As global demand for critical materials accelerates, the ability to accurately model transport phenomena is essential for optimizing both material efficiency and recycling processes. This workshop will bring together leading academic researchers and

Recent disruptions—from pandemics to infrastructure failures to (rapidly) changing trade policies —have exposed critical vulnerabilities in the U.S. supply chain. These challenges demand coordinated, data-informed responses that bridge the gap

NIST is allocating funding to eight small businesses in seven states under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.

Seven NIST reference materials, including house dust and freeze-dried human liver tissue, have been flown to the International Space Station.

The Department of Commerce’s CHIPS Program Office announced the signing of a non-binding letter of intent to provide up to $277 million in direct funding and up to $1.3 billion in a senior secured loan to USA Rare Earth (USAR) under the CHIPS and Science Act.

NIST has expanded its collaboration with the nonprofit MITRE Corporation as part of its efforts to ensure U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence.

The Department of Commerce’s CHIPS Program awarded $210 million in direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to a subsidiary of Korea Zinc — Crucible Metals, LLC — to support an advanced smelter and critical minerals processing facility in Tennessee with an expected $6.6 billion of capital expenditures. The state-of-the-art smelter and critical minerals processing facility will produce 13 critical and strategic minerals that are vital to semiconductors, AI, quantum computing, aerospace & defense, automotives, and industrials.

Making metals processing more sustainable and resilient will support U.S industrial innovation and competitiveness.

The Department of Commerce’s CHIPS Program announced today the signing of a non-binding preliminary letter of intent to provide $50 million in proposed federal incentives under the CHIPS and Science Act to Vulcan Elements. The planned incentives are for the purchase of equipment for the production of domestic Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) magnets which will significantly bolster U.S. critical minerals supply chains. The Department of Commerce will receive $50 million of equity in Vulcan Elements.

The CHIPS for America funding opportunity will support critical research, prototyping and commercial solutions that advance microelectronics technology in the United States.

We are bringing together participants from government, forensic laboratories, industry, academia, law enforcement agencies, and standards organizations to foster an open and candid discussion for a broad view of the path forward to realize meaningful
