Abstract

In an effort to counter Chinese advances in science and technology, the United States has adopted legislation that supports semiconductor manufacturing and identifies frontier technologies for R&D investments. The Act creates a new directorate to facilitate science applications at the US National Science Foundation and potentially adds tens of billions of dollars in funding to two US science agencies.
