Abstract: On June 30, 2017, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) Board of Appeal published two decisions related to nanomaterials.

July 6th, 2017

On June 30, 2017, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) Board of Appeal published two decisions related to nanomaterials. In the July 5, 2017, issue of ECHA Weekly, ECHA states that the Board of Appeal "largely upheld the appeals and annulled most of the requests for information." See https://echa.europa.eu/view-article/-/journal_content/title/echa-weekly-5-july-2017 In Cases A-014-2015 and A-015-2015, registrants appealed the same 2015 ECHA decision requesting information on synthetic amorphous silica (SAS) following a substance evaluation by the Netherlands Competent Authority. See https://echa.europa.eu/web/guest/about-us/who-we-are/board-of-appeal/announcements/-/view-announcement/301/search/true and https://echa.europa.eu/web/guest/about-us/who-we-are/board-of-appeal/announcements/-/view-announcement/302/search/true ECHA requested information on the physicochemical properties and uses of different types of SAS and surface-treated SAS. According to ECHA, the Board of Appeal annulled these requests "as it was not clear how the information would be used to clarify the potential concerns which in any case had not been sufficiently demonstrated." ECHA notes that the Board of Appeal upheld one request in the contested decision -- for information on the inhalation toxicity of one type of SAS, following repeat exposure.

USDA Awards $4.6 Million in Nanotechnology Research Grants - The National Law Review

EDMONTON -- For years, serious guitar players have clung to their tube amplifiers, saying the rich sound is worth the hassle of old-school electronics.

Now, scientists at the University of Alberta have used the latest nanotechnology in a guitar pedal that duplicates that beloved tone without the inconvenience and expense.

"People generally use the word 'warmer,"' said Rick McCreery, a University of Alberta chemistry professor and researcher at Edmonton's National Institute for Nanotechnology.

Most consumer electronics, including non-tube guitar amps, depend on silicon-based devices called transistors or diodes. They work extremely well to help amplify electronic signals accurately and smoothly.

Too accurately, for many finely tuned musical ears. The sound of silicon lacks the rich harmonics and overtones added when a signal goes through a non-linear circuit, such as a tube.

"If you take an ordinary electric guitar and just amplify it, then guitarists would say this is sterile," McCreery said. "Guitarists didn't like the silicon because it was too linear, too accurate. It didn't generate nice harmonics."

Tubes, however, are fragile and expensive to replace.

Adam Bergren, McCreery's colleague and an amateur guitarist, knew that. He also knew that electronic circuits at the molecular scale have characteristics different from the straight-line response of silicon. At that scale, the rules of physics are different.

Together, they and their colleagues developed a circuit just a couple of molecules -- billionths of a metre -- thick. The team eventually created a non-linear circuit in a guitar pedal that responded just like a tube.

That pedal, dubbed the "Nanolog" and built in Edmonton, is already commercially available. It makes its industry debut this week at the National Association of Music Manufacturers in California, the largest such trade show in the world.

McCreery said their new business, Nanolog Audio, hopes to sell complete pedals and license the nanocircuitry to industry majors such as Fender or Boss.

The guitar pedal market is worth $100 million a year in the U.S. alone.

McCreery says the Nanolog is one of the very first consumer products available to use this type of nanotechnology. A previous pedal, called the Heisenberg and also developed in Edmonton, was released last year on a limited basis.

Guitar heroes are far from the only possible beneficiary from this type of circuit, said McCreery. Durable and reasonably priced, it could replace silicon in thousands of pieces of consumer electronics from stereo amps to cellphones.

Unlike silicon, the nanoscale circuit can be tuned to reflect whatever characteristics manufacturers desire, he said.

The Nanolog also underscores the importance of basic scientific research. McCreery said the first patents on the circuit date back to 2004 and researchers were working in the field for years before that.

"Basic research can have a fairly long incubation period," he said.

"I never intended to make music devices when I started doing this. It's not easy to tell what basic research is going to do for you."

RED, the company known for making some truly outstanding high-end cinema cameras, is set to release a smartphone in Q1 of 2018 called the HYDROGEN ONE. RED says that it is a standalone, unlocked and fully-featured smarphone "operating on Android OS that just happens to add a few additional features that shatter the mold of conventional thinking." Yes, you read that right. This phone will blow your mind, or something - and it will even make phone calls.

In a press release riddled with buzzwords broken up by linking verbs, RED praises their yet-to-be smartphone with some serious adjectives. If we were just shown this press release outside of living on RED's actual server, we would swear it was satire. Here are a smattering of phrases found in the release. We can't make this up:

Those are snippets from just the first three sections, of which there are nine. I get hyping a product, but this reads like a catalog seen in the background of a science-fiction comedy, meant to sound ridiculous - especially in the context of a ficticious universe.

