India resumes electronic visa services for Canadians

India restored electronic visa services for Canadian nationals, an Indian foreign ministry official said Wednesday, two months after Canada alleged the South Asian nation was involved in the assassination of a Sikh separatist in Canada. The electronic visa was back in order on Wednesday, an official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to reporters. Sources also confirmed the move to CBC News. The move could ease tensions between the two countries that swapped accusations and expelled each other’s diplomats with India introducing a visa ban on Canadian nationals. A diplomatic spat…

Physicists trap electrons in a 3D crystal for the first time | MIT News

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…

Flexing the Lifespan of AI-Enabled Electronic Devices | News & Events | Computer Science

When it comes to electronic waste, “WEEE” is not an exclamation of excitement but rather an indicator of a global crisis. “Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment” is steadily increasing as technology advances: about 50 million metric tons of WEEE are generated annually worldwide, which is expected to increase to 111 million tons per year by 2050. While retrofitting devices, from cell phones to vehicles, faces many challenges – it is often easier and more affordable to buy new – researchers see promise in novel machine learning-enabled cyber-physical systems (LE-CPSs) to build flexibility into hardware and thus increase lifespan, reduce…
