    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The 1EdTech Consortium, Inc. has submitted updates to the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission about changes in its membership as required by the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993. Several institutions, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Swedish National Agency for Education, have joined the group, while some others have withdrawn. This act allows antitrust plaintiffs to only claim actual damages in specific situations. The Consortium will continue to share membership updates to keep the records current.

    Simple Explanation

    The 1EdTech Consortium is like a big team of schools and organizations working together, and they're telling the government about new friends joining or leaving their group. This is important to make sure everything is fair and everyone plays by the same rules, like in a game.

  • 2025-05391 — Massachusetts Institute of Technology, et al.; Notice of Decision on Application for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instruments
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 14073
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The Department of Commerce has approved applications for duty-free entry of several scientific instruments from foreign manufacturers, as no equivalent instruments are made in the United States. The approved instruments, which will be used in research projects at institutions like MIT, Harvard, the University of Michigan, the University of Chicago, and the University of California, Santa Barbara, include lasers and a wave generator system. These tools are intended for advanced scientific experiments, such as quantum physics research, molecular studies, and engineering studies of ship motions in water waves. The decision was made with no public objections.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Commerce is letting colleges, like MIT and Harvard, get special science tools from other countries for free because they can't find these tools in the U.S. These tools will help them explore cool science stuff, like studying tiny particles and how waves work.
