Materials and Manufacturing Directorate hosts DARPA leadership
Dr. Lawrence Drummy, a material scientist is the Functional Materials Division, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, Air Force Research Lab (left) provides an overview of current research in Nano Tomography for Dr. Stephanie Tompkins, Director, Defense Sciences Office, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, during a visit to AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, Aug. 11. During her visit, Tompkins was briefed on current research trends and activity in Nano tomography, materials characterization, additive manufacturing and the benefits of real-time analytics in development of technology for today’s warfighter. As the director of DSO, Tompkins maintains a strong interest in cutting-edge research that can accelerate the development of new technologies for national security.

Air Force lab investigating microscopic crack formation for aircraft
Dr. Adam Pilchak, materials research engineer at the Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, loads a piece of a fractured titanium disk into a scanning electron microscope. By looking at the microscopic features on the fracture surface, researchers are able to determine how the crack initiated and spreads through the component to cause the failure.

Environmental sensing platform offers added protection against corrosion
The Air Force Research Laboratory is developing and testing a device that can measure environmental factors such as pollutants, salt, and moisture in order to predict corrosive conditions before they can start causing damage to valuable assets. (U.S. Air Force photo/Matthew Hartshorne)
AFRL academic research partnership to investigate operational stressors on Airmen
Air Force Research Laboratory scientist Dr. Saber Hussain views particle interaction with cultured cells. His work on the development of a model to identify the impact of stressors on Airmen is at the center of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement that will establish a new laboratory facility at Wright State University.
