Researchers at the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, have developed a novel, lightweight artificial hair sensor that mimics those used by natural fliers—like bats and crickets—by using carbon nanotube forests grown inside glass fiber capillaries. The hairs are sensitive to air flow changes during flight, enabling quick analysis and response by agile fliers. (Air Force courtesy photo).
Dr. Zachary Farrell, a research scientist with UES in the Nanoelectronics Branch of the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, examines liquid metal nanoparticles following ultra-sonication. Researchers here are exploring new potential applications for liquid metals by examining their microscopic properties. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Marisa Alia-Novobilski)
Scientists at the Air Force Research Laboratory are using the unique characteristic of liquid metal alloys to explore new ways to wire electronic systems. The unique properties of liquid metal alloys enable droplets to stack upon one another, unlike traditional liquids which flow into a singular shape. (Air Force courtesy photo)
The oxide skin on gallium-based liquid metals, shown here in suspension, give the materials the ability to hold a shape and to be reconfigured into new shapes that can maintain electrical conductivity. Scientists at the Air Force Research Laboratory have demonstrated the capacity for liquid metal alloys to be flowed through embedded material channels to create physically reconfigurable antennas and electronic circuits.

Embedded channel systems can be 3-D printed within an aerospace-grade structural composite in diverse shapes to flow liquid metal alloys to different positions, ultimately changing the function of embedded radio frequency antennas. (U.S. Air Force photo/Marisa Alia-Novobilski)
The team from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, poses with Maj. Gen. Robert D. McMurry, Air Force Research Laboratory commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Thomas Christopher, AFRL command chief, after being named the 2016 Air Force Research Laboratory Commanders Challenge co-winners at the awards banquet held in Las Vegas, N.V., Dec. 15, 2016. This year teams were given six months to develop a complete counter unmanned aerial system to aid in base defense. (U.S. Air Force photo by Wesley Farnsworth)
U.S. Air Force Second Lieutenant David Feibus, from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, talks with First Lieutenant Tyler Wallis, from Robins Air Force Base, Ga., prior to the team's initial safety briefing at the Nevada National Security Site, Las Vegas, NV., for the 2016 Air Force Research Laboratory Commanders Challenge Dec. 9, 2016. Teams from six bases were given the challenge of solving issues revolving around drones, and are demonstrating their solutions to judges. (U.S. Air Force photo by Wesley Farnsworth)

U.S. Capt. John Walton, 2016 Air Force Research Laboratory Commanders Challenge program execution officer, walks across the test range between scenarios at the Nevada National Security Site, Las Vegas, NV., Dec. 13, 2016. The challenge consisted of six teams who were given six-months to develop a complete counter unmanned aerial system to aid in base defense. (U.S. Air Force photo by Wesley Farnsworth)
Dr. Mark Benedict, a senior materials engineer and America Makes Chief Technology Adviser at the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Materials and Manufacturing Directorate discusses the potential for additive manufacturing of aircraft components in metal. The complex geometry of the rocket nozzle benefits from the use of additive manufacturing due to its complex, specialized design. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Marisa Alia-Novobilski)
Dr. Dan Berrigan points to an embedded antenna on an MQ-9 aircraft part made possible through functional applications of additive manufacturing. Flexible circuits, embedded antennas and sensors are just a few of the potential manufacturing capabilities his team is exploring using additive technology.
