FROM the back of an old Arnott’s van, he screened the first ever television broadcast in Australia during the Queen’s royal tour in 1954. Fifteen years later, he ran tracking stations for NASA and provided the signal that relayed man’s first landing on the moon. But it is nanoscience that has John Hooke more excited than ever about communications in ... Read More »