Except that this is real life.

After spending a few minutes removing all the glitter words from this release, it looks like it will be a phone using a display similar to what you get with the Nintendo 3DS, or what The Verge points out as perhaps better than the flopped Amazon Fire Phone. Essentially, you should be able to use the phone and see 3D content without 3D glasses . Nintendo has already proven that can work, however it can really tire out your eyes. As an owner of three different Nintendo 3DS consoles, I can say that I rarely use the 3D feature because of how it makes my eyes hurt. It's an odd sensation. It is probalby why Nintendo has released a new handheld that has the same power as the 3DS, but dropping the 3D feature altogether.

Anyway, back to the HYDROGEN ONE, RED says that it will work in tandem with their cameras as a user interface and monitor. It will also display what RED is calling "holographic content," which isn't well-described by RED in this release. We can assume it is some sort of mixed-dimensional view that makes certain parts of a video or image stand out over the others.

There are two models of the phone, which run at different prices. The Aluminum model will cost $1,195, but anyone worth their salt is going to go for the $1,595 Titanium version. Gotta shed that extra weight, you know?

Strangely, the press release moves away from the impersonal format and adds a a direct voice. The release states explicitly that, "I can also assure you that after this initial release, we will NOT be able to fill all orders on time due to display production limitations. We will NOT guarantee these prices at the time of release. Taxes and shipping not included in the price." So like, better buy it now I guess.

The image of the phone is not final, as RED also states that the design may change, and that "specs and delivery dates can also change anytime for any reason." Luckily, should you choose to put money down on this completely unproven and unseen product, "payments are fully refundable for any reason prior to shipping."

Yes, I'm being hard on this product. I am not taking it seriously. Why? Because the release is totally ridiculous. The amount of marketing alphabet soup being thrown into this makes a prime target for my sarcasm gland, and certainly hard to take with any semblance of seriousness. Tech products, especially phones, fail all the time; even ones from well-known companies. Trusting a high-end professional camera company to make an expensive consumer device is already something to inspire a healthy amount of skepticism, but when it's compounded with hype-heavy adjectives and made-up words, I am just put even further on the "wait and see" side of these tracks.

But if RED can produce, I'll be happy to eat my own words and have my"SENSES" "ASSAULTED" by a $1,600 titanium phone powered by "nanotechnology."

Nanotechnology the creation and use of devices and machines on almost an atomic level is likely to be the driving force behind the next great revolution to benefit humankind. The actual definition of nanotechnology can be quite broad, generally, in scientific and engineering terms, nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers (0.000000001 m). That really does put it on an atomic scale, though the products that can be constructed in this way may be a little larger and can range from microscopic to anything under a millimetre.

While this kind of technology will have applications in many fields, there are likely to be huge advantages in the field of cars and motoring and in the near future, nanotechnology is likely to have a massive impact on the world of driving and vehicles.

It is a fact that nanotechnology can impact so many areas of motoring makes it one of the most important up and coming technologies, and it has attracted the attention of a great number of researchers. This has led to a growing number of breakthroughs in the field, and even more possibilities for this exciting and highly flexible area of science to push different fields of motoring forward. But where is nanotechnology having the greatest influence in car manufacture?

We ask a lot of our internal combustion engines in terms of both increased performance and decreased size and weight. Those two elements together would usually mean disaster for a high-performance engine, but nano-engineering has allowed us to do both, and safely. Engine blocks, which house the fundamental moving parts of the mechanism, were traditionally made of cast iron, because it was the only practical material that could resist the high temperatures and pressures that were produced in the heart of an engine. But engineers soon found that certain grades of aluminium which weighs around a third that of cast iron were found to be suitable too.

But now, engineers have learned how to manipulate aluminiums on an atomic level nanoengineering to create materials that are both stronger while being more lightweight than even the current batch of strong aluminium alloys. This makes them even more fuel efficient while having an increased durability, even in the increasingly hostile conditions found in modern engines. It is a fact that an internal combustion engine performs better and is more efficient at higher temperatures, so this is always a goal for engine designers. We are now also experiencing methods of placing ultra-thin layers of engineering ceramics on metal substrates, creating a surface that is capable of withstanding higher temperatures and wear situations.

Manipulation of either the fundamental structure of the engine block material, or the surface architecture or both, even gives designers far greater scope in heat dissertation, wear characteristics, and strength at elevated temperatures.

We have also seen advances in motor oils, particularly in respect to their ability to withstand the punishing environments of modern engines. Nano-manipulation has created a new breed of oils that are able to cling to internal surfaces for longer, meaning that it is in the right place when the engine starts, so that it offers protection right from the start. Nanotechnology oils are also able to put up with much greater use as the tolerances between engine parts decreases and they operate closer together.

