AFRL researchers contribute to prestigious scientific journal ACS Nano

The graphic illustrates how the high-energy electron beam from a scanning electron microscope is used to functionalize transition metal dichalcogenides, or TMDs. 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.” TMDs are a specific class of two-dimensional layered materials essential for the development of emerging sensing and electronic technologies for the Department of the Air Force and commercial market. The example shows hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms as they are added to TMD atomic layers consisting of sulfur (S), selenium (Se), Molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W) to functionalize them. The electron beam removes atoms from the TMD, causing a chemical reaction that emits light and heat which can be harnessed for use in sensing and other technologies. (U.S. Air Force graphic)

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.

US Air Force recognizes AFRL researchers

Dr. Preston T. Webster, left, and Dr. Andrew J. "AJ" Metcalf, right, are the U.S. Air Force nominees to the 74th Annual Arthur S. Flemming Award. Webster leads an Air Force Research Laboratory team that develops novel space sensor technologies for the nation’s infrared surveillance, missile warning and tracking, weather monitoring and other various systems. Metcalf serves as the Air Force Research Laboratory space mission area lead in the Office of the Deputy Technology Executive Officer for Space Science and Technology. Flemming Award winners will be announced in June 2023 at a ceremony to be held at George Washington University in Washington D.C. (U.S. Air Force photo).

Aerospace medicine program fills needed flight surgeon positions

Col. Paul DeFlorio flying in an F-15 Strike Eagle above the Gulf of Aden, July 26, 2012. DeFlorio is the director of the Operational Graduate Medicine Education, or OGME, program where students are awarded flight surgeon wings and become rated aviators upon completion. The OGME program establishes a training pipeline that prepares and fields new flight doctors to support U.S. Air Force and Joint operations across the globe. (U.S. Air Force photo / Col.
