Researchers from the U.S. Army and top universities discovered a new way to get more energy out of energetic materials containing aluminum, common in battlefield systems, by igniting aluminum micron powders coated with graphene oxide. This discovery coincides with the one of the Army’s modernization priorities: Long Range Precision Fires. This research could lead to…
Commandeering Microbes Pave Way for Synthetic Biology in Military Environments
A team of scientists from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed and demonstrated a pioneering synthetic biology tool to deliver DNA programming into a broad range of bacteria. This research was recently published in the journal Nature Microbiology, and was featured as the cover of the September 2018…
