Bold ideas change the game. AFOSR supports the visionaries who bring the future faster. In 1975, AFOSR recognized the potential of Professor John Fenn’s pioneering work in mass spectrometry. His revolutionary technique transformed how scientists analyze biomolecules, paving the way for breakthroughs in materials science and biological and chemical defense. Professor Fenn's discoveries earned him The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2002. His work plays a vital role in supporting the safety and effectiveness of warfighters by: -Identifying chemical and biological agents -Analyzing explosives -Supporting medical care At AFOSR, we’re proud to fuel the high-quality, high-impact research of visionaries who redefine what's possible. Could your research be next? #PartnerWithAFRL #AFOSR #BasicResearch

Bold ideas change the game! The Air Force is funding high-impact research in Aerodynamic Sciences to bring the future of air and space power faster. This week’s featured program is Aerodynamic Sciences, led by Dr. Gregg Abate. Research in this portfolio seeks to understand how air flows around objects, especially when the flow is turbulent or changing to develop better ways to predict and control air flow and design more efficient and effective aircraft and other vehicles. Your innovative research could lead to the next scientific breakthrough. Ready to make an impact? #PartnerWithAFRL #WinningAtSpeed

Enhancing Warfighter Readiness Through Gut Health Research AFOSR-funded researcher Dr. John Cryan, a neuroscientist at University College Cork, is at the forefront of this groundbreaking research. His work, featured in the recent documentary "Hack Your Health: Secrets of the Gut," reveals how gut health directly impacts cognitive function, stress response, and resilience – all critical for mission success. Dr. Cryan’s work could lead to interventions that enhance focus, stress response, and overall performance in high-stakes military environments. #PartnerWithAFRL #BasicResearch #Warfighter #Resilience #NationalDefense

Microchips are the backbone of modern wireless technology, but designing them is a complex, expensive process—until now. Researchers at Princeton Engineering and their academic partners have developed an AI-driven system that can design sophisticated microchips in hours instead of weeks. 📡 Why does this matter? AI-generated designs are often completely unintuitive—creating novel, high-performance circuitry that surpasses even the best human-made designs. This breakthrough could dramatically accelerate the development of next-gen wireless technology, opening doors for faster speeds, greater efficiency, and entirely new functionalities in GHz-THz electronics. 🎯 The Future of AI in Microelectronics This research, led by Professor Kaushik Sengupta and supported by AFOSR Program Officer Dr. Kenneth Goretta, highlights the power of basic research in shaping the future of defense, communications, and beyond. #PartnerWithAFRL #AFOSR #BasicResearch #WirelessTechnology #AIInnovation
