White House Unveils "New Golden Age of Science" Initiative with Over $6 Billion Investment

The Trump Administration launched a "New Golden Age of Science" initiative, building on a report by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. This whole-of-government effort, supported by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), involves over $6 billion in investments across federal government, industry, academia, and philanthropy. The initiative aims to secure U.S. dominance in critical and emerging technologies by accelerating scientific discovery, driving technology deployment, and rebuilding America's industrial base, with a focus on equipping scientists with "Super Intelligence" tools.
