the centers that produce ice analysis products for mariners; and the operators themselves, personnel from the U.S. and Canadian Navies and Coast Guards who have operated ships in polar regions.