Fuel efficiency, whether the car is petrol, diesel, or electric, is a function of its weight, and even quite small reductions in weight can lead to increase attained mileage significantly. One of the best ways to cut the weight of a vehicle is to use lightweight materials for the structural chassis parts and the exterior, and this is another area where nano-manipulation of materials can create stronger, more lightweight, panels and chassis that are stronger than the ones that they have replaced. Nanotechnology is also responsible for the creation of plastic panels that are able to self-repair and reform themselves following damage.

As the next generation of electric vehicles become common on our streets, engineers and researchers are looking at how to lengthen battery life while increasing performance. This has led to the development of lithium-silicon batteries which promise to boost performance and increase longevity. The latest developments in this fast-moving include silicon nanowires that expand and contract as they absorb and shed lithium ions, and tiny nano-structures with carbon shells protecting lithium-rich silicon cores. This combination allows for more efficient energy transfer, meaning that less energy is lost to the environment as heat and more is supplied to the system.

Nanotechnology is also improving fuel cells the clean alternative technology to hydrocarbon fuels. In these, hydrogen is passed over a catalyst to produce hydrogen ions which then go on to reattached to oxygen and result in energy production. The catalysts are increasingly variations of platinum nano-structures to maximise the surface area and harvest the greatest number of hydrogen ions, thereby maximising energy production too.

Nano-sized layers of inorganic filters are increasingly being applied to the vulnerable surfaces of car bodies, to help protect them from harsh environments, and self-repair to an increasing extent. The smart particles can also help repel dirt and grime, keeping your car looking cleaner, while new developments in orientable surface particles mean that we may soon be able to change the outer colour of our cars by adjusting small electrical charges to them.

Interiors. The use of specialist nanotechnology fabrics is helping to keep the interiors of our cars looking fresh and clean, but also repellent to bacterial affects, creating soft, good looking and completely safe interiors. Once again, developments are being made that will allow the colour of the interior to be changes by reorienting the nano-particles of the material, so that the user can choose any combination of colour that they like, while still having excellent antibacterial properties.

Nanotechnology in cars is becoming big business, and as we find new ways to manipulate materials on an atomic scale, so new applications arise. This will lead to cleaner, quieter, more pleasant cars in the future, and that can only be a good thing.

Renowned Harvard chemistry professor charged with lying about ties to China By Kevin Reed 3 February 2020

World-renowned Harvard University chemistry professor Charles Lieber appeared in court on Thursday in handcuffs, ankle chains and an orange jumpsuit as he was charged with lying about his ties to China.

The bail for Lieber, head of Harvards Chemistry and Chemical Biology Department, was set at $1 million as he was formally accused, along with two Chinese nationals, of illegally aiding the Peoples Republic of China by the US Justice Department.

A DOJ press release issued on Tuesday, the day the 60-year-old Lieber was arrested at his office, said that the Harvard department chair was being criminally charged with one count of making a materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statement.

The cases against the Chinese nationals are separate from Liebers. Yanqing Ye, 29, currently in China, was charged with one count each of visa fraud, making false statements, acting as an agent of a foreign government and conspiracy. Zaosong Zheng, 30, was arrested on December 10, 2019 at Bostons Logan International Airport and charged with attempting to smuggle vials of biological research into China. On January 21, 2020, Zheng was also indicted on one count of smuggling goods from the US and one count of making false, fictitious or fraudulent statements. He has been held in jail since December 30, 2019.

The crux of the case against Lieber is the claim that he lied about his involvement with a program called the Thousand Talents Plan, a program that is alleged to be aimed at luring people with knowledge of foreign technology and intellectual property to China.

The DOJ statement says Unbeknownst to Harvard University beginning in 2011, Lieber became a Strategic Scientist at Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) in China and was a contractual participant in Chinas Thousand Talents Plan from in or about 2012 to 2017. Under the terms of Liebers three-year Thousand Talents contract, WUT paid Lieber $50,000 USD per month, living expenses of up to 1,000,000 Chinese Yuan (approximately $158,000 USD at the time) and awarded him more than $1.5 million to establish a research lab at WUT.

The DOJ document states further that Lieber, during an interview with investigators in April 2018, stated that he was never asked to participate in the Thousand Talents Program, but wasnt sure how China categorized him. Oddly, the criminal complaint also states that, in November 2018, Lieber caused Harvard to falsely tell NIH that Lieber had no formal association with WUT after 2012, that WUT continued to falsely exaggerate his involvement with WUT in subsequent years, and that Lieber is not and has never been a participant in Chinas Thousand Talents Plan.

If convicted, Lieber faces up to five years in federal prison and a maximum fine of $250,000. The university has placed him on paid administrative leave.

