The U.S. National Science Foundation is investing $90 million over five years to support three new NSF Science and Technology Centers (NSF STC). These centers will advance American leadership in science and technology, strengthen the nation’s STEM workforce, and accelerate innovation in fields ranging from artificial intelligence and biotechnology to fusion energy and robotics.

The proliferation of AI data centers has spurred protests across the United States. Last month, communities that had long fought separate battles against Big Tech’s intrusion into their hometowns organized for the first coordinated national demonstration, staging nearly 150 protests across 42 states.
