Electrons move through a conducting material like commuters at the heights of Manhattan rush hour. The charged particles may jostle and bump against each other, but for the most part they’re unconcerned with other electrons as they hurtle forward, each with their own energy.
But when a material’s electrons are trapped together, they can settle into the exact same energy state and start to behave as one. This collective, zombie-like state is what’s known in physics as an electronic “flat band,” and scientists predict that when electrons are in this state they can start to feel the quantum effects of…

UK opens electronic travel authorization scheme
The UK’s electronic travel authorization (ETA) scheme has officially opened for Qatari nationals who, from today, need one to travel to the UK.
This landmark opening demonstrates the UK government’s delivery in transforming and digitizing the UK border, enabling an increasingly seamless customer experience in the future for the millions of legitimate visitors who come to the UK.
Qataris have been able to apply for their ETA since 25 October 2023, with most doing so using the mobile app, which allows for a simple and fast application.
Last year, the UK welcomed almost 800,000 visitors from the Gulf, 45,000 of…
New BIS norms to speed up electronics, IT hardware Companies’ compliance process
New Delhi: Electronics and IT hardware makers can save as much as 4 to 13 weeks in compliance process with the latest guidelines issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for implementing parallel testing of their products, an industry body said.
The BIS on January 9 announced that the pilot project on parallel testing for select electronics goods would be institutionalized as a permanent provision, covering a total of 64 products under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS).
Manufacturers can opt for parallel testing voluntarily, while those preferring the traditional sequential method can continue to do so.
“The voluntary adoption…

When Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad in 2010, he didn’t just usher in a new kind of computing device – the first mainstream touchscreen tablet – he also promised a new model for internet-based publishing: paid subscriptions.

PEI leads the way with electronic medical record systems
Prince Edward Island is leading the country with its recently implemented, province-wide, electronic medical records system.
It’s a key part of the island’s fundamental family medicine reorganization, a move which officials hope will finally strike a serious blow against the ongoing healthcare crisis.
The vast majority of family doctors on PEI are now using an electronic medical record to manage the treatment of their patients.
Just two years ago 70 per cent of island general practitioners were primarily using paper records, and the rest were using what amounted to a virtual filling cabinet.
The new system is standardized, allowing doctors…
White House pushes for renewal of electronic surveillance law provisions | Biden administration
The White House is stepping up pressure on lawmakers to renew a section of electronic surveillance law which allows the government to conduct targeted surveillance of foreign persons located outside the US.
The provision, known as section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (Fisa), is set to expire at the end of the year. But its renewal is facing pushback from privacy advocates and lawmakers, some citing examples in which law enforcement search requests were misused to conduct illegal surveillance on US citizens.
On Monday, Joe Biden’s administration circulated examples showing the US had used electronic surveillance under section…
Gulf and Jordanian visitors to pay £10 for an ETA
Nationals from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states and Jordan will soon only be required to pay £10 to apply for an ETA, which will allow them to visit the UK multiple times over a two-year period. This is compared to Gulf nationals currently paying £30 per visit to the UK under the current Electronic Visa Wavier (EVW) scheme and Jordanian nationals £100 for a visit visa.
The scheme is set to launch for Qatari nationals in October 2023, and for the rest of the Gulf Cooperation Council states and Jordan in February 2024 ahead of a worldwide expansion throughout…
