The image on the left shows an atomic force microscope measurement of the normal and lateral forces between a nanosized untreated silicon tip and three different flat solid surfaces in deionized water. Also shown is a scanning electron microscopy image of the tip apex. The graphic on the right depicts an atomic configuration illustrating the molecular-dynamics simulation model.

Aircraft firefighting reaches new level
Engineers demonstrate the penetrator nozzle on the new 65 foot High Reach Extendable Turret installed on the FAA Striker fire fighting vehicle to simulate fighting a fire on the new large aircraft mockup at Tyndall Air Force Base. Air Force Research Laboratory, working with the FAA, developed the mockup to research firefighting and rescue techniques in today's larger, multi-deck aircraft. (U.S. Air Force)

Blast effects on concrete studied
Blast pressure hitting these pre-cast concrete wall panels creates water vapor clouds that evaporate a couple milliseconds later. Air Force Research Laboratory's Materials and Manufacturing Directorate is engaged in a cooperative research effort at Tyndall Air Force Base to determine blast resistance of insulated concrete products.

AFRL engineers lighting the way
Engineers at the Air Force Research Laboratory's Human Effectivness Directorate have developed a portable airfield lighting system using light emitting diodes rather than conventional incandescent bulbs. The dual-mode runway edge lights can be switched from visible to infrared light, (Graphic by Gary A. Rankin AFRL/HEC)
