Abstract:
The United States Naval Academy (USNA) is an exclusively undergraduate institution that awards every graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree and prepares them for military service in the Navy or Marine Corps. This viewpoint highlights (1) how chemistry is integrated into our rigorous military program of study, (2) how our independent research courses help to prepare future Naval and Marine Corps officers, (3) how midshipmen contribute to publishable military-relevant research, and (4) how external collaborative efforts increase the caliber and impact of research.

Water
The polarity of the water molecule and its resulting hydrogen bonding makes water a unique substance with special properties that are intimately tied to the processes of life. Life originally evolved in an aqueous environment, and most of an organism’s cellular chemistry and metabolism occur inside the aqueous contents of the cell’s cytoplasm. Special properties of water are its high heat capacity...
