The U.S. government spends about 0.7 percent of GDP on scientific research and development, down from 2 percent in the 1960s. Less investment means fewer chances for breakthroughs like the weapon-seeking robots that saved thousands of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan -- and created a new consumer products category. Economics correspondent Paul Solman reports on an effort to jump-start public R&D.

Finally, well-deserved national coverage for what the JSA team has been quietly building. The contrast between 0.7% and 2% of GDP on R&D makes this kind of public‑private innovation even more urgent. I've been following your work since https://stl-viewer.org

It's incredible to see JSA's work highlighted on PBS NewsHour — especially that point about R&D funding dropping from 2% to 0.7% of GDP since the 60s. The robot breakthroughs that saved lives in Iraq and Afghanistan really show why public investment in science matters, and I've been following their efforts to jump-start more of it. https://image-to-video.org
