Harvard Magazine - Jan/Feb 2011: RIGHT NOW | MAN AND MACHINE - Virus-Sized Transistors

Hyman professor of chemistry Charles Lieber and his colleagues used nanowires to create a transistor so small that it can be used to enter and probe cells without disrupting the intracellular machinery. These nanoscale semiconductor switches could even be used to enable two-way communication with individual cells.

Lieber has worked for the past decade on the design and synthesis of nanoscale parts that will enable him to build tiny electronic devices (which means the tech has been around for 20+ years).

Arrested in mid-January 2020:

NY Post 1.28.2020: Harvard professor charged for lying about $1.5M Chinese research scheme

Charles Lieber is accused of receiving more than $1.5 million to establish a lab and do research at Wuhan University, according to prosecutors, who said he was paid hundreds of thousands more over several years

United Stated Department of Justice - Office of Public Affairs: Harvard University Professor and Two Chinese Nationals Charged in Three Separate China Related Cases

According to court documents, since 2008, Dr. Lieber who has served as the Principal Investigator of the Lieber Research Group at Harvard University, which specialized in the area of nanoscience, has received more than $15,000,000 in grant funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Department of Defense (DOD).

Obviously it’s all a coincidence that this researcher who developed viral nanomachines and was paid $15M by the DOD/NIH just happened to be arrested for colluding with WUT within 10 days of the first case of Wuhan coronavirus dropping in the USA.

Nothing to see here, folks.
