Johns Hopkins APL Plays Key Role in Japan Missile Defense Flight Test Success

APL — in cooperation with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and the United States Missile Defense Agency — played a key role in live-fire intercept demonstrations of the Standard Missile-2 (SM-2) and SM-3 guided missiles.

Artificial Intelligence Used to Discover Novel Superconductor

A multidisciplinary team at APL has discovered a novel superconductor using artificial intelligence (AI). The key to this breakthrough came through combining materials science expertise and real data into a predictive AI model, which vastly accelerates the timeline of targeted materials discovery.

First SURPASS Teams Set to Tackle Tough Societal Challenges

The SURPASS program forged between APL and the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering seeks cutting-edge ideas that “go beyond the possible” — across domains from brain activity monitoring to synthetic biological AI to near-space flight.

APL’s Out-of-Band Communications Technology Receives Boost From Department of Homeland Security

A novel communications technology developed at APL geared toward providing secure access to networks facing outages or under cyberattack has earned funding from a federal program intended to foster innovation and accelerate commercialization.

Fast Company Names Two APL Innovations as ‘World Changing Ideas’

Two technology breakthroughs developed by APL were honored with Fast Company magazine’s 2023 World Changing Idea awards. The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), which was designed for NASA by APL, was named the winner in the experimental category, while the Lab’s PFAS filtration and destruction methodology was recognized as one of nine finalists in the water category.

Research Frontiers Forum

June 8, 2023 • Johns Hopkins APL

The Research Frontiers Forum will be held at APL on June 8, with a goal of aligning on national security priorities, identifying the major gaps threatening progress and exploring the frontiers of potentially game-changing research. Attendees will join a conversation featuring a range of perspectives on climate science, technology application and policy, followed by an exploration of a brighter, climate-secure future through cutting-edge research demonstrations.

APL’s DART Lead Ed Reynolds Named One of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People

Ed Reynolds, a program manager in APL’s Space Exploration Sector, has been named to the 2023 TIME 100 list of most influential people. Each year, Time selects artists, innovators, leaders, icons and pioneers from around the globe who are changing the world.
