The United States woke up on Wednesday, October 1, to a government shutdown, the first since 2018, after Democrats and Republicans failed to reach an agreement on continued funding for government programs and services.

It is important to note that the government shutdown occurred because the Democratic Party in the Senate rejected a final Republican funding proposal.

With this measure, all “non-essential” activities of federal agencies, including offices dedicated to scientific research, are suspended. Furthermore, the salaries of thousands of employees are suspended, and key services to the public, such as transportation and healthcare, are disrupted.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced on Thursday, November 7, that the city will have the first semiconductor research center, called the NanoTech Complex.

The measure is part of the CHIPS and Science Act, approved in 2022, which aims to “improve the technological competitiveness of the United States against China and includes more than $52 billion in incentives for domestic semiconductor production.”

The NanoTech center will be located in the state capital, Albany, and will become a center specialized in “extreme ultraviolet (EUV) technology research and development and will be eligible for up to $825 million in federal funding,” Hochul said.

It is the first of three research centers that will make up the federal consortium of the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC).

The Department of Commerce has indicated that it expects the center to begin operations in 2025, following the preliminary agreement, which will allow them to accelerate the mass production of smaller and faster microchips.