A sense of the political motivations behind the aggressive treatment of Lieber was provided by US attorney Andrew Lelling who called the charges against the professor a, small sample of Chinas ongoing campaign to siphon off Americas technology and know-how for its countrys gain.

Boston FBI agent Joseph Bonavolonta provided further insight into the motivation for the charges against the Harvard professor, No country poses a greater, more severe or long-term threat to our national security and economic prosperity than China. Chinas communist governments goal, simply put, is to replace the US as the world superpower, and they are breaking the law to get there.

The New York Times reported in November 2019 that there were at that time 180 open investigations at 71 universities across the US into potential intellectual property theft, including most of the top medical schools. Almost all of the individuals targeted are of Chinese descent, including naturalized American citizens.

Dr. Liebers biography shows that he is a leading international authority on nanoscience and nanotechnology with over 400 papers published on these topics. Nanotechnology deals with the manipulation of matter at the atomic and molecular level and it is a new scientific frontier with vast implications for the future of multiple disciplines and across industries. Lieber is the principle inventor on over fifty US patents and applications of nanotechnology and nanodevices in materials and biology.

Additionally, a review of the top nanotechnology research organizations in the world shows that the US--at the University of California, Berkeley--ranks at number seven behind China, Russia, France and Japan in this area of study and far behind South Korea and Japan in the category of commercial patents.

The arrest and charges against Dr. Lieber come in the context of the Trump administrations trade war Beijing and preparations for open war with the second largest economy in the world. The DOJ case against Lieber bears unmistakable characteristics of an extreme response by the American ruling elite to its declining position in relation to significant areas of scientific research and development internationally. There can be no question that the case against Lieber is intended to intimidate American scientists from engaging in any way with their Chinese colleagues on scientific projects.

2019 has been a year of mass social upheaval. We need you to help the WSWS and ICFI make 2020 the year of international socialist revival. We must expand our work and our influence in the international working class. If you agree, donate today. Thank you.

After more than seven years of shepherding interdisciplinary materials research and defining a materials innovation ecosystem at the Georgia Institute of Technology, David L. McDowell is stepping down from his role as founding director of the Institute for Materials (IMat).

McDowell is the Carter N. Paden Jr. Distinguished Chair in Metals Processing and a Regents Professor. He holds a dual appointment in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering (ME) and the School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE).

IMat was founded in Fall 2012 and formally launched in June 2013 in conjunction with a press release from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy highlighting Georgia Techs commitment to the U.S. Materials Genome Initiative. IMat serves a community of more than 200 faculty and staff conducting materials-related research that bridges across all colleges and academic units at Georgia Tech, including the Georgia Tech Research Institute. IMats goal is to develop a materials innovation ecosystem to help define and pursue current and future science and technology challenges that require a multifaceted and collaborative approach.

McDowell was an early believer in the interdisciplinary approach to research. Serving as associate director (1984-1992) and director (1992-2012) of the Mechanical Properties Research Lab at Georgia Tech, he helped the facility grow into an umbrella organization that coordinates shared equipment use, training, and maintenance among campus researchers working in structural materials.

Under his leadership, and in partnership with the Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology as well as key academic units such as MSE, IMat merged several characterization and analysis laboratories on campus into the Materials Characterization Facility (MCF). In 2019, the MCF supported more than 650 unique campus and external users in materials research, making high-end characterization tools and staff resources available to academic, industry, and government users.

McDowell has also emphasized IMats pursuit of Georgia Techs leadership in the emerging field of materials data science to enhance basic research and substantially accelerate the discovery and development of new and improved materials.

Traditional experimental methods are expensive and time consuming, slowing down the materials R&D enterprise. McDowell sees the need to apply such new methods in materials discovery and development as critical to U.S. competitiveness of basic research and insertion of materials into products. Through a strategy of identifying key faculty hires in academic units and investing in a thought leadership position among academic institutions, IMat has built a foundation for Georgia Techs highly visible efforts in this area.

In particular, the concept of a materials innovation ecosystem pursued by Georgia Tech has fostered significant cross-disciplinary research and education efforts.

We thank Dave McDowell for everything he has done to advance interdisciplinary materials research at Georgia Tech over the past seven years as the founding director of the Institute for Materials, said Raheem Beyah, vice president for interdisciplinary research. His focus on materials data science was far-sighted and has helped make us a leader in this area.

Although McDowell is stepping down from the directorship of IMat, he has no plans on leaving Georgia Tech. What has kept me in the academic realm is my love for the development of students, and in particular graduate students, developing them as people and helping them realize their goals and dreams, McDowell said. He will continue to teach to, and learn from, the next generation of leaders at Georgia Tech.

