Creating Coatings for Extreme Environments: From Solar Shields to Hypersonic Leading Edges

APL researchers are developing coatings that can stand up to the rigors of hypersonic flight in the upper atmosphere. The work leverages APL's ability to produce custom materials solutions to solve hard problems that stand between success and failure on real missions.

Signs of Success: At Mission's Midpoint, Parker Solar Probe Marks Amazing Achievements

Nearly four years after launch, Parker Solar Probe has made significant inroads toward achieving its main science goals — and it continues to break records and capture first-of-its-kind measurements of the Sun.

With Project Wonder, Johns Hopkins Medicine and APL Seek to Generate Discoveries From Data

Wonder is, by its very nature, impossible to quantify. But, convinced of the fundamental role of wonder in the scientific enterprise, a team from Johns Hopkins Medicine and APL is leveraging the power of data to foster wonder, inspire novel insights and push the frontiers of precision medicine.

REACTOR Prototype Brings XR Collaboration Capabilities

Engineers at APL are addressing the challenges of collaborating across wide physical distances by taking advantage of new technologies, designing and implementing the Mixed Reality Collaboration Environment framework, or REACTOR. This unique system allows subject-matter experts and analysts to interact and collaborate globally, with no externally hosted servers and with the capability to customize the approach to the user’s needs.

2022 XR Symposium

July 27-28, 2022 • Kossiakoff Conference Center

Sponsored by APL’s XR Collaboration Center, the third annual XR Symposium will feature APL work that leverages virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) technologies — collectively known as “extended reality” (XR) — to extend the technical capabilities of APL, as well as its sponsors and collaborators. 

A Striking Pose: Sivels Statue Graces National Mall

Ciara Sivels, a nuclear engineer in APL’s Air and Missile Defense Sector, was one of 120 women in STEM honored with a statue of herself on the National Mall, part of the #IfThenSheCan exhibit, the centerpiece of the Smithsonian’s Women’s Futures Month.
