Johns Hopkins APL celebrated staff members’ initiatives and accomplishments during the 2022 APL Achievement Awards ceremony. The event recognized 178 staff members as part of 29 winning entries.

APL researchers earned two first-place awards and one second-place award in an additive manufacturing modeling challenge led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Building on rapid genomics capabilities developed to respond to outbreaks and pandemics like COVID-19, a team of APL researchers ventured to Monterey Bay and the Arctic to characterize the underwater world.

APL researchers have captured two 2022 R&D 100 Awards for their work on a comprehensive and automated cyber defense capability, known as More Situational Awareness for Industrial Control Systems (MOSAICS), and the Airborne Collision Avoidance System for Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (ACAS sXu).

The two APL staff members who are among this year’s recipients of Johns Hopkins Diversity Recognition Awards have more in common than their new honors: Both are driven by their unique backgrounds and a passion for service.

Using some of the world’s most powerful telescopes, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) investigation team confirmed the orbit of Dimorphos around its parent asteroid, Didymos, and its expected location when the DART spacecraft impacts the moonlet next month.

Three staff members at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, are among 163 early-career researchers selected as Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Risers for 2022.

A new study using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and that involved researchers from Johns Hopkins APL reports the detection of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a planet from another planetary system. The discovery underscores Webb’s impressive capabilities and promises exciting results when researchers later peer at smaller rocky planets across the galaxy.

Four teams featuring APL investigators have earned Johns Hopkins Discovery Awards. Covering work in areas ranging from sustainable materials to social sciences to artificial intelligence, the research awards encourage cross-university collaborations that promise high-quality and impactful results.
