Researchers have developed AI-driven mobile robots that can carry out chemical synthesis research with extraordinary efficiency. Researchers show how mobile robots that use AI logic to make decisions were able to perform exploratory chemistry research tasks to the same level as humans, but much faster.

NSF 25-016
November 06, 2024
Dear Colleagues:
Leading the world in discovery and innovation, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) talent development, and the delivery of benefits from research are the objectives of the National Science Foundation (NSF). The 2022-2026 Strategic Plan1 highlights the importance of U.S. global competitiveness and its critical dependence on the readiness of the Nation’s STEM workforce. To achieve this goal, NSF invests in programs that directly advance this workforce. As part of this effort, this DCL announces a cooperative activity between NSF and the Micron Foundation to stimulate transformative approaches to: (a) improve and impact education and training of the advanced memory manufacturing, microelectronics, and semiconductor workforce of the future; and (b) expand equitable opportunities and access to experiential learning programs in cleanrooms and other teaching laboratories.

Note: The 2024 annual average is the year-to-date average through August.
U.S. fuel ethanol exporters are on track to export a record amount of the fuel in 2024. The increase in exports this year has largely been driven by demand in countries with biofuel blending mandates and cheaper-than-usual U.S. fuel ethanol prices.
Fuel ethanol is a renewable fuel made by fermenting sugar from biomass, typically corn in the United States, that is commonly blended with gasoline.
How much fuel ethanol has the United States exported so far in 2024?
In the first eight months of 2024, U.S. fuel ethanol exports averaged 121,000 barrels per day (b/d)—the most fuel ethanol exports in the first eight months of any year.
Exports have
