As biopharmaceutical companies expand facilities and reshore some manufacturing operations, the industry faces a shortfall of trained workers for its manufacturing facilities. While the Bureau of Labor Statistics recently predicted some 19,000 jobs would be created, PhRMA last year predicted the creation of 100,000 new jobs. Both predictions leave...

A University of Pittsburgh collaboration with Lubrizol, a global specialty chemical leader, was featured in the newly released 2025 Manufacturing USA Report to Congress as a model for scalable, cost-effective domestic manufacturing.

Working through RAPID – the U.S. Department of Energy–sponsored Manufacturing USA institute focused on modular...

“Illuminating.” “Spectacular.” “Compelling.” This is how community college students described the two days they spent at MIT.nano learning about the complex tools inside the cleanroom and building and packaging their own functional photonic chips.

“Integrated photonics is an essential part of semiconductor packaging today,” says Anu Agarwal...
