Teaching computers to see and high-speed contactless screening for diseases using T-rays are the aims of two 成人大片 projects announced today in the Australian Research Council's (ARC) scheme.

The 成人大片 has been awarded a record $6.8 million for nine projects - 65% of the total funding awarded to South Australian 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.

成人大片 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 成人大片.

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