NRL Receives US Patent for Carbon Capture Device: A Key Step in Synthetic Fuel Production from Seawater
October 3, 2017 — The world’s oceans cover approximately 70 percent of Earth’s surface and contain roughly 93 percent of the planet’s carbon dioxide (CO2). With around 38,000 gigatons (Gt) of carbon, our world’s oceans contain 16 times as much carbon as that found on land or in the atmosphere combined... MORE

The Great Years of Rath -- Materials Science & Component Technology Head Concludes 41-year Career at NRL
September 26, 2017 — Walk into Dr. Bhakta B. Rath’s office on a mid-August morning, and he welcomes you with a warm hello and handshake before settling in behind a desk piled unreasonably high with countless stacks of folders, documents, DoD correspondence and other paperwork requiring the attention of a man who leads more than 750 researchers and manages a $260 million budget...

NRL Brightens Perspective of Mysterious Mini-Halos
August 3, 2017 — The largest gravitationally bound objects in the universe are galaxy clusters that form at the intersection of cosmic web filaments. These entities are shaped and grow through massive collisions as material streams into their gravitational pull. Within the heart of some galaxy clusters are mysterious and little known radio mini-halos. These rare, dispersed, and steep-spectrum (brighter at low frequencies) radio sources surround a bright central radio galaxy and are highly luminous at radio wavelengths... MORE

New Phase Change Mechanism Could Lead to New Class of Chemical Vapor Sensors
July 24, 2017 — An interdisciplinary team of scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) demonstrated that monolayer 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) — atomically thin semiconductors — undergo a change from semiconductor-to-metallic phase when exposed to airborne chemical vapors...

NRL-developed Topcoat Applied on Entire Freeboard of Navy Ship
July 17, 2017 — Recently, a novel coating developed by researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) for the exterior topsides of Navy surface ships went beyond small area testing to covering the entire freeboard of an amphibious assault ship... MORE

NRL Scientists Find High Prevalence of Antibiotic Resistance in Kenya
July 11, 2017 — Antibiotic resistance is one of the most significant global public health problems and is rising in many developing nations due to over-use of antimicrobial agents, widespread availability of counterfeit or substandard medicines and poor infection control measures... MORE
