A recent working paper found that AI and robotics directly promote technological innovation while also bolstering the impact of science and technology investments on technological innovation.

Stephen Ezell appeared on the Energi Talks podcast with journalist Markham Hislop to discuss ITIF’s assessment of Chinese innovation in the nuclear industry.

Axios reports that the U.S. has fallen behind China in advanced nuclear industries, per a new ITIF analysis.

Quartz reported that China's systemic and organizational innovation is driving its rapid advancement in nuclear power, as detailed in Stephen Ezell's latest report on China's ability to innovate in the sector.

Politico reports Congress is set to pass a bipartisan bill to speed up licensing for new nuclear technology, marking the most significant federal support in 20 years. The urgency is fueled by China's competitive edge in developing next-generation reactors.

Though China built upon a foreign base of technology, it has become the world’s leading proponent of nuclear energy. Chinese firms are well ahead of their Western peers, supported by a whole-of-government strategy that provides extensive financing and systemic coordination.

FDi Intelligence reported the US, with its aging nuclear reactors, is lagging behind China in developing small modular reactors (SMRs), key for climate goals. Russia dominates as the sole supplier of enriched uranium for SMRs. This puts US efforts to revive its nuclear industry at a disadvantage against aggressive moves by Russia and China.
