AWS is pleased to introduce an update to the AWS Well-Architected Framework: IoT Lens. The IoT Lens provides simple and detailed guidance to build IoT workloads on AWS. This updated version aims to address questions around complexity, security, performance, cost, and technical risk. Introduction Designing Internet of Things (IoT) workloads can be challenging as sensors, devices, software applications, agents, and cloud services must be designed to optimize how they work together. It’s also important to balance the trade-offs to support your solution’s business context. Questions you might consider: How does will it work in practice? Which guiding principles should I…

Atomic-scale strain created during growth turns out to be the hidden lever controlling excitons in WS2 layered on graphene. Study: Excitons in Epitaxially Grown WS2 on Graphene: A Nanometer-Resolved Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory Study. Image Credit: BCKGRDS/Shutterstock.com Researchers have shown that lattice distortions created during epitaxial growth, rather than dielectric screening alone, can directly reshape exciton energies in WS2 layered on graphene, revealing a new level of structural control over 2D optoelectronic materials. Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), particularly tungsten disulfide (WS2), are central to emerging optoelectronic and valleytronic technologies. When thinned to a single layer,…

I have been blogging here for the last 20 years. Every Tuesday and Thursday, quite consistently, for two decades. But last year, without planning it, I got tired and stopped. Not sure why. It didn’t correspond with any life events. Nothing interesting or notable happened. I just stopped. I did find joy on TikTok and amassed a small group of like-minded followers there. I enjoy my YouTube as well, and my weekly podcast is going strong with nearly 900 (!) episodes of interviews with cool people. I’ve also recently started posting on Mastodon (a fediverse (federated universe)) Twitter…

Google is expanding its push into consumer finance in India with the launch of a UPI-linked credit card, betting on a country of more than 1.4 billion people where fewer than 50 million currently hold a credit card. On Wednesday, Google entered India’s growing co-branded credit card market with the launch of Flex by Google Pay, partnering with private lender Axis Bank to expand access to credit in the country’s UPI-driven payments ecosystem. India’s rapid adoption of digital payments through the government-backed Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has transformed how consumers pay but has not translated into broad access to credit.…

TCS’ acquisition of Coastal Cloud comes in response to mounting pressures reshaping the Salesforce services market. As Salesforce expands further into Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled capabilities such as Agentforce and Data Cloud, the talent  and solutioning requirements have outpaced what traditional providers can typically build organically.   The recent platform advancements are aimed at automating parts of the value chain, potentially reducing the volume of traditional work available to Global System Integrators (GSIs) and intensifying the pressure to acquire specific capabilities. A few specialist Salesforce service providers have been quicker to build these new-age skills through more agile, hands-on delivery models.  For a provider such as TCS that has historically anchored in large-scale implementations and has gone down an organic route, the competitive gap risk has become more visible as the…
