Nobel laureate program to promote science and technology in Saudi arabia

The program marks a radical departure from the nation’s traditional teaching methods that employ rote memorization. Developing student communication skills and problem-solving abilities will motivate young Saudis to learn more and foster the curiosity that is at the heart of research — and progress.
King Saud University has launched a Nobel laureate program to promote science and technology, develop research and spread a culture of science and innovation with an aim to transform the Kingdom into a knowledge-based society. The university hopes the program will enhance the university’s research and consultancy standards and encourage innovations as well as allowing students and staff to benefit from the experience of the 11 Nobel laureates taking part.
King Saud University has also launched a research-chair project supported by royalty, business, banks and philanthropists to finance research chains in all scientific, social and academic fields. Accordingly, the university will name the chair after the contributors, and the funds will be used to further cooperation with leading Western universities and international research centers.
Another major step in the right direction is introducing English in primary schools throughout the Kingdom.

Wireless interconnecting in USA

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.
