Gate-All-Around Transistors, Quantum Refrigerators To Be Targeted By U.S. Export Rules
The trade war between the United States and China took a sharp turn for the tech world earlier this year when the United States' Bureau of Industrial Security added Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei in its Entity List and required American companies to seek government approval before making sales to the company. This move followed concerns that sensitive technology that can be used against American national security interests will make its way into undesirable actors' hands, as per the current administration.
Now, after nearly a year of experience with the list, American authorities are well on their way to classify which exports can be harmful to the country, reports Reuters. The United States Department of Commerce is drafting up five new rules that will limit a specific set of technologies for export. These include Gate-All-Around Field Effect transistors jointly developed by Samsung and IBM, and quantum dilated refrigerators.
Gate-all-around field-effect transistors are expected to be used at the "3nm" node.

Many of the experts who work on dilution refrigerators and these new transistors will be ethnically Chinese. Will the US also limit their speech and movement? The country is not so many steps away from building new internment camps.

They might even be official citizens of China. So after they publish some papers here or various organizations make enough press releases, they'll go back to China and actually build the stuff.
