NASA continues to be an investment in the future of American innovation. As a nation of explorers and trailblazers, we lead the world in space, achieving breakthroughs that make our challenging missions possible, all the while pushing the boundaries of frontiers in aviation, space travel, and science. NASA's renewed focus on technology development and the capabilities to reach higher in the future is yielding real dividends as we find new uses for exploration technology on our home planet. Every dollar spent on space exploration is spent here on Earth, and in the case of our spinoff technologies, those benefits continue to multiply. Entrepreneurs and researchers are continuously developing new ways to improve life around the world by building on our ongoing work to send humans to new destinations, launch scientific spacecraft for breathtaking discoveries, and improve our Nation's air travel system.

Each year in Spinoff, we tell some of the amazing stories that have come about from NASA technologies being adapted for uses on Earth. Among the many incredible examples this year are: An invisible coating, developed by a NASA Dual-Use Technology partner and tested at NASA facilities, that is capable of breaking down pollutants, eliminating odors, and inhibiting the buildup of grime. The technology's many applications include enhancing the efficiency of solar cells, sanitizing air in the homes of those suffering from cystic fibrosis, and even transforming buildings and towering modern art sculptures into massive air purifiers.
