A team of engineers at Pennsylvania State University has unveiled the first-ever computer made from atomically thin materials, marking a bold step beyond traditional silicon-based electronics.
Rather than relying on the industry-standard silicon, the researchers constructed a CMOS logic system using two two-dimensional materials: molybdenum disulfide (used for n-type transistors) and tungsten diselenide (used for p-type). These ultra-thin semiconductors, only a few atoms thick, are known for retaining their electrical performance at nanoscale sizes.
Professor Saptarshi Das, who led the initiative, explained the motivation behind the work: “As silicon-based devices approach their physical limits, the industry must explore materials that continue to function reliably at atomic dimensions.”
The team employed metal-organic chemical vapor deposition to grow precise layers of each 2D material. After manufacturing over 1,000 of each transistor type, they managed to assemble a functioning CMOS logic circuit—a basic computer capable of performing essential logic instructions at up to 25 kilohertz.
What makes this even more significant is its energy profile. The system operates at lower voltages and consumes minimal power, making it ideal for future applications in flexible electronics, biomedical implants, and next-gen IoT devices.
While this early-stage computer lacks the speed or complexity of modern processors, it represents a critical proof of concept. “This is a foundational moment,” said Subir Ghosh, co-author and PhD researcher. “We now have a functional logic device entirely based on 2D materials—something that was theoretical just a few years ago.”
As researchers continue to explore how to scale and integrate these materials into larger systems, the age of post-silicon computing seems closer than ever.
Lahore, Pakistan, June 16, 2025 — Xiaomi and Polyphony Digital today announced a landmark partnership at Round One of the Gran Turismo World Series 2025.

There was a time when the arrival of foreign brands in Pakistan was met with genuine excitement and optimism, seen as a sign of integration into the global economy and an opportunity for local consumers and businesses alike.
Those days, however, are behind us. Today, what Pakistan needs is not just the presence of foreign players, but responsible investment – investment that creates opportunities, fosters competition on fair terms, and contributes meaningfully to local development.
We cannot afford to celebrate market entry when it comes at the cost of turning Pakistan into a dumping ground for low-cost surplus goods, with no regard for the long-term health of our economy or the livelihoods of our people.
E-commerce is one of Pakistan’s strongest bets for creating opportunity among underserved populations seeking sustainable income streams. However, make no mistake, Temu’s entry into Pakistan is not a the start of a new phase; it is a direct and alarming assault on the country’s already fragile local economy. Far from fostering meaningful competition or offering genuine consumer choice, Temu’s aggressive expansion threatens to dismantle the very foundation of Pakistan’s small businesses, entrepreneurs, and community-based sellers, many of whom have spent years building their livelihoods with resilience and perseverance.
Temu’s competitive advantage does not stem from superior service or innovation. It operates on an uneven playing field, circumventing the regulatory frameworks, tax obligations, and consumer protection standards that local businesses are required to meet. By flooding the market with ultra-low-cost goods, often of questionable quality, while making no meaningful financial or legal commitments to Pakistan, Temu forces sellers, particularly women-led home businesses and SME shopkeepers, into an impossible race to the bottom. Each heavily discounted item Temu promotes is a direct threat to the survival of local entrepreneurship.
The warning signs are already clear internationally. American retail giant Forever 21 cited the rise of Temu and Shein as a contributing factor in its bankruptcy filings, highlighting how platforms operating outside conventional regulatory structures and exploiting labour cost differentials have made responsible retail models unsustainable. Pakistan, with its deeper structural economic vulnerabilities, cannot afford to ignore these signals.
The consequences of Temu’s model are disproportionately severe for women entrepreneurs. Across Pakistan, thousands of women have built micro-enterprises, offering clothing, crafts, and home-based services that allow them financial independence in a country where female labour force participation remains among the lowest globally. Temu’s predatory pricing practices threaten to wipe out years of patient community-building and entrepreneurial risk-taking, stripping these women not only of income but of dignity, agency, and their critical contribution to grassroots economic growth.
The damage is not confined to sellers alone. Temu’s operational approach is actively corroding consumer trust in Pakistan’s nascent e-commerce sector. Delays in delivery, misrepresented products, poor customer service, and impractical return processes are becoming the defining features of the Temu experience for Pakistani buyers. In a country where digital commerce is still in its formative stages, these experiences have consequences that ripple far beyond Temu’s own customer base. When consumers are disappointed by a Temu purchase, they often become wary of online shopping altogether, unfairly punishing local businesses that have invested heavily in building transparency, reliability, and customer care. Temu’s negligence is systematically poisoning trust across the entire digital economy.
Adding to the concern is the reality that Temu contributes nothing of value to Pakistan’s economy. It does not create local jobs, invest in infrastructure, or support community development. It does not partner meaningfully with local businesses nor seek to build supply chains rooted in the country’s economic fabric. Instead, it uses Pakistan as a dumping ground for surplus production, extracting profits while leaving behind weakened industries, rising consumer dissatisfaction, and a growing sense of economic disempowerment. The consequences are particularly devastating in rural and semi-urban areas, where small enterprises are often the only sources of employment and opportunity.
Other countries have recognised the existential threat posed by such platforms and acted accordingly. Indonesia moved decisively to restrict cross-border e-commerce platforms operating without local registration, citing the urgent need to protect domestic SMEs and market stability. Vietnam and Uzbekistan also took similar steps. Pakistan, however, remains on the sidelines, exposing its domestic economy to dismantling in real time without so much as a serious regulatory debate.
There is no ambiguity about what needs to be done. Pakistan must urgently introduce legislation requiring foreign e-commerce platforms to formally register within the country, maintain a physical presence for local accountability, and contribute fairly to the national tax system. These platforms must be held to rigorous consumer protection standards, ensuring that sellers, whether foreign or domestic, are equally accountable for product quality, delivery transparency, and customer redressal. Access to Pakistan’s consumer base must be conditioned upon clear obligations to invest back into the economy through local employment, training programs, and partnerships with domestic enterprises. Fair competition must be enforced as a fundamental principle, not treated as an optional standard only local businesses are forced to uphold.
Pakistani entrepreneurs should not be expected to compete against unregulated foreign platforms that contribute nothing while extracting profits from already struggling markets. If Pakistan fails to act, the cost will not simply be the closure of a few businesses, it will be the systematic dismantling of the country’s entrepreneurial backbone, the erosion of consumer trust, and the forfeiture of the very future that the digital economy was once poised to deliver.

