Texas A to Establish First National Self-Driving Laboratory for Metals with NSF Grant

Texas A to Establish First National Self-Driving Laboratory for Metals with NSF Grant

Texas A&M University is set to establish the Autonomous Robotic Metallurgist Materials Innovation Platform (ARM-MIP) with a $24.9 million grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation. This facility, located at the RELLIS Campus in Bryan, Texas, will be a national user facility where robots and artificial intelligence will handle the repetitive tasks of alloy discovery. The platform aims to accelerate the development of new alloys by minimizing manual labor, allowing scientists to focus on innovation. ARM-MIP will be open to researchers nationwide, providing access to cutting-edge capabilities and fostering collaboration across the U.S. The facility is expected to process over 200 alloys per month by its sixth year, significantly enhancing the speed and efficiency of materials research.

Rep. Celeste Maloy and Rep. Sara Jacobs Introduce ATOMIC Act to Address AI Nuclear Risks

Rep. Celeste Maloy and Rep. Sara Jacobs Introduce ATOMIC Act to Address AI Nuclear Risks

Rep. Celeste Maloy (UT-02) and Rep. Sara Jacobs (CA-51) have introduced the bipartisan AI Threat Output and Monitoring Incident Containment Act (ATOMIC Act). This legislation directs the Department of Energy to establish a national program to evaluate advanced artificial intelligence systems for nuclear-related risks. The program, named the Advanced Artificial Intelligence Nuclear Evaluation Program, will utilize the expertise of the Department of Energy’s National Laboratories to test AI systems for vulnerabilities such as generating sensitive nuclear information and bypassing safety protocols. The bill targets developers who have invested at least $2 billion in AI development over the past five years, ensuring they provide secure access and technical information for evaluations. The legislation also includes protections for proprietary business information.

U.S. Senators Demand Restoration of Cancelled Energy Project Funds

U.S. Senators Demand Restoration of Cancelled Energy Project Funds

A group of 39 U.S. Senators, led by Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed, have called on the Trump Administration to restore federal funding for 223 energy projects that were canceled in October 2025. The cancellation was reportedly based on political motivations, targeting states that did not vote for President Trump in the 2024 election. The Senators argue that this decision undermines the rule of law and the democratic principle that the federal government should serve all Americans, not just those who support the President. The letter to the Department of Energy and the Office of Management and Budget demands the reinstatement of over $7.5 billion in grants.
