China has banned U.S. chip maker Micron from selling its products to Chinese companies working on key infrastructure projects, citing national security risks. The development comes nearly two months after the country’s cybersecurity authority initiated a probe in late March 2023 to assess potential network security risks. “The purpose of this network security review of Micron’s products is to prevent product network security problems from endangering the security of national critical information infrastructure, which is a necessary measure to maintain national security,” the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said.
Sysco, a leading global food distribution company, has confirmed that its network was breached earlier this year by attackers who stole sensitive information, including business, customer, and employee data.

Again and again, Washington’s transportation intelligentsia reminds the country of the supply chain’s vital role. Transporting freight, from ports to the consumer, entails serious planning complemented by precision and intention. Logistics firms as well as many commercial transportation stakeholders continue their round-the-clock operations to, simply put, keep everything moving.
Chemical engineering professor Dr. Jodie Lutkenhaus and chemistry assistant professor Dr. Daniel Tabor have published their findings about lithium-free batteries in Nature Materials. Water based or aqueous batteries are different from lithium-ion batteries that contain cobalt. The group’s goal of researching metal-free batteries stems from having better control over the domestic supply chain since cobalt and lithium are only outsourced internationally. This safer chemistry would also prevent battery fires.
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today announced worldwide sales of semiconductors totaled $119.5 billion during the 1Q23, a decrease of 8.7 percent compared to the 4Q22 and 21.3 percent less than the 1Q22. However, the 3MMA sales for the month of March 2023 increased 0.3 percent compared to February 2023. his is the first uptick in sequential three-month moving average (3MMA) since May 2022. Also, the annual decline, while exceptionally deep, was only slightly worse than the 20.7 percent decline reported in February.
