APL is fusing its analytic and cutting-edge AI capabilities into a forward-leaning incubator, known as GenWar Lab, that ...

In person, SMART Nav doesn’t look like much. It’s in a metal square that’s laced into a web of soldered wires, resistors and diodes on a circuit board. In fact, technologically speaking, it’s a ...

The Intelligent Systems Center (ISC) leverages APL’s broad expertise across national security, space exploration, and health to fundamentally advance the use of intelligent systems for our nation’s ...

Controlling a computer with your mind was once pure science fiction, but it’s now plausible thanks to brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. Today’s BCI systems have achieved extraordinary ...

APL is recognized as a leader in mission design and navigation; instrument development; mechanical engineering; mechanical design, thermal, and instrument accommodation; communications hardware; ...

Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory Information and Research Services are available only to APL staff members via APL's intranet. Visit our internal library and research services web page if you ...

Among APL’s thousands of critical contributions to national security and space exploration are a number of defining innovations: game-changing breakthroughs in technology that have created inflection ...

Unlike Earth, the Moon doesn’t have a global magnetic field. Instead, it has local patches of magnetized crustal rocks, called “magnetic anomalies.” Lunar Vertex will be the first mission to find out ...

Dr. Rama Venkatasubramanian is the chief technologist for the thermoelectrics area in the Research and Exploratory Development Department and the team leader for energy and thermal management. He ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is dazzling scientists yet again, this time not with stunning images of the cosmos but instead with the first comprehensive list of molecular ingredients in the ...

The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, recently released the results of the nation’s first end-to-end Space Weather Tabletop Exercise (TTX), held in May 2024. The ...
