UK Graeme Clark Scholarship

The Cochlear UK Graeme Clark Scholarship Award provides college age students a grant for tuition, for students either currently completing their final year of school and who have been accepted onto a university or other tertiary education course; mature-aged students who have been accepted onto a university or other tertiary education course; or students currently undertaking a university degree of other tertiary education.
The award was established in 2002 in honour of Professor Graeme Clark to thank him for his lifelong pursuit of finding a solution for the hearing impaired and his pioneering work in the field of cochlear implant technology. Professor Clark, Professor of the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Melbourne, invented the world’s first multi-channel cochlear implant over 25 years ago.
A cochlear implant is a small electronic device which consists of an external processor that sits behind the ear and a second element that is surgically placed under the skin. A cochlear implant does not restore normal hearing but can give someone with a severe to profound hearing loss access to a world of sound.

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.
