AFRL’s Computed Tomography lab enhances efficiency with state-of-the-art infrastructure improvements, imaging capability

Air Force Research Laboratory, or AFRL, Commander Maj. Gen. Heather Pringle, left, surveys the newly-renovated Computed Tomography Laboratory, Nov. 9, 2022, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, while John Brausch, center, Ryan Mooers and Steve Thompson, far right, welcome Pringle to the facility. The lab, part of AFRL’s Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, supports non-destructive testing of 3D-printed materials for the Department of Defense’s internal and external customer base.

Nicholas Glavin, John L. McLucas Basic Research Award Recipient – Honorable Mention winner

Nicholas Glavin, a senior materials scientist, with the Air Force Research Lab’s Materials and Manufacturing Directorate at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, uses AFRL’s custom magnetron sputtering system to fabricate and design new nanomaterials for Air Force applications Nov. 2, 2021. The system is capable of synthesizing materials down to the thickness of only a few atoms, where at that length scale, new and exciting properties emerge for future electronics and sensors. Glavin received the John L. McLucas Basic Research Award – Honorable Mention, as part of the 2021 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) awards announcement. He has been working with a team exploring the fundamental science behind two-dimensional materials.

Testing done at Wright-Patterson made Perseverance and the search for life on Mars possible

This image taken by NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance shows tracks from the rover’s first drive. It also shows an area that was scoured clean by the craft’s descent stage rockets — the lighter-colored area shown near the center-top. Testing done at AFRL’s Materials and Manufacturing ensured the landing craft’s protective coating would survive being blasted by that debris. (Photo courtesy of NASA)
