	Naval Research Laboratory (NRL)
		NRL is a field command under the Chief of Naval Research and has approximately 3,300 personnel (over 1900 research staff - nearly half of these PhD's) who address basic research issues concerning the Navy's environment of sea, sky, and space.
		There was a transfer of NRL to the administrative oversight of ONR and a parallel shift of the Laboratory's research emphasis to one of long-range basic and applied investigation in a broad range of the physical sciences.
		NRL now serves as the lead Navy laboratory for research in ocean and atmospheric sciences with special strengths in physical oceanography, marine geosciences, ocean acoustics, marine meteorology, and remote oceanic and atmospheric sensing.

		Our research objectives include measuring the intermolecular and surface forces of materials with molecular specificity and resolution; elucidating the mechanics of materials or species under compression, tension, or shear; and developing new science-based molecular models for adhesion and tribology.
		Research is conducted on physicochemical properties and effects of surface-active organic compounds that 1) form organized monomolecular films and 2) can be transferred to solid surfaces as mono- or multilayer films with precisely controlled properties such as packing density and phase state.
		Such films are also used in fundamental research studies as reference standards for scanning probe microscopes; as model systems to help understand the physical and chemical properties of biological membranes; and as model systems to increase understanding of the molecular basis of adhesion and lubrication.
