This article outlines several federally funded research initiatives aimed at shaping the future of manufacturing across different industries. One of the projects focuses on quantum technology manufacturing, led by SRI International with support from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The goal is to develop a report that will guide the quantum sector by identifying long-term challenges and fostering collaboration among industry stakeholders. This initiative is part of a broader effort to strengthen the U.S.’s leadership in quantum technologies.
Other projects include advancements in space manufacturing, cellular agriculture, and sustainable energy systems. These initiatives aim to address key technical barriers and create new opportunities in areas like space exploration, food production, and reducing carbon emissions. All projects are set to be completed by October 31, 2023, and are expected to contribute to economic growth, environmental sustainability, and technological innovation.
