Huang placed his children Spencer and Madison and his son-in-law Nico Caprez in positions of responsibility. Madison heads the Omniverse software division and Spencer the robotics area; Caprez is one of four vice presidents. The company lacked a number two and a chairman with institutional duties.

China develops a process that turns wind turbine blades into graphene with a half-second discharge
Researchers at Tsinghua University developed a process that uses a half-second electrical discharge to convert wind turbine blades into graphene and silicon carbide. The blades are crushed into powder, mixed with carbon black and subjected to Joule heating up to about 2000 degrees. The recovered material, added at 0.3% by weight to epoxy resin, increased tensile stiffness by 27%. The results are from laboratory tests and the challenge is scaling them up.

FireSat, Google's satellite technology to detect wildfires, and Colombia's possible access
FireSat, a project initially driven by Google Research and now managed by the nonprofit Earth Fire Alliance, aims to monitor wildfires with a constellation of about 50 satellites able to identify car-sized fires within 10 to 20 minutes. Four satellites are already in orbit and Google develops the artificial intelligence tools that process the imagery. Colombia could access the data through the early access program for governments.
