Deshna Naruka is a dual computer science and engineering major at the University of Florida who's lending her expertise as an intern on our Autonomous Capabilities Team, or ACT3! Her current work involves researching how AI models learn so they can apply key takeaways to better understand our own mind. This exciting work stemmed from her time with AFRL's Wright Scholars Research Assistance Program and their pointing her towards the ACT3 group. When asked what advice she has for students interested in working with AI systems: "I would advise peers or fellow students to reach out directly to mentors for ways to get involved with Al research, and find ways to network with others. Those connections can be the biggest driving factor for future opportunities." #AFResearchLab | #AFRLInterns | #STEMInterns | #AI | #ArtifiicalIntelligence | #Internships

"Fanning" over AFRL's Art of Science: MXene Nanotechnology Meets Artistic Beauty At the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), our mission is to lead the discovery, development, and integration of warfighting technologies for our air, space, and cyberspace forces. Today, we're proud to showcase our basic research arm, Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), and this submission from their Art Of Science Showcase. Presenting: "MXene Jeobeon Fan" by Marley Downs, Drexel University This captivating scanning electron microscopy image, produced through AFOSR-funded research, reveals a Ti3C2Tx MXene particle that uncannily resembles a traditional Korean folding fan (Jeobeon). The surrounding smaller particles evoke cherry blossom petals, bridging cultures and disciplines in a single frame. Key Points: Cutting-edge Materials: MXenes are a class of two-dimensional materials with extraordinary properties, holding immense potential for aerospace and defense applications. Global Collaboration: This research, conducted between Drexel University and KAIST/NNFC in South Korea, exemplifies AFRL's commitment to fostering international scientific partnerships. Interdisciplinary Impact: By merging materials science with artistic visualization, we're opening new avenues for public engagement with critical defense research. Potential Applications: Advanced Energy Storage Systems Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Lightweight Structural Materials for Aerospace Next-generation Sensors and Communication Devices As we continue to push the boundaries of science and technology for national defense, we're reminded that innovation often reveals unexpected beauty. This image not only represents groundbreaking research but also serves as a testament to the creativity and vision of our scientists and partners. We invite our fellow researchers, industry partners, and STEM advocates to share their thoughts: How can we further leverage the visual appeal of scientific imagery to inspire the next generation of STEM professionals? What other areas of aerospace and defense research might yield similarly striking visuals? Let's discuss the intersection of science, art, and innovation in the comments below. #AFResearchLab #AFOSR #BasicResearch #AFOSRBoldResearch #AFRLScience #Nanotechnology #AerospaceEngineering #MaterialsScience #STEM #DefenseInnovation
