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)

Staff Sgt. Joshua Modlin, assistant noncommissioned officer in charge of the 88th Security Forces Squadron's Electronic Security Systems (ESS), works with Joe Andrews of M.C. Dean, Inc. to establish a configuration baseline by ensuring the more than 16,000 ESS assets throughout Wright- Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio are accurately identified, Sept. 20, 2017. Andrews helped to develop the Infrastructure Maintenance Management System (IMMS) being implemented throughout the Air Force to not only track maintenance of critical ESS infrastructure, but also help to identify trending problems and develop improvements that can be implemented enterprise wide. Andrews is part of the BCF Solutions team taking over the maintenance and management of Wright-Patt's ESS Oct. 1. (U.S. Air Force photo/Jim Varhegyi)
AFRL to host Tech Warrior 2017 exercise

AFRL researchers ‘twist’ yarns for electrical energy, power
Scientists at the Air Force Research Laboratory are exploring the use of carbon nanotube-based twistron yarns for energy generation. This twistron yarn image, captured by x-Ray tomography, is a 3-D rendering of the coiled nanotube fibers and provides information on the structures, defects and interfaces internal to the fibers at the nanoscale. By examining the twistron yarns at the micro-level, researchers hope to better understand the dynamic process of energy generation by the yarns under deformation. (U.S. Air Force photo/Matt Lucas)
