The U.S. National Science Foundation announced today three additional topics for NSF X-Labs as part of the $1.5 billion investment the agency initiated in May, completing the portfolio of topics for calendar year 2026. NSF’s substantial, long-term investment in NSF X-Labs over the next decade aims to tackle pressing scientific and technological challenges through novel and innovative research partnerships.
The latest NSF X-Labs funding opportunity invites proposals in the technical domain of Artificial Intelligence for Physical Systems. NSF is also previewing two additional NSF X-Labs topics for which the agency anticipates inviting proposals later this calendar year: From Sequence to Function and Computation at the Limit of Physics.
“Science is moving faster than ever, and the challenges we face increasingly require new ways of working across disciplines and sectors,” said Brian Stone, performing the duties of the NSF Director. “NSF X-Labs bring together researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs to pursue ambitious scientific questions with the flexibility to test new ideas, learn quickly, and adapt along the way. This is part of NSF’s broader effort to build the conditions for exceptional science to happen more often, more quickly and across a wider range of the research community, helping usher in a new era of American discovery and innovation.”

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking highly qualified individuals interested in serving in STEM positions through the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) Mobility Program. This agency-wide informal outreach effort aims to identify candidates with strong scientific, technical, leadership, and program management expertise who are interested in contributing to NSF’s mission to promote the progress of science and advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare.
NSF is particularly interested in candidates with demonstrated experience in STEM disciplines, strategic leadership, research administration, innovation, and collaboration across academia, industry, and government.
IPA assignments provide a unique opportunity for eligible individuals from academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and other eligible entities to contribute their expertise while gaining valuable federal experience supporting national science and engineering priorities.

In-brief analysis
September 15, 2026
Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Liquefaction Capacity File
Note: LNG=liquefied natural gas; FLNG=Floating Liquefied Natural Gas
On August 28, 2026, Cheniere Energy, Inc., completed its Corpus Christi Liquefaction Stage 3 Project (CCL Stage 3) in Texas, taking custody and control of the seventh and last liquefied natural gas (LNG) train in the project.
CCL Stage 3, which started producing LNG in December 2024, is part of the larger Corpus Christi LNG Terminal in San Patricio County, Texas. The additional capacity expands the total nominal capacity of the facility to 3.1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), or 3.9 Bcf/d peak capacity. With the addition, the Corpus Christi terminal became the second-largest facility in the United States after Sabine Pass in Louisiana, which has a nominal capacity of 3.6 Bcf/d
