The Uttar Pradesh government has banned construction within 200 meters of the Ganga River to protect its ecology.

The new laws allow only limited activities like repair and conservation of existing structures, with strict rules for ashrams and temples. Construction must not pollute the river and all work must follow environmental norms.

A team of 30 scientists from India's premier institute, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), has submitted a proposal to the government to develop 'angstrom-scale' chips, far smaller than the smallest chips currently in production.

The DPR proposes the development of 2D semiconductors using ultra-thin materials like graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). These materials can enable chip fabrication at the angstrom scale, significantly smaller than current nanometer-scale technologies.

Global technology players have turned their attention to 2D semiconductors. India now needs to move from deliberation to execution. The proposal seeks Rs 500 crore over five years, but there is still no formal assurance. This window may not stay open...
