There is groundbreaking science happening in every corner of the world. Latin America is no exception.

Two decades ago, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) helped Dr. W.E. Moerner in his quest to find “a molecule in a haystack,” work that is transforming the field of medicine and has earned the Stanford University professor the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

ONR-sponsored researchers at the University of California Los Angeles have designed the first detailed computer simulation model of an injured human leg, complete with spurting blood.

Scientific collaboration was front and center as Capt. James Borghardt, commanding officer of the Office of Naval Research Global, officially inaugurated a new location in Melbourne, Australia, on Nov. 6.

Basic research program aims to increase counter-IED predictive capabilities

A longstanding partnership between the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and one of the country’s foremost oceanographers will culminate on June 21 with the launch of a 24-hour “newsroom” to track scientists’ activity aboard research ships and in the field and broadcast their findings to students and teachers around the world.

ONR will engage with students, families and teachers at the USA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington, D.C.

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.

Researchers at Georgia Tech have created an artificial intelligence software program to teach robots to read stories, learn acceptable behavior and understand successful ways to conduct themselves in diverse social situations.

For achievements in fields ranging from robotic learning to photovoltaics, six researchers sponsored by the Office of Naval Research were honored with Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE).
