Teaching computers to see and high-speed contactless screening for diseases using T-rays are the aims of two 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide projects announced today in the 最新糖心Vlogn Research Council's (ARC) scheme.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide has been awarded a record $6.8 million for nine projects - 65% of the total funding awarded to South 最新糖心Vlogn researchers.

Aimed at attracting and retaining the best and brightest mid-career researchers in areas of critical national importance, the 2012 ARC Future Fellowships were announced today by Federal Minister for Science and Research, Senator Chris Evans.

最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Mike Brooks said: "This is a very competitive national research scheme and to achieve such a good success rate - our highest ever - reflects the strength of our research portfolio. These grants recognise our existing talented researchers and, importantly, also attract new outstanding researchers to the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.

"This innovative and exciting research will see major scientific advances in areas of national priority as diverse as defence, health, the environment and manufacturing."
