Chakr Innovation. Chakr Innovation is a cleantech startup based in India specializing in material science technology. The company was founded by graduates from IIT Delhi and works in the fields of air and environmental protection. Chakr Innovation is the first company in India to receive type approval certification for their retrofit emission control device (RECD) from labs approved by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). They have over 15 patents filed, and their work has been recognized across the globe by reputed organizations like the United Nations, WWF, Forbes, and the like.

History
Chakr Innovation was founded in 2016 by Kushagra Srivastava, Arpit Dhupar and Bharti Singhla - graduates from IIT Delhi, to reduce pollution with the help of innovation and technology. The idea began with a group of friends having sugarcane juice at a shop with a wall turned black because of soot particles coming out of the diesel generator exhaust used for crushing sugarcane.

Chakr Innovation launched Chakr Shield in 2017, one year after its incorporation. The device could reduce the particulate matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) emission from a diesel generator by up to 90%. In 2022, the company introduced a dual fuel kit that would allow a diesel generator to run on fossil fuel and natural gas simultaneously in a 30 to 70 ratio.

Products
Chakr Shield is a patented Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD) by Chakr Innovation. It was also the first in India to get a Type Approval Certification from CPCB-certified labs like ICAT and ARAI for its capability to reduce the pollution from diesel generators by up to 90%.

The Chakr Dual Fuel Kit uses technology to allow a diesel generator set to operate on a mixture of gas and diesel as a fuel, with 70% natural gas and 30% fossil fuel. This can be a perfect conversion kit for industries with access to gas pipeline networks. With the launch of this product, Chakr Innovation reportedly became the only turnkey solution provider in India to control the emissions from diesel generators.

In 2020, Chakr Innovation launched a decontamination cabinet for N95 masks with the help of ozone gas. Ozone is a strong oxidizing agent that destroys viruses and bacteria by diffusing through their protein coats. Chakr DeCoV reportedly inactivated SARS-CoV-2 and reduced the bacterial load by 99.9999%, allowing N95 masks to be reused up to 10 times.

2022–2023 University of Sheffield protests. The 2022–2023 University of Sheffield protests were student protests at the University of Sheffield in England. The protests ended in October 2023.

Background 
The protests was in reaction to the University of Sheffield working with and accepting payment for various activities from companies including Rolls Royce, BAE Systems, and Boeing who are involved in the arms manufacturing industry.

Timeline

2022

Occupations 
On 24 October 2022 Sheffield Action Group occupied the faculty of engineering's "The Diamond" building at the University of Sheffield. The group held up banners in support of removing companies involved in the arms industry from campus. In response to the occupation, the university relocated all teaching activities to other venues around campus. On 28 October 2022 High Court enforcement evicted the students from the building.

On 24 November 2022 Sheffield Action Group occupied the Hicks Building in solidarity with the University and College Union, and to continue to demand arms companies be removed from campus.

2023

Occupations 

On 12 February 2023 the group occupied the Jessop West building, and on 15 February 2023 they occupied the Hicks Building again, later expanding to occupy five buildings.

On 28 September 2023 around 7 pm 20 students occupied Arts Tower, both in protest against arms companies on campus and in solidarity with the ongoing UCU strikes. The occupation is currently ongoing. Classes due to take place in this building are being relocated or ran online, and the university HR department has been disrupted as a result of the occupation.

Incidents 
 During the Diamond Building occupation in 2022, security reportedly locked occupying student's personal belongings away, including medication.
 During the Hicks Building occupation in 2022, security locked fire exits and doors.

Investigation 
The university has been criticised for its handling of the occupations after two students received letters on 9 November 2022 stating that the university has hired private investigation firm Intersol Global to look in to possible involvement in the occupations. The university spent £39,615 on the investigation in total. Both students were able to prove they were not in the city. They believe they were profiled for earlier activism work.

The university was again criticised for using another firm, Horus Security Consultancy Ltd, which provided the university with information about a at the university group called Solidarity Slate.

By the end of 2025, 15 sets are planned on being produced and by the end of 2030, 56 sets are planned on being produced.

Production and testing history
In 2013, TÜVASAŞ was tasked with the production of domestically-produced diesel and electrical multiple unit trains. TÜVASAŞ originally planned on first delivering the electrical, and later the diesel multiple units, with a deadline to test the first prototype in December 2018. This date was then postponed to 2020, and later 2022. In 2020, with TÜVASAŞ merging with other railcar producers to form TÜRASAŞ, responsibility of the project was transferred to TÜRASAŞ.

The prototype units were manufactured with a goal of being 65% domestically produced, with the mass produced units having a goal of being 75% domestically made. The traction motor, transformer, transmission, control and management system are all supplied by Aselsan. The train was planned to reach an operational speed of  by the end of 2023, but this has since been made its own project.

The testing of the first five E44000 units produced at the Turkish Wagon Production Factory () began in June 2020. After test drives that started in July 2021, 10000 kilometers were covered as of September 2022. As of April 2023, 3 sets had been completed, with a total of 56 sets being planned to be produced by 2030.

Terbium(III) perchlorate. Terbium perchlorate refers to an inorganic compound having chemical formula Tb(ClO4)3(H2O)x.  Usually this salt is encountered as its hexahydrate. This terbium(III) compound can be obtained by treating terbium(III,IV) oxide with perchloric acid. The perchlorates are non-coordinating anions, so this substance can be used as a starting material for forming Tb(III) complexes. For example, reaction with alanine forms a complex in which the carboxylate portion of four alanine units bridge between two terbium atoms. It can be used to synthesize terbium-containing metal-organic framework materials.

Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites program. DARPA's Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites (RSGS) program leverages commercial space technology to inspect and repair aging or broken satellites in the geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO), about 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) from Earth.

Background 
According to DARPA, no options exist for visual diagnosis, upgrades, or repairs of a malfunctioning satellite's components, thus rendering these satellites space junk. In 2020, DARPA selected Northrop Grumman's subsidiary SpaceLogistics as its RSGS partner. The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory designed and developed the RSGS robotic arm with DARPA funding. The robotic arm has completed key tests and is on track to be launched to GEO in 2024 by Northrop Grumman's 3000-kilogram spacecraft. After launch in 2024, there will be a period for checkout and calibration activities. The DARPA robotic mechanic is anticipated to start making on-orbit service calls in space in 2025.
