Scientists, mathematicians and engineers at APL are building a new cybersecurity paradigm that’s suited to the realities of how computing and collaborating are done in the 21st century. Their work has applications in health care, weapons systems and space, as well as in protecting critical infrastructure and industry generally.

Moving across the country at 19 years old is no small feat, but Anika Mistry, who interned at Johns Hopkins APL last summer, was up for the challenge.

APL researchers have given aerobatic fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) the ability to autonomously navigate complex environments using onboard sensing, a first-of-its-kind achievement.

A team at APL recently studied the potential impact of climate change on communications and remote sensing systems like radars, and determined that severe changes in Earth’s climate would likely affect these technologies — in some cases for better, in others for worse.

Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals, a collaboration between APL and the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering (WSE), has launched one of the only fully online Robotics and Autonomous Systems master’s programs in the nation, offered within WSE’s Engineering for Professionals program.

Since NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft intentionally slammed into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos on Sept.

Phil Larson has been named as the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory’s chief government relations officer, effective Oct.

The eruption of the mostly submerged Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano on Jan. 15, 2022, was among the most powerful in the modern era, creating a massive planet-sized shockwave that reverberated around the globe for days. A new Johns Hopkins APL study shows for the first time that the explosion also blasted water vapor past the boundary of outer space.

For the fifth consecutive year, the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, has earned a leading place among Computerworld’s 2023 Best Places to Work in IT.
