The UK’s new Electronic Travel Authorization scheme (ETA) will cost visitors to the country £10 when it starts being phased later this year.
The ETA, which will operate in a similar way to the existing ESTA system for non-visa travelers to the US, will launch in October for Qatari nationals.
The UK system will then be extended to passport holders from the rest of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states and Jordan in February 2024 before a worldwide expansion throughout 2024, which will include travelers from the US and EU countries, except for Ireland.
Travelers will apply for an ETA…
Airborne electronic attack is a crucial capability for gaining an advantage in the electromagnetic spectrum. It includes:
Disabling, degrading and denying enemy air defenses by overwhelming them with radio frequency energy.
Deceiving them using electronic decoys.
Disrupting enemy threats through jamming their radar and communications systems.
By interfering with enemy communications, radar systems and sensors, it ensures superiority on the battlefield and enables forces to carry out missions with reduced risks and increased operational effectiveness.
Today’s jammers are updated versions of mechanical systems that first flew in the Vietnam War. But the airspace has evolved into the digital age –…
Two Indian industry associations – the India Electronics & Semiconductor Association (IESA) and the India SME Forum- have supported the continuation of prohibition of imposing customs duties on electronic transmissions at the World Trade Organization (WTO), citing it to be important for supply chain resilience post Covid.
The two industry bodies made this submission to the global trade watchdog as part of a consortium of around 170 global associations. The submission comes amid India and South Africa pushing hard for the prohibition to end as it leads to revenue loss and are interested in an outcome on the issue before…
key role in electron transport, reveals a recent study conducted by researchers at Tokyo Tech. Through simultaneous surface-enhanced Raman scattering and current–voltage measurements, they found that a single dimer junction of naphthalenethiol molecule shows three different bondings, namely π—π intermolecular and through-π and through-space molecule–electrode interactions.
The π—π interaction is a type of noncovalent interaction that occurs when the electron clouds in the π orbitals of aromatic rings or π-conjugated molecular systems overlap. This interaction enables an efficient movement of electrons between the molecules, offering the potential to design materials with unique electronic properties. The structure of the junctions formed…
We think a lot about where products come from when we buy them, less so about where they go when we’re finished. When we throw things away, this is “away”: mountains of garbage across acres of land, with tens of thousands of people shifting through it, in places like the African nation of Ghana.
In Ghana, e-waste exported by the West is mined for valuable metals and other materials.
