Need guts? Now you can 3D print more.
Using additive manufacturing, @Livermore_Lab researchers have replicated the complex architecture of the small intestine on a microfluidic chip about the size of a microscope slide and grown human cells on it. livermorelab.info/47h9wXr

From concept to first light. 💡
Ground was broken in 1990 on Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source (APS).
Five years later, the APS produced its first X-rays, beginning a new era of discovery - anl.gov/our-history/timeline

Computers, whether quantum or classical, depend on algorithms. Quantum computing, however, needs a larger toolkit of standardized operations.
@BrookhavenLab scientists and partners developed a quantum version of an important classical operation: bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…

Researchers at Brookhaven Lab and @stonybrooku have successfully transmitted quantum information through open air, 13 miles between the two institutions.
This is a major step toward building quantum networks that extend beyond fiber-optic cables. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…

Success isn’t simply measured by building the largest quantum computer—it’s measured by solving problems that are otherwise intractable.
In my new blog, I share more on this science-first approach and what’s next.

The goal: deploy quantum computers with at least 100 logical qubits and scale up to 200, unlocking new possibilities for scientific computing.
Applications are now open. I look forward to seeing what America’s quantum innovators achieve!
