The mother of all traffic jams could be on the horizon, and researchers at APL are working to create a crossing guard that’s up to the challenge.

The Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute honored APL researcher Parvathy Prem with the Susan Mahan Niebur Early Career Award, recognizing her contributions to space science and exploration.

NASA has given Princeton University, Johns Hopkins APL and their many partner institutions the go-ahead to begin implementing the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP), a mission to sample, analyze and map particles streaming to Earth from the edges of interstellar space.

The DART spacecraft's recently installed Roll-Out Solar Arrays and DRACO imager are two critical technologies that will enable the spacecraft to navigate through space and effectively reach the Didymos system as part of a carefully planned asteroid deflection experiment.

APL planetary scientist Elizabeth “Zibi” Turtle has been awarded the inaugural Claudia J. Alexander Prize by the American Astronomical Society’s Division for Planetary Sciences.

Key elements of the Europa Clipper spacecraft — which Johns Hopkins APL is developing in partnership with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory — are coming together in clean rooms across the country.

For the third consecutive year, APL secured a spot on Fast Company's Best Workplaces for Innovators list, joining businesses and organizations around the globe honored for demonstrating a deep commitment to encouraging innovation at all levels.

Johns Hopkins APL researchers set out to better understand the influence of different defects on the mechanical performance of additively manufactured materials. In a recent journal article, they provide data to help understand the effects of defects and enable decision-making.

An expanded collaboration between APL and the Amazon Web Services' Open Data Sponsorship Program will further enable the storage and accessibility of ever-expanding neuroimaging datasets generated by the neuroscience research community.
