The Atomic Spectroscopy Group provides standardized measurements used across wide swaths of science and industry. The Trump administration plans to cut it.

The article from NPR discusses former President Donald Trump's proposal to cut funding for the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Atomic Spectra Database Laboratory. This lab plays a crucial role in providing essential data for the development of advanced technologies, including semiconductors, medical devices, and quantum computing. The proposed budget cuts could potentially hinder U.S. advancements in these fields, affecting both national security and economic competitiveness. Critics argue that such reductions would undermine America's technological edge, particularly at a time when global competition in technology is intensifying. The article highlights concerns from scientists, industry leaders, and policymakers about the long-term implications of these cuts on innovation and research.
