Huawei fires an employee in Poland, following charges of espionage: Wall Street Journal

Chinese telecom giant Huawei fired a sales director arrested in Poland on charges of conducting espionage on behalf of China, The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.  Huawei, the world's second largest maker of smartphones, further distanced itself from the employee, Wang Weijing, by issuing a statement that he had brought the company into "disrepute." It added that the employee's actions "have no relation to the company," and stressed that it complies with the law in all countries.  Prior to the arrest, the employee was responsible for sales of technology to government customers in Poland, an important market for Huawei, the Journal reported.  The news might serve to heighten fears in Washington that Huawei is a threat to national security. Huawei has long denied that, stating that it hasn't been caught up in any spying allegations. Saturday's arrest might change that.  It's the latest high-profile criminal incident involving Huawei in recent months, and follows a week of bad press.  In December, the company's chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, was arrested in Canada on the request of the U.S. government, amid suspicions that she had circumvented sanctions against Iran.  The U.S. has been trying to undermine Huawei's influence, warning about possible ties to Chinese intelligence groups and restricting access to countries' next generation 5G networks. For its part, Huawei has said that it is owned by employees and operates independently of Beijing.  Huawei's troubles have been playing out against the backdrop of the U.S.-China trade dispute, which President Donald Trump has been attempting to negotiate with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Nanodiamonds to prevent fires in lithium batteries
  Nanodiamonds can curtail the electrochemical deposition – called plating – that can lead to hazardous short-circuiting of lithium ion batteries, say researchers at Drexel University, Tsinghua University in Beijing, and Hauzhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China.  To avoid dendrite formation and minimise the probability of fire, current battery designs include one electrode made of graphite filled with lithium instead of pure lithium. The use of graphite as the host for lithium prevents the formation of dendrites. But lithium intercalated graphite also stores about 10 times less energy than pure lithium.  "Small primary batteries in watches use lithium anodes, but they are only discharged once,” Professor Yury Gogotsi said. “When you start charging them again and again, dendrites start growing. There may be several safe cycles, but sooner or later a short-circuit will happen. We want to eliminate or, at least, minimise that possibility."  To make lithium anodes more stable and lithium plating more uniform so that dendrites won't grow, the researchers added nanodiamonds to the electrolyte solution in a battery. Nanodiamonds have been used in the electroplating industry for some time as a way of making metal coatings more uniform. When they are deposited, they naturally slide together to form a smooth surface.  The researchers found that lithium ions can easily attach to nanodiamonds, so that they plate the electrode in the same orderly manner as the nanodiamond particles to which they're linked. The team reports that mixing nanodiamonds into the electrolyte solution of a lithium ion battery slows dendrite formation to nil through 100 charge-discharge cycles.  According to the team, the breakthrough means that a great increase in energy storage is possible because dendrite formation can be eliminated in pure lithium electrodes.

Toshiba <span style='color:red'>Fire</span>s Back at Western Digital, Seeks $1.1B in Damages
  Toshiba Corp. said Wednesday (June 28) it filed suit against NAND flash technology development partner Western Digital Corp. (WDC), asking a Tokyo court to prevent Western Digital from further interfering with the proposed sale of its semiconductor spin off, Toshiba Memory.  The complaint, filed with the Tokyo District Court, seeks an injunction against WD as well as 120 billion yen (about $1.1 billion) in damages. Toshiba also said it would bar WD from accessing information about the joint venture between the two companies.  The lawsuit is the latest development in a feud between the two companies over the proposed sale of Toshiba's memory chip business, including its stake in the manufacturing joint venture between the two firms. Toshiba announced earlier this year that it would sell its semiconductor business to help offset massive losses by its U.S. nuclear power division. Toshiba announced last week that its preferred buyer for the spin off, Toshiba Memory, is a consortium that includes Innovation Network Corp. of Japan (INCJ) and private equity firm Bain Capital.  In a statement issued Wednesday, Toshiba said WD has exaggerated its rights regarding the joint venture between the two firms. WD maintains that Toshiba must obtain WD's approval to sell its stake in the joint venture to another entity.  Toshiba also claims that WD improperly obtained Toshiba trade secrets by transferring employees of its subsidiary, SanDisk, to WD. Toshiba and SanDisk maintained a long-running collaboration on NAND flash technology development and manufacturing prior to WD's acquisition of SanDisk last year. Toshiba said it would immediately block WD's access to information related to the joint venture between the two firms after WD rejected a contract covering the access to that information.  WD did not immediately respond Wednesday to request for comment on the Toshiba lawsuit.  WD sued Toshiba earlier this month, asking a San Francisco court to halt the sale of Toshiba Memory pending the results of an arbitration hearing between the two companies on the matter that WD requested in May.  WD would like to acquire Toshiba Memory and previously asked Toshiba for exclusive negotiating rights to buy the unit. It was widely reported Tuesday that WD submitted a revised bid for Toshiba Memory in conjunction with a partner, private equity firm KKR & Co.  In choosing the INCJ consortium as its prefered bidder, Toshiba complied with the wishes of the Japanese government, which wants Toshiba's semiconductor technology to remain in Japan. However, Toshiba said Wednesday that it would not meet its self-imposed June 28 deadline for having an agreement in place to sell Toshiba Memory due to differences of opinion by the various firms involved in the consortium. Toshiba said it intends to continue negotiating the consortium to reach a definitive agreement as soon as possible.  Meanwhile, Toshiba and WD also announced this week that the two companies' joint venture has successfully developed its next-generation 3D NAND technology, BiCS4, with 96 layers of vertical storage capability. The technology will initially be deployed in a 256-gigabit chip and will subsequently ship in a range of capacities, including a terabit on a single chip, according to WD.
