Traditional materials and processes for science, engineering, and technologies in the context of defense systems and military applications.
Which missiles and/or solid rocket boosters utilize carbon/carbon-silicon-carbide (C/C-SiC) ceramic matrix composite (CMC) thrust vector control vanes for maneuvering?
What publications on reducing the optical cross section in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) (1.0-1.5 um) spectral band for optical systems are available?
Are any standards or studies concerning additive-manufactured aircraft maintenance tooling using direct metal laser sintering available?
In the evolving fields of materials science and 3D printing, engineers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are exploring novel ways to create materials and structures that adapt and respond to their environments. A recent…
So-called “infinite-layer” nickelate materials, characterized by their unique crystal and electronic structures, exhibit significant potential as high-temperature superconductors. Studying these materials remains challenging for researchers; they have only been synthesized as thin films and then…
Based on outstanding technical progress by research teams to date, DARPA has pivoted the third and final phase of its NOM4D (pronounced nō- mad) program from planned further laboratory testing to conducting a pair of…
Ultra-high, molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites are advanced materials that lack experimentally driven, physics-based computational tools for predicting their response. This challenge exists for traditional fiber-based UHMWPE composites in a softer matrix material as well…
Unlike conventional single- or few-layer graphene, turbostratic graphene, which is derived from biomass feedstock, can perform across a wide range of metrics and applications. To raise awareness and increase domestic production of turbostratic graphene, this…
The U.S. National Science Foundation’s Hybrid Autonomous Manufacturing, Moving from Evolution to Revolution Engineering Research Center (NSF HAMMER-ERC) is a collaboration between five universities to develop agile manufacturing systems that use new tools and advanced…
SpaceCom | Space Congress exclusively draws participation from industry leaders and organizations with the power to drive new space strategies, fuel forward progress, signal demand for continued innovation, inform policy, and institute a sustainable future…
During the week of 24-28 March 2025, the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), on behalf of the U.S. Department of defense (DoD) Space Community of Interest (COI), will host a virtual technology interchange meeting…
The National Fire Control Symposium (NFCS) is a tri-service supported event with technical program lead advisory rotating among the services. The U.S. Navy will provide lead technical advisorship for the March 2025 event in its…
