Structured to pique students´ career interests in science, engineering, technology, and mathematics, the 47th Three Rivers Science and Engineering Fair was hosted, Feb. 19, at the Naval Support Activity Panama City (NSA PC).

Commander Dylan Schmorrow of the U.S. Office of Naval Research became the first recipient of the Leland S. Kollmorgen Spirit of Innovation Award, presented by the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) on October 2. The officers of the HFES Augmented Cognition Technical Group selected Schmorrow for this award, which was presented at the 4th Augmented Cognition International Conference in Baltimore.

To enhance the decision-making capabilities of Marines, the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines recently held a weeklong exercise called Spartan Emerging Technology and Innovation Week at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

ONR-sponsored researchers found a new way to precisely measure the vortices created by birds’ wings during flight, shedding greater light on how these creatures produce enough lift to fly.

The ONR-sponsored Flashing Light to Text Converter (FLTC) is a ship-to-ship communication system that may enable U.S. Navy vessels to use their signal lamps to text message each other.

Meet EMILY the robotic lifeguard, a remote-controlled buoy that recently was used to rescue nearly 300 Syrian migrants from drowning in the waters off the Greek island of Lesbos.

The Office of Naval Research is sponsoring research to develop environmentally friendly hull coatings to fight off barnacles and other biofouling on Navy ships.

San Diego Padres players will wear the Navy’s blue camouflage digital pattern for Sunday home games during the 2016 Major League Baseball season.

ONR Global TechSolutions recently demonstrated the Anthropometric Measurement Device, which is designed to help select the right aircraft for differently sized aviators.

Extraordinarily rugged with a melting temperature of several thousand degrees Fahrenheit. That describes the results of research into new ceramic materials sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and recently published in the Journal Nature. A research team, led by ONR’s Principal Investigator, Dr. Stefano Curtarolo, Duke University, developed a computational method for creating new types of ceramics using transition metals – carbonitrides or borides – through a process called Disordered Enthalpy-Entropy Descriptor (DEED). The applications are endless, said Dr. Eric Wuchina, a research materials engineer who was the program officer with ONR’s Sea Warfare and Weapons department when Curtarolo’s research team was awarded the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI). According to Wuchina, the variety of new compositions could create potentially millions of new materials.
