[White House OSTP 47 @WHOSTP47]

Today @NSF announced a major investment of $1.5B towards a new model for scientific research🚨

NSF X-Labs will fund independent teams of researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs to pursue bold milestone-based scientific challenges.

This is how we revitalize America's scientific engine for the 21st century outside of traditional institutions, conducting science in a way that actually reflects the modern R&D ecosystem ⬇️

[Director Michael Kratsios @mkratsios47]

.@NSF's newly announced $1.5B NSF X-Labs initiative is ushering in a new era for scientific discovery.

By empowering a new generation of independent research organizations with autonomy, resources, and milestone-driven focus, we're tackling the toughest scientific challenges that traditional labs can't. This is how we build 21st-century scientific institutions and secure America's technological leadership for decades to come.

[Director Michael Kratsios @mkratsios47]

Today @SecRubio and @MariaStenergard signed a Technology Prosperity Deal between the United States and Sweden.

TPDs are a key Trump Administration initiative to build deep, trusted technology partnerships with America’s allies. Building on bilateral TPDs signed with the United Kingdom, Japan, and Korea, our work with Sweden will focus on strategic collaborations on AI, 6G telecommunications, advanced manufacturing, energy innovation, and research security.

The Deal will create high-paying jobs for Americans, secure supply chains, and accelerate breakthroughs that will benefit the world for years to come.

America is at the threshold of a bold new chapter in aerospace innovation.

Nearly one year ago, @POTUS signed an EO to update the outdated and overly restrictive regulations that grounded supersonic flight over land for more than 50 years. Today, faster, quieter, safer and more efficient air travel is on the horizon✈️🇺🇸

[APLU @APLU_News]

While #highered faces an evolving landscape, the mission of public & land-grant universities remains constant. Register for #APLU2026 today to exchange best practices with more than 1,500 senior leaders in the sector on November 15-17 in San Antonio. https://t.co/S32jSxypNr

[U.S. National Science Foundation @NSF]

Today, NSF announced $250 million to restart its NSF Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer programs, including a $40 million pilot initiative focused on next-generation scientific instrumentation and advanced experimental platforms. https://t.co/TeV57Jh5Tj

[DOE Office of Science @doescience]

Congratulations to Katherine Yelick, the new director of the Office of Science's @BerkeleyLab!

She is a leading computer scientist with deep expertise in high-performance computing and artificial intelligence: https://t.co/W8lO5BLBja

[National Institute of Standards and Technology @NIST]

Researchers at NIST are making single-photon detectors using superconducting materials chilled to near absolute zero. These quantum sensors can detect signals that were previously invisible.

[National Institute of Standards and Technology @NIST]

Aircraft mechanics use torque wrenches to ensure that bolts and fasteners on planes are correctly tightened, keeping us safe. Measurement tools need to be calibrated, and NIST’s Lego brick-inspired experts are working to improve the process.
