U.S. Department of State to purchase equipment for seismic stations in Uzbekistan
AKIPRESS.COM - The U.S. Embassy Tashkent delivered approximately $14,000 of loaned equipment to the Republican Center of Seismic Forecasting Monitoring (RCSFM) under the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Uzbekistan on June 2.
The RCSFM, together with the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), will install two temporary seismic stations at Karasai and Koytash, to further understanding of acoustic and infrastructure issues in preparation for a permanent station to be installed later this year.
The Department of State will purchase the equipment for the permanent station planned for Karasai later this year and will also fund installation costs.
Perovskite solar cells have progressed in recent years with rapid increases in power conversion efficiency, making them more competitive with silicon-based photovoltaic cells.

US commits to open source 5G software - Mobile World Live 03 JUN 2021
The US National Science Foundation (NSF) partnered with 35 wireless companies and associations to speed the development of open source standalone (SA) 5G software by opening a dedicated research centre.
Their OpenAirX-Labs (OAX) initiative will be part of the NSF’s Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research and be located in Northeastern University in Boston.
NSF explained the programme will provide a neutral, remotely-accessible laboratory environment in North America, enabling researchers to accelerate development of a stable, compliant, and performant 5G open source software stack.
The facility will coordinate closely with Eurecom in France, which is conducting similar research and is part of OAX.

Climate change problem solvers: startups with solutions
Startups funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation are creating technologies intended to reduce the impact of climate change. From reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and advancing alternative fuels to developing recycling robots and designing new batteries, startups are moving basic research out of the laboratory and toward broad-scale use.
America s Seed Fund, powered by NSF, helps startups navigate the earliest stages of technology translation investing roughly $200 million annually. Each startup can receive up to $2 million to support translational research and development to accelerate the creation of their technology and move it into the marketplace. Here are a few startups with technology solutions for one of the greatest challenges of our time:
