The device made by Robert White and Karl Grosh at the University of Michigan works in the same way as the cochlea in a real ear. It could be used to make cochlear implants in hearing aids as well as sensors for commercial and military applications (Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. to be published). <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://physicsweb.org/articles/news/9/1/12/1" target="blank">physicsweb.org/articles/news/9/1/12/1</a></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
