NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is dazzling scientists yet again, this time not with stunning images of the cosmos but instead with the first comprehensive list of molecular ingredients in the atmosphere of a planet roughly 700 light-years away.

APL has released a Cislunar Security National Technical Vision with recommendations for policy and technology development to enable safety and stability in the cislunar region.

As space becomes increasingly easy to access through the proliferation of commercial launch vehicles, cislunar space and the lunar surface are poised to become the world’s next great frontier. Two APL teams are exploring the strategy, policy and technology needed to promote peaceful, collaborative use of this region in the years to come.

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the transportation sector accounts for approximately 27% of all greenhouse gas emissions annually in the United States, and emissions from road transportation — driven by carbon-creating internal combustion vehicles — account for a large majority of that.

APL joins a University of Louisville-led team developing neuromodulation therapies for spinal cord injuries as part of a National Institutes of Health grant.

Porche will leverage more than 30 years of leadership and engineering expertise to guide experts as they combines innovative technical knowledge and operational analysis to create emerging capability solutions to national security challenges.

The Environmental Protection Agency recently declared PFAS an urgent public health and environmental issue facing communities across the United States. APL scientists are developing technologies to capture and destroy these harmful “forever chemicals.”

Johns Hopkins APL is teaming up with the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies to provide professional development training and state-of-the-art facilities for top U.S. Space Force leadership candidates

APL has named Ann Kedia chief communications officer and head of the Laboratory’s Communications Department, a team of professionals dedicated to conveying and elevating the impact of APL innovations on the nation and the world.
