WASHINGTON Feb, 27 2026 – A future where scientific research can be accelerated  a hundredfold is coming, according to Darío Gil, undersecretary for science at the U.S. Department of Energy and leader of the Genesis Mission. 

At an appearance at the American Enterprise Institute on Tuesday, Gil outlined the promise and potential of the Genesis Mission, a project launched by Executive Order in November 2025. 

“For the first time ever we can imagine an internet of science,” said Gil. “What we're building with the Genesis mission [is] to install the world's most complex and capable scientific instrument."
