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...

Cabs operating under Ola, Uber and Rapido will charge fares according to the Maharashtra govt. approved rates from May 1 in Pune, Pimpri, Chinchwad and Baramati.
The new Maharashtra government-approved cab rates are โน37 for the first 1.5 km and โน25 for every additional kilometer, starting May 1 in Pune, Pimpri Chinchwad, and Baramati.
This will make fares noticeably higher than current app-based pricesโfor example, a 10 km ride will now cost about โน249.50, compared to the current average of โน175 for the same distance, so yes, expect a significant increase. #Policy