Dave McDowell to Step Down as Director of the Institute for Materials (IMat) | Research Horizons - Research Horizons

Sometimes the smallest of things lead to the biggest ideas. Case in point: Nano 2020, a University of Arizona-led initiative to develop curriculum and technology focused on educating students in the rapidly expanding field of nanotechnology.

The five-year, multi-university project recently met its goal of creating globally relevant and implementable curricula and instructional technologies, to include a virtual reality classroom, that enhance the capacity of educators to teach students about innovative nanotechnology applications in agriculture and the life sciences.

Visualizing What is Too Small to be Seen

Nanotechnology involves particles and devices developed and used at the scale of 100 nanometers or less to put that in perspective, the average diameter of a human hair is 80,000 nanometers. The extremely small scale can make comprehension challenging when it comes to learning about things that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

That's where the Nano 2020 virtual reality classroom comes in. In a custom-developed VR classroom complete with a laboratory, nanoscale objects come to life for students thanks to the power of science data visualization.

Within the VR environment, students can interact with objects of nanoscale proportions pick them up, turn them around and examine every nuance of things that would otherwise be too small to see. Students can also interact with their instructor or their peers. The Nano 2020 classroom allows for multi-player functionality, giving educators and students the opportunity to connect in a VR laboratory in real time, no matter where they are in the world.

"The virtual reality technology brings to life this complex content in a way that is oddly simple," said Matt Mars, associate professor of agricultural leadership and innovation education in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and co-director of the Nano 2020 grant. "Imagine if you can take a student and they see a nanometer from a distance, and then they're able to approach it and see how small it is by actually being in it. It's mind-blowing, but in a way that students will be like, 'Oh wow, that is really cool!'"

The technology was developed by Tech Core, a group of student programmers and developers led by director Ash Black in the Eller College of Management.

"The thing that I was the most fascinated with from the beginning was playing with a sense of scale," said Black, a lifelong technologist and mentor-in-residence at the McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship. "What really intrigued me about virtual reality is that it is a tool where scale is elastic you can dial it up and dial it down. Obviously, with nanotechnology, you're dealing with very, very small things that nobody has seen yet, so it seemed like a perfect use of virtual reality."

Black and Tech Core students including Robert Johnson, Hazza Alkaabi, Matthew Romero, Devon Oberdan, Brandon Erickson and Tim Lukau turned science data into an object, the object into an image, and the image into a 3D rendering that is functional in the VR environment they built.

"I think that being able to interact with objects of nanoscale data in this environment will result in a lot of light bulbs going off in the students' minds. I think they'll get it," Black said. "To be able to experience something that is abstract like, what does a carbon atom look like well, if you can actually look at it, that's suddenly a whole lot of context."

The VR classroom complements the Nano 2020 curriculum, which globally expands the opportunities for nanotechnology education within the fields of agriculture and the life sciences.

Teaching the Workforce of the Future

"There have been great advances to the use of nanotechnology in the health sciences, but many more opportunities for innovation in this area still exist in the agriculture fields. The idea is to be able to advance these opportunities for innovation by providing some educational tools," said Randy Burd, who was a nutritional sciences professor at the University of Arizona when he started the Nano 2020 project with funding from a National Institute of Food and Agriculture Higher Education Challenge grant through the United States Department of Agriculture. "It not only will give students the basics of the understanding of the applications, but will give them the innovative thought processes to think of new creations. That's the real key."

The goal of the Nano 2020 team, which includes faculty from the University of Arizona, Northern Arizona University and Johns Hopkins University, was to create an online suite of undergraduate courses that was not university-specific, but could be accessed and added to by educators to reach students around the world.

To that end, the team built modular courses in nanotechnology subjects such as glycobiology, optical microscopy and histology, nanomicroscopy techniques, nutritional genomics, applications of magnetic nanotechnology, and design, innovation, and entrepreneurship, to name a few. An online library will be created to facilitate the ongoing expansion of the open-source curricula, which will be disseminated through novel technologies such as the virtual reality classroom.

"It isn't practical to think that other universities and colleges are just going to be able to launch new courses, because they still need people to teach those courses," Mars said. "So we created a robust and flexible set of module-based course packages that include exercises, lectures, videos, power points, tools. Instructors will be able to pull out components and integrate them into what already exists to continue to move toward a more comprehensive offering in nanotechnology education."

According to Mars, the highly adaptable nature of the curriculum and the ability to deliver it in various ways were key components of the Nano 2020 project.

"We approach the project with a strong entrepreneurial mindset and heavy emphasis on innovation. We wanted it to be broadly defined and flexible in structure, so that other institutions access and model the curricula, see its foundation, and adapt that to what their needs were to begin to disseminate the notion of nanotechnology as an underdeveloped but really important field within the larger landscape of agriculture and life sciences," Mars said. "We wanted to also provide an overlay to the scientific and technological components that would be about adoption in human application, and we approached that through an innovation and entrepreneurial leadership lens."