Oman’s Ministry of Health has rolled out several new initiatives aimed at slashing waiting times for essential medical services at Khoula Hospital and Al Nahda Hospital. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare delivery in the country.
Reducing MRI Scan Delays
A major focus of these initiatives is reducing MRI scan waiting times. Khoula Hospital, with support from the Directorate General and under the patronage of Health Minister Dr. Hilal Ali Al Sabti, is leading this effort. The hospital plans to perform 12,000 MRI scans over the next year, with daily targets of 45 to 50 scans on weekdays and 20 on weekends. This initiative is expected to reduce MRI waiting times from the previous 16-month wait to under four weeks.
Expanding Endoscopy Services
The Ministry is also enhancing endoscopy services at both Khoula and Al Nahda hospitals. The number of endoscopy rooms has been increased from one to three, a change that is expected to reduce waiting times for these procedures from one year to just two months. The goal is to further reduce routine appointment waits to four weeks.

Boosting Surgical Capacity
To further reduce waiting times, the Ministry has launched several surgical initiatives. One such initiative aims to perform 1,000 tonsil and adenoid removal surgeries within a year, at a rate of 83 surgeries per month. This is supported by the activation of additional operating rooms in Khoula Hospital’s Day Care Building.
The Ministry is also planning 1,000 knee replacement surgeries over the next year, with 27 surgeries scheduled weekly, including on weekends. This initiative is designed to reduce knee replacement waiting times from 700 days to just 120 days.
Focus on Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is another priority for the Ministry. The plan includes performing 1,500 cataract surgeries over the next year, with 1,000 surgeries at Al-Nahda Hospital and 500 at Khoula Hospital. This initiative aims to reduce the cataract surgery waiting list by 50%, with an average of eight surgeries scheduled daily.
Evening Clinics and Specialized Care
To further address the issue of long waiting times, an evening clinic has been introduced at Al-Nahda Hospital’s Dentistry and Oral, Maxillofacial Surgery Department. This clinic is expected to treat over 900 patients in the next three months, reducing emergency case wait times to two weeks and routine appointments to less than six weeks.
Additionally, the Ministry has launched a program to expedite dental treatments for special needs patients under general anesthesia. This program aims to complete these treatments within four months, supported by increased operating room availability during weekdays.
Improving Financial Efficiency
In addition to patient care initiatives, the Ministry has introduced a revenue cycle management program at Khoula Hospital. This program is designed to improve the operational efficiency of the hospital’s billing system, which is critical for maintaining its role as a key center for emergencies and disaster response.
