Russian Physicist Receives 12-Year Treason Sentence

A Russian physicist, Anatoly Gubanov, has been sentenced to 12 years in a penal colony on treason charges for allegedly passing secret hypersonic development materials to colleagues from the Netherlands. Gubanov, the former head of the Aerodynamics of Aircrafts and Rockets Department at TsAGI, pleaded guilty but requested a penalty below the minimum sentence, which was denied. The charges against him and his colleague, Valery Golubkin, who was also employed on the project, have raised concerns about the state's increasing paranoia toward scientific cooperation with foreign countries and its potential chilling effect on young researchers.

Uncertain Future for US-China Science Collaboration as Extension Requested

The future of scientific collaboration between the US and China is uncertain as the US-China Science and Technology Agreement, which facilitates such collaborations, is set to expire. US legislators are urging the agreement to be allowed to expire due to concerns about intellectual property and China's military objectives. However, scientists argue that failure to renew the agreement would hinder progress on transnational issues like climate change. China has become a global leader in scientific research, but concerns have been raised about the quality of its research, particularly in fields like computer science. The souring ties between the US and China, along with restrictions and fear of collaboration, have already slowed down scientific collaborations between the two countries, which could undermine cutting-edge scientific advancements.