Portions of the Nano 2020 curriculum are currently being offered as electives in a certificate program through the Department of Agriculture Education, Technology and Innovation at the University of Arizona. As it becomes more widely disseminated through the higher education community at large, researchers expect the curriculum and VR classroom technology to transcend the boundaries of discipline, institution and geography.

"An online open platform will exist where people can download components and courses, and all of it is framed by the technology, so that these experiences and research can be shared over this virtual reality component," Burd said. "It's technologically distinct from what exists now."

"The idea is that it's not just curriculum, but it's the delivery of that curriculum, and the delivery of that curriculum in various ways," Mars said. "There's a relatability that comes with the virtual reality that I think is really cool. It allows students to relate to something as abstract as a nanometer, and that is what is really exciting."

The FBI has released a wanted poster for Yanqing Ye, a lieutenant in Chinas Peoples Liberation Army (PLA), who has been accused of lying on her visa application and researching U.S. military and college websites for her country.

Ye studied at Boston University from October 2017 through April 2019 and is one of three people charged with hiding their ties with the Chinese government. Despite the wanted poster by the FBI, it is highly doubtful that shell ever face charges since she is now back in China.

Ye did not disclose that she was a lieutenant in the PLA and a member of the Chinese Communist Party on her visa application, according to government investigators. She also is accused of visa fraud, acting as an agent of a foreign government, making false statements, and conspiracy.

According to the government, the 29-year-old Ye was accused of falsely identifying herself as a student on her J-1 visa application and lying about her ongoing military service at the National University of Defense Technology, a military academy directed by the Chinese Communist Party.

Ye worked as a PLA lieutenant from 2017 to 2019. During that time, she allegedly accessed U.S. military websites, sent American documents and technical information to China and compiled information for the PLA on two American scientists with expertise in robotics and computer science, according to the government statement.

In federal indictments that were released on Tuesday, Ye, Dr. Charles Lieber, Chairman of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University, and Chinese national Zaosong Zheng, were accused of spying for China and hiding their connections to the Chinese government.

Lieber, who was arrested Tuesday morning, was charged with one count of making a materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statement. From 2012 to 2017, Lieber became a strategic scientist at the Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) in China and during that time took part in the Thousand Talents Plan. That program seeks foreign talent to willingly give up information from their own countries to the Chinese.

Lieber was allegedly given a three-year contract with Thousand Talents and during this time WUT paid Lieber $50,000 per month, $158,000 in living expenses, and awarded him more than $1.5 million to establish a research lab at WUT.

The 60-year old scientist was released from custody on Thursday and ordered to post a $1 million dollar cash bond in Boston. Federal investigators say Lieber hid his involvement in the program from Harvard and told federal investigators in 2018 that he had never been asked to participate in it.

Lieber is considered a pioneer in the realm of nanoscience and his research is an integral part of the ambitious program of Elon Musk to supercharge the human brain with nanotechnology. Prior to this arrest, Lieber had been seen as a potential Nobel laureate.

These events, which are hardly confined to Boston, highlight what many officials in the United States government have long feared: Chinese espionage stealing American trade and military technology.

Chemistry, nanotechnology, polymer studies, robotics, computer science, biomedical research this is not an accident or a coincidence, U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling said in a press conference earlier this week. This is a small sample of Chinas ongoing campaign to siphon off American technology and know-how for Chinese gain.

The use of nanoparticles within manufacturing continues to grow

The concept ofnanotechnologythe manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scalehas been described as the sixth revolutionary technology disrupting our modern world, writes Mark Hughes, regional VP UK & Ireland at Epicor.

Following the application of the first nano-production technologies in the semiconductor fabrication field back in the late 1990s, the past decade has witnessed the fast-paced commercialisation of products based on advancements in nanoscale technologies. Today, nanotechnology applications are being utilised to great effect in a range of fields extending from consumer electronics to bio tech, cosmetics, and clothing.

Increasingly viewed as a key driver for transformation across a multitude of use-cases, working with nanoparticlesbetween a scale of just 1-100 nanometresenables manufacturers to unlock enhanced or unique, physical, chemical or biological properties. Alongside unlocking new innovations, the technology is set to make it more economical to produce superior products composed of novel materials that have remarkable properties.

Here, we take a look into the future of nanotechnology, the benefits it holds for the manufacturing sector, and the barriers that must be overcome to unlock its potential.

From fully recyclable crisp packets to targeted medicines with minimised side-effects, and car engines that produce cleaner exhaust fumes, a number of manufacturing sectorsincluding healthcare, automotive, packaging, and food productionare already taking advantage of nanotechnology. Just last year, researchers were able tocreate a nanoparticle influenza vaccine, whilst others used a hierarchically nanostructured gel to exploit solar energy to purify water at a record rate.

