Search NASA's TechPort inventory — every technology R&D project the agency has tracked, active and completed. Harvested gradually in the background (TechPort only exposes one project per API call, ~21,000 total), so the list grows over time rather than all at once.
What's active and early-stage — where getting involved could matter →

lastUpdated date for the project. "Recently harvested" instead sorts by when we pulled the record into our database, which clusters within the initial harvest window and is far less meaningful — prefer "Recently updated (NASA)".curl -sS "https://devops.majbase.com/nasa-tech-projects/api?q=laser&status=Active&sort=trl&page=1"Returns {"rows": [...], "total", "page", "pages"}, or {"error": "..."} if temporarily unavailable.
