JSHS #3

Female high school students edged out their male counterparts at the 47th National Junior Sciences Humanities and Symposium (JSHS), a four-day science research competition sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), the Army Research Office (ARO), and the Office of Naval Research (ONR) held at the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA). Of the six first-place winners, four girls took home the top prize in their respective research categories. (U.S. Air Force photo/USAFA)

Air Force Funds New Generation of Energy Efficient UAVs

With AFOSR funding, a team from the University of Michigan is working on a project to integrate solar power cheaply and easily into the base materials used to build UAVs. The team is pictured above posing around a customized reel-to-reel coating apparatus they developed for making large quantities of fiber-based energy conversion devices.
