SRI

In 1966, a team at SRI set out to answer a groundbreaking question: Is it possible to build a computationally based system that can reason and act like a human? 60 years on, our Artificial Intelligence Center continues work on ideas that are ahead of the market, developing and deploying innovations that push the cutting edge in human-AI collaboration, autonomous systems, health, bioinformatics, and more.

Our Self-Cooling Paint is highlighted in the World Economic Forum’s Top 10 Emerging Technologies of 2026! SRI’s paint is cited for its ability to reduce surface temperatures by up to 15 degrees below ambient conditions on grid and building components. SRI research scientist Anish Thukral is has taken the technology from hundreds of rigorous lab-scale formulation optimizations to commercial scale-up in the market.

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected SRI to establish the Quantum Manufacturing Engineering Center (QMEC) — accelerating the manufacture of scalable, high-performance quantum components and systems toward real commercial adoption. Building on our QED-C® partnership with NIST since 2019, this is the next step: moving from roadmaps to reality. Read more: https://bit.ly/4wf8shl

Coming back to Earth soon: SRI and ICE Cubes Service carbon-absorbing aerogels. Aboard the International Space Station, SRI scientists will analyze how these unique substances form in microgravity, which could contribute to new approaches to capture carbon here on Earth.

We're excited to continue our work on Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H)'s POSEIDON program!

This month, we're focusing on our #quantum innovations, impact, and solutions. In this edition: ➡️ How SRI is advancing the quantum ecosystem in areas like next-generation quantum sensing, quantum networking, and photonic integrated circuits for quantum systems ➡️ The annual State of the Global Quantum Industry report from SRI-managed QED-C® shows an industry accelerating rapidly from technical promise toward major global impact ➡️ Making quantum magnetic field sensing more portable and practical ➡️ Celia Merzbacher: Fostering collaboration to advance the quantum industry ➡️ Quantum networking is moving out of the lab More ⤵️

AI agents are negotiating, transacting, and delegating at machine speed. But without a trust layer, organizations have no way to prove what's true. Zerker Labs, our newest spinout, is building cryptographic verification infrastructure for AI agents. Built on SRI's trusted OLIVE platform — hardened through DARPA programs and deployed across U.S. defense, intelligence, and commercial sectors — Zerker gives every AI agent action a cryptographic receipt that anyone can verify.
