Job shadow program inspires next generation of innovators
Area high school students (from left) Rosemary Wildermuth and Darryl Bronner learned about electrical connectors from Dan O'Brien, a technician on loan from the University of Dayton Research Institute to the Electrical Failure Analysis team at the Air Force Research Laboratory Materials Integrity Branch during a job Shadow Day at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, Oct. 27, 2017. The bi-annual event, put on by the Air Force Research Laboratory's Educational Outreach Office, is designed for students to experience on the job real-life experiences, and allow them to explore a lot of potential career field opportunities.

AFRL developing AgilePod ‘family’ to augment sensing grid
The AgilePod, the first physical system to be trademarked by the Air Force, is a multi-intelligence, open architecture, flight-line reconfigurable pod designed for the intelligence community. A new effort to develop a suite of platform-agnostic AgilePods in various sizes is currently in progress, teaming AFRL with industry partners. (U.S. Air Force photo/David Dixon)
AFRL volunteers growing a LEGACY in materials science
LEGACY (Leadership Experience Growing Apprenticeships Committed to Youth) students toured the AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate labs as part of the program’s Craftsman camp events. Directorate volunteers participated in the camps this summer to promote youth interest in STEM-related fields. (U.S. Air Force photo/Marisa Alia-Novobilski)
AFRL, Harvard researchers invent new method of hybrid 3-D printing for flexible electronics
A technique called Hybrid 3D Printing, developed by AFRL researchers in collaboration with the Wyss Institute at Harvard University, uses additive manufacturing to integrate soft, conductive inks with material substrates to create stretchable electronic devices. To create these, a 3-D printer prints conductive traces of flexible, silver-infused thermoplastic polyurethane. Then, a pick-and-place method using empty printer nozzles and a vacuum system sets microcontroller chips and LED lights into the flexible substrate. (Courtesy photo/Harvard Wyss Institute)

Small antennas could bring big benefits to the Air Force
Researchers from the AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, along with Northeastern University, developed an ultra-compact antenna smaller than a flea. This innovation could help miniaturize or add greater functionality to many devices used by the warfighter. (U.S. Air Force photo/Michael McConney)

Tech Warrior 2017
FAIRBORN, Ohio – Kevin McAllister, a civilian with the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, fires an M-240 machine gun from the turret of an HUMVEE during a combat scenario at the Tech Warrior 2017 exercise at the National Center for Medical Readiness here Sept. 26, 2017. The annual exercise gives scientists and technicians an insight into what conditions their technology may encounter out in the field as well as letting warriors give real-time feedback on how well a new technology performs.
