A team of researchers from APL and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is developing next-generation brain organoid platforms to better understand the effects of mild blast-induced ...

Unlike Earth, the Moon doesn’t have a global magnetic field. Instead, it has local patches of magnetized crustal rocks, called “magnetic anomalies.” Lunar Vertex will be the first mission to find out ...

As COVID-19 cases multiplied in early 2020, so too did the number of users turning to the Johns Hopkins University dashboard, which tracked global cases of COVID-19 in real time and quickly became the ...

Five years ago today, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft — designed, built and operated by Johns Hopkins APL — conducted the first close-up exploration of Pluto. Since then, scientists have uncovered ...

NASA’s Dragonfly mission team is moving on to the next stage of development on the revolutionary, car-sized nuclear-powered drone it plans to fly over and land on the organic-rich sands of Saturn’s ...

Researchers from Johns Hopkins APL and the Johns Hopkins Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences are developing a modeling tool to predict climate “tipping points,” critical thresholds that, when ...

Brendan Croom, a senior materials scientist at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, is pictured in APL’s X-ray Computed Tomography Laboratory, where high-resolution imaging helps researchers ...

Artist’s impression of the Lunar Vertex rover on the surface of the Moon. Equipped with a magnetometer and microscopic camera, the solar-powered rover will leave the Lunar Vertex lander to explore up ...

NASA’s Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE), scheduled to launch in late 2024, will image the magnetic fingerprint of the electrical currents that flow in the upper atmosphere and between Earth ...

By leveraging cutting-edge additive manufacturing techniques and shape memory alloys, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, have created an antenna ...

The great irony of nonstick coatings is that they actually do stick around — forever. Now, scientists at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, have devised a unique ...

NASA’s Dragonfly mission to Saturn’s moon Titan has been confirmed, enabling the mission to progress through its final design and eventual construction and testing. The game-changing mission, equipped ...
