Nanotechnology that incorporates the use of nanomachines and molecular machines is an exciting new area of translational research, with broad potential in biomedical technology and industrial applications. We are developing new molecular machines and optimising their assembly. Recent innovation in the world of nanotechnology concerns the design and manufacture of synthetic and hybrid machines, based on existing biological molecular machines but incorporating synthetic parts. Australia has an opportunity to be at the forefront of these new developments in nanotechnology, with a new generation of Australian scientists being trained across the foundation disciplines of chemistry, physics and molecular biology.Read moreRead less
Accretion and Feedback in Galaxies with Cosmic Time. Australia is a world leader in both astronomy and photonics. This proposal seeks to exploit a revolutionary device that is the first developed from the new cross-over field of astrophotonics. The Gemini Near-infrared OH Suppression IFU System (GNOSIS) instrument will showcase Australian industry development in optical fibres and will keep Australian astronomers at the forefront of international research. This will lead to major advantages wh ....Accretion and Feedback in Galaxies with Cosmic Time. Australia is a world leader in both astronomy and photonics. This proposal seeks to exploit a revolutionary device that is the first developed from the new cross-over field of astrophotonics. The Gemini Near-infrared OH Suppression IFU System (GNOSIS) instrument will showcase Australian industry development in optical fibres and will keep Australian astronomers at the forefront of international research. This will lead to major advantages when developing future instrumentation for next generation telescopes such at the Giant Magellan Telescope, enabling Australia to continue to lead astronomy and astronomical instrumentation into the next decade and beyond.Read moreRead less
A fundamental study of electronic transport in advanced semiconductor nanostructures. The principal aim of this project is to attract and retain very high calibre early career researchers by providing them with the best-available infrastructure and research environment, combined with world-class supervision and mentoring. The project brings together an outstanding team of international collaborators, who will work with the early career researchers to ensure that they are trained and mentored at ....A fundamental study of electronic transport in advanced semiconductor nanostructures. The principal aim of this project is to attract and retain very high calibre early career researchers by providing them with the best-available infrastructure and research environment, combined with world-class supervision and mentoring. The project brings together an outstanding team of international collaborators, who will work with the early career researchers to ensure that they are trained and mentored at an international level. The new science, novel characterisation methods, and theoretical models that are outcomes of this project will provide new opportunities and expertise to advance the strategic defence and national security interests of Australia, and the emerging Australian semiconductor device and solar cell industry.
