AFRL researcher achieves society honor
Dr. Sheldon (Lee) Semiatin, senior scientist, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, uses a Gleeble machine for thermomechanical processing of aerospace alloys. This machine aids projects that require solid state joining of nickel-based superalloys.
AFRL researchers improve production of thin, efficient solar cells
The AFRL research team of Dr. Santanu Bag and Dr. Michael Durstock developed a process to create thin, more-efficient, and defect-free transparent solar cells that could open up new possibilities for wearable electronics and other power applications. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Holly Jordan)
AFRL researchers improve production of thin, efficient solar cells
Dr. Santanu Bag holds a thin-film perovskite solar cell developed by the AFRL research team. These transparent and more-efficient solar cells could play an integral role next-generation Air Force power applications. (U.S. Air Force Photo/David Dixon)
AFRL program turns junior workforce into rapid innovators
1st Lt. Stuart Baker demonstrates the portability of the JFWORX-developed Roco Atlas Casualty Carrier. This strong and lightweight tactical ladder can also function as bridge between structures and as a stretcher to transport injured personnel. (U.S. Air Force photo/Holly Jordan)
AFRL Senior Scientist Emeritus elected to National Academy
The Air Force Research Laboratory’s Dr. Sheldon (Lee) Semiatin handles metal samples in the Experimental Materials Processing Laboratory. It serves as both a state-of-the-art laboratory for basic and applied research as well as a test bed for new materials and processes developed in conjunction with partners in the Air Force supply chain.

AFRL-led aircraft coating project awarded as top-100 innovative technology
Test specimens are prepared for coating with the Aerocron® 2100 Electrocoat Primer during a recent demonstration at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. This water-based, chrome-free primer offers protection comparable to chrome-based coatings, while curing at a lower temperature than conventional automotive and industrial Electrocoats, making it possible to electrocoat aluminum alloys without affecting their physical properties.
