ARPA-E Program Director Dr. Peter De Bock and Tech-to-Market Adviser Dr. Xin Wu visited NASA Ames Research Center to review an innovative project led by USRA and their partners at NASA.   With support from ARPA-E's PRE-TRAILS program, the team is developing a cutting-edge system that leverages flight data fusion and advanced machine learning algorithms to predict with high precision the potential for commercial flights to produce persistent contrails. This breakthrough aims to significantly reduce aviation's environmental footprint by mitigating contrail formation.    Learn more about PRE-TRAILS here: https://lnkd.in/ec8Z_rae.   #ARPAEontheRoad 

ARPA-E is seeking your input on plant engineering for sustainable energy and materials production.     ARPA-E just issued a Request for Information for a potential program focused on plant genetic engineering and synthetic biology. The goal is to advance plant modifications for biofuels production, CO2 capture, critical minerals accumulation, and more. If you have ideas to help accelerate plant genetic modifications, expand the range of genetic modifications possible, and reduce the challenges of plant regeneration post-modification, we want to hear from you.       Submissions are due by 5:00 PM EST on November 11: https://lnkd.in/epHUgXH7.
