develop a bill that can define critical but also allow that definition to evolve with advances in technology, fluctuations in mineral availability, and the ever-changing economic landscape. It is also difficult to draft a bill that strikes the right balance between protecting the environment and revamping the complex and time-consuming permitting process. The Critical Minerals Policy Act of 2013 is the result of years of work and compromise by Senators and staffers on both sides of the aisle, and it attempts to set up a policy that will protect the environment while also creating a secure domestic critical minerals supply. While it remains to be seen if the Critical Minerals Policy Act of 2013 can garner the necessary support to become law, it is an
important step forward to addressing US reliance on non-US sources for critical minerals supplies. The full text of the bill can be found on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources website (www.energy.senate. gov), and in addition to the sponsors listed earlier, Senators Mike Enzi (RWyo.), Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), John Thune (R-S.D.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Mary Landrieu (D-La.), Dan Coats (R-Ind.), Mark Begich (D-Alaska), Jim Risch (RIdaho), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Al Franken (D-Minn.), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), and Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) have signed on to co-sponsor this legislation.

so-called fringe properties, such as residual stresses and rigidity. However, it is precisely these properties that are of decisive importance for the life span and the operating behavior of components, because stresses in the form of operating loads impact the component from the surface. It is therefore important to obtain a better understanding of the procedures involved in the manufacturing process that result in a change in materials properties. Participating institutions are RWTH Aachen University and Oklahoma State University, USA. The transregional CRC “Tailored Nonlinear Photonics: From Fundamental Concepts to Functional Structures” will primarily concentrate on the physical principles and applications of non-linear light-matter interactions. One area of focus is the linking of promising concepts from quantum optics, coherent optics, and optoelectronics for the development of customized nonlinear photonic structures. A variety of applications in photonic information and quantum technology is planned for these new components. The host is the University of Paderborn, with spokesperson Prof. Dr. Artur Zrenner, and participating institution, Technical □ University of Dortmund.

he Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) has approved the establishment of nine new Collaborative Research Centers (CRCs), three of which have a materials research focus. The new CRCs will receive a total of €64.4 million for an initial period of three years and nine months and a 20% program allowance for indirect project costs. The Gra
