Profile
As a U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) Energetics Center, the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) is a leader in the Navy's Energetics Enterprise. Its mission is to provide research, development, test and evaluation and in-service support of energetics and energetic materials for propulsion systems, ordnance & pyrotechnic devices and fuzing for Navy, Joint Forces, and the Nation. Capabilities include research, test, and engineering of chemicals, propellants, explosives, related electronic devices and associated ordnance equipment.
In short, the U.S. Navy and other Federal Government agencies and allied nations come to NSWC IHD for energetic systems solutions — the organization supports the warfighter of today, anticipates their future needs, and makes discoveries for the next generation.

'Cloning' could make structurally pure nanotubes for nanoelectronics
Researchers have demonstrated a technique for growing virtually pure samples of single-wall carbon nanotubes with identical structures, a process they liken to "cloning" the nanotubes.20 Nov 2012
Patent for new material with energy harvesting capabilities
Combining iron with gallium amplifies iron's magnetostrictive capability tenfold. Iron-gallium, or Galfenol, is ductile, stable over a wide temperature range and has energy-harvesting capabilities.8 Nov 2012
Progress in thermoelectric technology for the US Army
In one of its latest research projects, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory is investigating thermoelectric properties of materials on the Shadow Tactical Unmanned Aerial System, and techniques that could convert heat into energy.7 Nov 2012

Biocompatible electronics vanish when no longer needed
An interdisciplinary team of researchers from Northwestern University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Tufts University are the first to demonstrate "transient electronics" - which are electronics that gradually disappear on a specified schedule, whether it be a few days or six months.28 Sep 2012
Consolidation and growth in RTLS and WSN
Recently there has been consolidation in the RTLS and WSN market, with acquisitions of companies such as Aeroscout, MicroStrain and Dust Networks.19 Sep 2012
Energy Harvesting: The winning commercialization strategies
A large number of energy harvesting devices, energy storage components and associated electronics now exist. In many cases they are not all available in mass volumes today but certainly in volumes high enough for initial adoption. So who has the most successful model so far?13 Sep 2012
Chemical and component opportunities in Asia
As Asia has dominated in displays, photovoltaics, semiconductor manufacture and other technology sectors, so too will it dominate in making and integrating better components and consumer electronics using the new materials that are enabling devices to be lighter, more robust, flexible, more power efficient and higher performance. Some of these most exciting material developments and their uses are covered at Printed Electronics Asia 2012.30 Aug 2012
One-molecule-thick material has big advantages
A new research suggests that was just the beginning: A whole family of two-dimensional materials may open up even broader possibilities for applications that could change many aspects of modern life.27 Aug 2012
Self charging power cell converts and stores energy in a single unit
Researchers have developed a self-charging power cell that directly converts mechanical energy to chemical energy, storing the power until it is released as electrical current.16 Aug 2012
