Boston ‘bluing’ trip highlights synthetic biology, biotechnology for AFRL team
Amber Gilbert (left) discusses biotechnology with the Ginkgo Bioworks foundry team during an Air Force Research Laboratory ‘bluing’ trip, April 24. The visit to the Ginkgo foundry exposed the AFRL researchers to state-of-the-art biotechnology that enables large scale biological engineering and biomaterial design. The diversity of the bluing tour stops, including the visit to Ginkgo, spanned military research, academia and industry, and provided an interesting perspective on the broad intersections between ongoing research efforts in DoD and the wider biotechnology domain.

AFRL researchers innovate, ‘sprint’ to create waterproof rescue duffel
U.S. Air Force Capt. Jason Goins leads the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Junior Force Warfighters Operations in RX (JFWORX) team during a Design Sprint to create a waterproof medical bag for the National Guard’s 103rd Guardian Angel Personnel Recovery Unit. The Design Sprint, developed by Google, takes a unique approach to business problems by compressing the product development cycle into a five-day process that results in a realistic prototype to meet a business need.

AFRL-led patches make ‘sense’ of sweat
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado - A field tester at the U.S. Air Force Academy wears an Air Force Research Laboratory-developed sweat sensor during a ruck march as part of field testing of the AFRL-industry collaborative product. The next-generation wearable patch can measure select electrolyte levels present in human sweat and transmit this information wirelessly for scientific analysis. The patches will augment research on hydration with the goal of improving human performance in heat or high-stress conditions. (Courtesy photo/GE Global Research)
AFRL-led patches make ‘sense’ of sweat
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio - A collaborative effort between the Air Force Research Laboratory and industry partners through the Nano-Bio Manufacturing Consortium has led to the development of next-generation wearable patches that can detect electrolyte levels present in human sweat. Using novel AFRL-developed sensor materials and microfluidic technology, the patches can measure sodium and potassium levels present in sweat and transmit this information wirelessly for scientific analysis. The patches will augment research on hydration with the goal of improving human performance in heat or high-stress conditions. (Courtesy photo/GE Global Research)
