Basic research is the foundation of all scientific and engineering discovery and progress. It is what leads to new inventions and concepts—many of which are revolutionary. @AFResearchLab #BasicResearch #AFOSRBoldResearch #AFOSR70 #70YearsofInnovation #WednesdayWisdom

"If you don't invest in basic research at some stage you start losing the basis of applied research." - Rolf-Dieter Heuer @DoD_BasicRsch @AFResearchLab #BasicResearch #AFOSR70 #70YearsofInnovation #WednesdayWisdom

We're MARCHing into the 90s as we continue our #AFOSR70 celebration! The 90s was chock-full of tech and advancements that we still use today. Learn about each success pictured below at #AFOSRBoldResearch #HighRiskHighReward #AFOSR90s #70YearsofInnovation

We received over 100 amazing submissions for the inaugural Basic Research Art of Science Showcase in honor of AFRL/AFOSR's #70YearsofInnovation! The virtual gallery is now open! at @AFResearchLab #BasicResearch #AFOSR70

“...the two Larrys came to me at the end of my lecture and were as excited with the new development as I was. Indeed, it was the support from AFOSR that made it possible for us to realize our dream.” #AFOSRBoldResearch #1980s #AFOSR70 #70YearsofInnovation #MondayMotivation

Today is AFOSR's birthday! Celebrating 70 years of @usairforce and @SpaceForceDoD innovation! AFOSR manages global basic research for @AFResearchLab— investing in revolutionary basic science for Airmen & Guardians of the future. #AFOSR70 #AFOSRBoldResearch

🎉🎉🎉 Happy Birthday @AFOSR, your work in basic research is pivotal to AFRL's, the @usairforce and the @SpaceForceDoD's missions. #HappyBirthday #AFOSR70 #AFOSR

@AFOSR established 70 years ago to push the envelope of technology integration and innovation via the power of basic research. Learn more about their history and impact on the @usairforce here: #AFOSR #AFOSR70 #AFResearchLab

Just as true today! AFOSR continues to expand the horizon of scientific knowledge for @usairforce and @SpaceForceDoD. #WednesdayWisdom by Nick Komons, Office of Aerospace Research, 1966. Report: @AFResearchLab #BasicResearch #AFOSR70 #70YearsofInnovation

In honor of AFOSR's 70th Anniversary we’re sharing shout-outs from our amazing principal investigators. Many thanks to Professor David Kisailus @UCIrvine for his innovative #BioInspired #BasicResearch endeavors! @AFResearchLab #AFOSRBoldResearch #AFOSRDURIP #ShoutoutToResearchers

We greatly appreciate the work our PIs do in supporting the basic research mission of @usairforce & @SpaceForceDoD. Our PIs & their institutions are vitally important for our nation as they cont. finding innovative ideas & solutions to the difficult challenges we face every day.

As we seek to achieve the AFRL/AFOSR basic research mission we need and rely on our PIs expertise and diverse perspectives to succeed— as we have for the past 70 years. @AFResearchLab #BasicResearch #AFOSR70 #70YearsofBasicResearch

Researchers have discovered a previously undetectable quantum excitation known as the axial Higgs mode, magnetic relative of the mass-defining #HiggsBoson particle: @BostonCollege @Princeton @Harvard @AFResearchLab #AFOSRBoldResearch #AFOSR70 #ArtofScience

We're flying through our yearlong birthday celebration into the 2010s! which see huge leaps in nanotechnology, better batteries 🔋 & smarter algorithms. Stay tuned for more #AFOSR2010s highlights throughout May! @AFResearchLab #AFOSRBoldResearch #AFOSR70 #70YearsofInnovation

A Brief Organizational History of AFOSR "Everyone is for research and development, just as everyone is against sin-however, very few people will sacrifice for it." - Gen. Jimmy Doolittle, 1951, then Chief of Staff of the USAF @AFResearchLab #TBT #AFOSR70

Yesterday, the BRICC hosted the @AFOSR “Art of Science,” an exhibit highlighting 70 years of Basic Research Innovation. The event included key remarks from leaders in the services, the S&T community, and local NCR community. @AFResearchLab #ArtofScience #AFOSR70 #AFOSRArt #SciArt