By introducing improved mechanical properties within existing materials, nanomaterials will be essential to manufacturers when developing more efficient and usable products. In aerospace, for example, materials with increased stiffness and reduced weight will be favoured over heavier but weaker structures. Nanomaterials will enable manufacturers to raise future developments and innovation to a new level, making products faster, lighter, cheaper, and easier to manufacture.

Future developments in nanotechnology will help manufacturers improve efficiency in a number of operations, from design, processing, and packaging, through to transportation of goods. This could also help manufacturers reduce their environmental impactby saving raw materials, energy, and water, reducing greenhouse gases and hazardous wastes. As climate change remains a top concern, innovations such as these will propel manufacturing firms light years ahead of the competitionwhilst providing a more sustainable future.

Whilst it is clear that the manufacturing industry will continue to see huge developments when it comes to nanotechnology, the technology itself is currently very much in its infancy. Despite its many use-cases, there remains a lot to learn about the long-term impact of manipulating materials at nanoscale. As its easily inhaled, concerns about the health effects of nanoparticles and nanofibers, for example, mean that calls for the tighter regulation of nanotechnology are growing.

Similarly, knowledge gaps relating to the long-term environmental side effects of exposure to engineered nanomaterials means current regulatory regimes are set to intensify around the globe. One example of this is the bacteriostatic silver nanoparticles used in socks to reduce foot odour. When washed, these particles can enter the waste water stream and have the potential to destroy beneficial bacteria that is essential to natural ecosystems, farms, and waste treatment processes.

Consequently, to utilise this technology effectively and safely traceability will be key. For manufacturers using nanoparticles, implementation of robust standard proceduressupported by fully-integrated computer systemscan help pinpoint any issues in a matter of seconds and prevent other end users of the product from being impacted. This will be particularly crucial for manufacturers using nanotechnology within products such as food or cosmetics that could directly impact consumers. Whilst nanotechnologies could eventually be used to enhance the microbiological safety and quality of products, having full visibility will be essential to ensure standards are met.

Labelling these products accurately and having full traceabilitythroughout the production process through to the end userwill enable manufacturers to manage recalls and end-of-life product responsibilities effectively, reducing the impact to customers, the environment and the business itself.

As the use of nanoparticles within manufacturing continues to grow, ERP software will play a key role in the quality control and traceability of these products. Businesses that integrate a modern industry-specific enterprise resource planning (ERP) system across the factory floor will be able to retain full visibility over all operations for both workforce and consumer safety. By improving data accuracy and ease of data retrieval, businesses will be best-placed to keep up with regulatory compliance, whilst revolutionising the way the industry manufactures goods, and the goods themselves.

GSA kicks off on-ramp awards for three OASIS Small Business pools - Washington Technology

Norwegian architect Snhetta has pledged to only design carbon-negative buildings, meaning their projects will generate more energy than they consume over their lifetime.

The firm plans to make the shift over the next 20 years. Snhetta co-founder Kjetil Thorsen said the firm was making the move because the need to respond to climate change "feels so bloody urgent".

"For the next 10 years Snhetta will focus on turning our project portfolio carbon neutral in terms of all projects in the design stage," the firm told Dezeen. "Within the next 20 years [we will] ensure that our built projects are carbon neutral"

The move will mean that all their buildings generate enough energy to compensate for carbon emitted during the production of building materials, construction, operation and decommissioning at the end of the building's life.

"For the next 10 years, we have the ambition of having projects on the table that will become CO2 negative in the cradle-to-cradle definition," said Thorsen. "This means we have to understand the embodied energies and all the materials used."

The announcement follows the completion of the Oslo-based architect's Powerhouse Brattrkaia building, which is designed to be carbon negative over its 60-year lifespan.

It comes as architects wake up to the huge environmental impact of buildings and explore ways they can be beneficial to the planet.

Stirling Prize-winning architects Mikhail Riches declared last month that they will only work on zero-carbon projects from now on. However many architects believe the profession needs to aim beyond carbon neutrality. Michael Pawyln of climate-change movement Architects Declare has called for a new generation of regenerative buildings that give back more than they take.

Snhetta estimates that 85 per cent of a building's carbon emissions are generated by materials and construction, with just 15 per cent produced over the building's operational lifetime and during decommissioning.

"In order to become CO2 negative after a certain period of time, you have to start producing energy from day one, repaying the carbon debt that which you had at the day of the opening," Thorsen told Dezeen. "You have to start paying back by producing clean energy."

The main way buildings can repay this carbon debt is by generating power using photovoltaic panels, Thorsen said.

