Judge temporarily blocks DOE’s move to slash university research funding
A group of universities led by the American Association of Universities (AAU) acted swiftly to oppose a policy action by the Department of Energy that would cut the funds it pays to universities for the indirect costs of research under DOE grants. The group filed suit Monday, April 14, challenging a what it termed a “flagrantly unlawful action” that could “devastate scientific research at America’s universities.”
By Wednesday, the U.S. District Court judge hearing the case issued a temporary restraining order effective nationwide, preventing the DOE from implementing the policy or terminating any existing grants.

Adsorption and desorption of D2O or H2O, as a simulator of HTO, on iron surface covered with thin iron oxide film were studied by thermal desorption (TD), electron stimulated desorption (ESD), photon stimulated desorption (PSD), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). When the iron was heated under constant heating rate (5K/min), adsorbed D2O was desorbed around 400K and 600K. Adsorbed D2O which could not be desorbed by heating to 773K could be desorbed by irradiation with photon or bombardment with electron.
