As COVID-19 cases multiplied in early 2020, so too did the number of users turning to the Johns Hopkins University dashboard, which tracked global cases of COVID-19 in real time and quickly became the ...

Five years ago today, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft — designed, built and operated by Johns Hopkins APL — conducted the first close-up exploration of Pluto. Since then, scientists have uncovered ...

NASA’s Dragonfly mission team is moving on to the next stage of development on the revolutionary, car-sized nuclear-powered drone it plans to fly over and land on the organic-rich sands of Saturn’s ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins APL, in collaboration with Samsung Research, have unveiled a breakthrough in solid-state cooling technology, doubling the efficiency of today’s commercial systems. Driven ...

Researchers from Johns Hopkins APL and the Johns Hopkins Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences are developing a modeling tool to predict climate “tipping points,” critical thresholds that, when ...

NASA’s Dragonfly mission to Saturn’s moon Titan has been confirmed, enabling the mission to progress through its final design and eventual construction and testing. The game-changing mission, equipped ...

On their latest trip to NASA Langley, in June, the team set up a half-scale Dragonfly lander model, complete with eight rotors, in the 14-by-22 Subsonic Tunnel. Test lead Bernadine Juliano of APL said ...