With today's photovoltaic technology, buildings need to be operational for around 60 years before their solar panels have generated enough power to pay back all the carbon emitted over the building's lifetime.

Mikhail Riches will "aim for zero carbon" in all projects after Stirling Prize win

Sixty years is currently "the best you can do," Thorsen said. It takes around six years to pay back the embodied carbon in the solar panels themselves, he added.

With current photovoltaic technology, carbon-negative buildings need to be sculpted to maximise the sunlight that hits them. The wedge-shaped Powerhouse Brattrkaia building has 3,000 square metres of photovoltaics on its sloping south-facing facade.

A second Powerhouse building, called Powerhouse Telemark, is under construction in Porsgrunn, south-eastern Norway. This is shaped like a diamond to make their most of its photovoltaic cladding.

But Thorsen believes that advances in solar-panel technology will allow buildings to generate clean energy more efficiently and become carbon positive more quickly.

Nanotechnology could soon be used to make panels with micro-scale 3D surfaces that capture more sunlight than today's flat panels, he said. They could generate power for longer periods and buildings would not need to be shaped to maximise exposure to sunlight, since the panels would be effective regardless of the angle of the sun.

These panels would be less carbon-intensive to manufacture, and could have built-in batteries to store power, Thorsen said.

"The whole architectural scene has been waiting for nanotechnologies to actually get to a point where we can get more efficient for solar-panel electrical production," Thorsen said. "Nanotechnology seems to be the way forward with much lower embodied energy in the production."

Nanotechnology could also see the development of wafer-thin batteries that are printed onto the same cladding panels, he said.

The photovoltaics on Powerhouse Brattrkaia generate 50 to 60 per cent more power than the building needs. The excess is used to power neighbouring buildings via a microgrid.

"We fooled ourselves that sustainability was getting us where we needed to go" says Michael Pawlyn of Architects Declare

"The ambition is also to be able to store energy from the summer months for the winter months in really efficient batteries," Thorsen said. "The next level is not just like zero-emissions buildings, but a zero-emissions neighbourhoods."

Other ways Snhetta is trying to reduce the time it takes for buildings to repay their carbon debt include using less carbon-intensive materials such as wood and avoiding composite materials and glues that cannot be reused.

The firm is working on a carbon-negative hotel that will be built close to the Svartisen glacier in Northern Norway. Called the Svart Hotel, the off-grid building will generate a power surplus and will be largely constructed of timber.

Imagine a window that could instantly turn into mirror the possibility is real, thanks to a breakthrough in nanotechnology by researchers at the Australian National University (ANU).

They have developed a material that promises to protect astronauts from harmful radiation, as well as practical uses closer to home.

ANU researchers have dubbed their invention a "smart mirror", and all that is needed for it to change is an adjustment to its temperature.

"Our smart mirror consists of lots of dielectric nanoparticles which are carefully designed and arranged within a single layer," ANU lead researcher Dr Mohsen Rahmani said.

The layer of nanoparticles are spread so thin that they are just 0.00005 of a millimetre apart.

"Today's technology, all optical silicates consist of the elements that work statically," Dr Rahmani said.

"Which means they either transmit the light or reflect the light, or something in between."

Until now, optical silicates have only achieved one function.

But with a switch in heat, this new one promises to transform to either absorb, reflect or emit light and radiation.

"By our technology, for the first time you can have a single element which can have all those functions at the same time, and you can control the light passing through or reflects," Dr Rahmani said.

Dr Rahmani said the film was thin enough to coat a pin head hundreds of times, and could be applied to any surface like a spacesuit.

"By adjusting the temperature of that thin layer, we are able to control the optical properties of those nanoparticles," he said.

"So that the entire surface can either transmit or reflect the incoming light on demand."

One of the major problems involved with prolonged space travel is exposure to cosmic radiation.

Currently thick filter panels are needed to protect both space craft and astronauts.

"As we know, the temperature in space varies a lot," Dr Rahmani said.

"Just imagine we can have a smart mirror which can reflect different frequencies at different temperature.

"It can give a great platform to protect the devices or astronauts in different environments in the space."

Sending people into space has seen the creation of a number of innovations and inventions now used in daily life memory foam, quick-dry anti-rust paint, water filters, and some bulletproof fabrics all came from the space race.

And just like those innovations initially designed for space travel, this one also has useful applications on Earth.

Just like a car's back window has wires running through it to defog it with a change in heat, a similar system has been proposed to control the temperature in the new film, switching clear glass to a mirror or an illuminated panel.

"The principle is quite extendable to other frequencies as well," co-researcher and associate professor Andrey Miroshnichenko said.

"Including visible, which opens [a] whole range of new types of application, including architectural ones.

"Where for example, your window becomes a mirror."

With mirrors switching to light panels, the ANU team said the technology also promises to save energy.
