AFRL researchers contribute to prestigious scientific journal ACS Nano

The image depicts a novel precision patterning method using the United States Department of the Air Force emblem on monolayer MoSe2, a two-dimensional material made of atomic layers. Air Force Research Laboratory, or AFRL, researchers from the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate contributed this work to the February 2023 ACS Nano publication “Precision Modification of Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides via Environmental E‑Beam Patterning.” The publication introduced an innovative process of altering and tailoring the optoelectronic properties of transition metal dichalcogenides, or TMDs. Researchers can control and manipulate the atomic properties of these materials to draw lines, shapes and desired patterns to demonstrate how the material’s thermal and optical properties can be manipulated for sensing and other technologies.

AFRL holds 10th annual Space Domain Awareness Leadership Workshop

The Air Force Maui Optical and Supercomputing site, or AMOS, Maui Space Surveillance Complex, or MSSC, sits on the summit of Haleakala on the island of Maui, Hawaii. The MSSC, operated under the 15th Space Surveillance Squadron, hosts several Department of the Air Force space domain awareness, or SDA, sensors. The site’s 3.6-meter telescope, seen in the image projecting a sodium guidestar beam, is the largest optical telescope in the Department of Defense. This telescope and the site’s other smaller telescope systems support the U.S. Space Force’s SDA mission. The AMOS site operates experimental research and development systems under the Air Force Research Laboratory. (U.S. Air Force photo / Dr. Robert Q. Fugate)
