The money will help fund the formal establishment of the college's Center for Microplasma Science and Technology. (Credit: St. Peter's College, Jersey City, N.J.)
AFOSR Moth Eyes
Researchers at National Taiwan University are expanding on the anti-reflective properties of moth eyes to make better protective skins for U.S. Air Force unmanned aerial vehicles. With funding from the Asian Office of Aerospace Research and Development (AOARD) — an international detachment of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research — Prof. Li-Chyong Chen has produced an anti-reflective nanostructure surface using arrayed silicon nanotips.(Photo Credit: Li-Chyong Chen, National National Taiwan University)
AFOSR MC Science Watch Highlights Article of AFOSR-Supported Physicist
AFOSR-supported physicist Dr. Emil Wolf 's article, "Unified Theory of Coherence and Polarizaiton of Random Electromagnetic Beams" is highlighted in the April 2009 issue of "Science Watch."
AFOSR MC Air Force Supports Sugar-to-Hydrogen Research
If Zhang and his team are successful with their research, they will help to decrease greenhouse gas emissions by producing hydrogen from biomass sugar and at the same time increase energy utilization efficiency. (Credit: Dr. Percival Zhang, Virginia Tech)
AFOSR MC Communication Earplug Offers Hearing Protection to Pilots
AFOSR-sponsored research has led to a communication earplug that revolutionizes hearing protection for Air Force pilots and flight crews and could substantially reduce hearing loss and improve radio communication. (Credit:Sound Innovations, Inc.)

Micci
Air Force-supported Microwave Electrothermal Thruster (MET) research that began at Pennsylvania State University may lead to higher performing miniaturized electric propulsion systems for satellites. This would mean improved satellite maneuverability, endurance, fabrication and testing of a space flight ready microwave thruster system. Credit: Frederic Souliez, Penn State University.
Wolf
Renowned physical optics author and AFOSR-supported researcher, Dr. Emil Wolf, received the 2008 Joseph W. Goodman Award for his book, “Introduction to the Theory of Coherence and Polarization of Light,” which set a precedent by providing a unified treatment of coherence and polarization.

Bat-Inspired Flight for MAVs
As part of the 2007 MURI program, researchers from several universities are studying how the biological attributes of flapping and flexible flight demonstrated by birds, bats and insects can improve future MAV systems. This research has led to the creation of engineering models, such as the one illustrated in this graphic. (Image credit: Dr. Wei Shyy, University of Michigan)
