The National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) and the University of Minnesota’s Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI) have launched a new initiative to demonstrate, at scale, the technologies that will secure supply chains for critical minerals and materials and power the next generation of U.S. industry and manufacturing.
The Joint Research Alliance for Innovative Materials and Processing for Advanced Critical Technologies (JRA-IMPACT, or “IMPACT”) is a translational proving ground for industry-scale innovation and process demonstration.
