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.

Great segment on the importance of public R&D for economic growth. It is fascinating to see how past investments in robotics, like those at iRobot, created entirely new industries. For anyone looking to digitize research or old documents from this era, Imagen a Texto is an incredibly useful tool.
Great to see JSA's work on public R&D highlighted on PBS. It is crucial to bring back the two percent GDP investment to foster innovation like iRobot. For anyone wanting to format these research findings into a professional document, using MD to Word makes the process seamless and efficient.
It is great to see public R&D investment discussed. These breakthroughs in robotics and AI fuel economic growth, but they also generate vast amounts of synthetic media. Managing this requires tools like the AI Image Metadata Remover to ensure data integrity and privacy as knowledge expands.
