AFRL, American Semiconductor create flexible system-on-chip for ‘internet-of-things’
A collaboration between the Air Force Research Laboratory and American Semiconductor has produced a flexible silicon-on-polymer chip with more than 7,000 times the memory capability of any current flexible integrated circuit on the market today. The manufacturing takes advantage of flexible hybrid electronics, integrating traditional manufacturing techniques with 3D electronic printing to create thin, flexible semiconductors that can augment efforts in wearable technology, asset monitoring, logistics and more.

AFRL Tech Warrior instructors train scientists, engineers in practical warfighter skills
Tech Warrior participants practice dismounted operations during training week at the AFRL Tech Warrior 2017 event. Tech Warrior participants undergo a week of classroom and practical field training activities designed to provide a fundamental understanding of different missions and tactics for battlefield success. The participants, most of whom are scientists and engineers at AFRL, gain a firsthand understanding of the rigorous training and stresses airmen experience in the operational field to enable them to return to the lab to create better technologies for the warfighter.

AFRL researchers ‘twist’ yarns for electrical energy, power
Scientists at the Air Force Research Laboratory are exploring the use of carbon nanotube-based twistron yarns for energy generation. This twistron yarn image, captured by x-Ray tomography, is a 3-D rendering of the coiled nanotube fibers and provides information on the structures, defects and interfaces internal to the fibers at the nanoscale. By examining the twistron yarns at the micro-level, researchers hope to better understand the dynamic process of energy generation by the yarns under deformation. (U.S. Air Force photo/Matt Lucas)
