Education and institutional reform are key to the future of Saudi Arabia and to a lesser extend the rest of the region, according to a study released on Wednesday by the World Economic Forum (WEF).In its latest look at where the Saudi Arabia will be in 20 years time, the WEF points to these areas as the biggest challenges facing the kingdom’s economic and social development.‘Saudi Arabia and the World: Scenarios to 2025’ questions whether the Gulf Arab state will be able to implement necessary economic and political reforms, whether it will be able to maintain internal stability and whether it can develop an environment in which business can flourish.
Existing communications and computer architecture are increasingly being limited by the pedestrian speed of electrons moving through wires, and the future of high-speed communication and computing is in optics, experts say. The Holy Grail of results would be "wireless interconnecting," which operates at speeds 100 to 1,000 times faster than current technology. The new discovery, made by researchers at Oregon State University, the University of Iowa and Philipps University in Germany, has identified a way in which nanoscale devices based on gallium arsenide can respond to strong terahertz pulses for an extremely short period, controlling the electrical signal in a semiconductor. The research builds on previous findings for which OSU holds an issued patent.
