Summary
An advanced electron microscope facility for nanomaterials, functional materials and minerals. An advanced electron microscope facility for nanomaterials, functional materials and minerals: Recent advances in electron microscopy provide instruments that can resolve at the atomic level and image both morphologically and chemically at these resolutions. These modern instruments are also less complex to operate therefore allowing many more researchers to access them directly.

An advanced electron microscope facility for nanomaterials, functional materials and minerals: Recent advances in electron microscopy provide instruments that can resolve at the atomic level and image both morphologically and chemically at these resolutions. These modern instruments are also less complex to operate therefore allowing many more researchers to access them directly. The High Resolution Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope will allow a complete, nano-scale characterisation of natural and synthetic materials in a broad range of scientific, engineering and industrial applications. The Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope will provide nano-science users with a tool that can image many of the processes in the formation of these nanostructures and particles.Read moreRead less

This project involves the development of an innovative optical biosensing system combined with a sophisticated barcode system containing information for clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. For the first time, this system will provide information on the amount and chemical structure of cardiac biomarkers at the same time by combining reflectometric interference and low resolution Raman spectroscopies. These optical signals will be converted into barcodes containing several levels of information, which will be at the base of this versatile point-of-care test. The obtained results will be implemented in a computerised database to improve current cardiac disease diagnosis.Read moreRead less
Smart Bungs for wine monitoring. 'Smart Bung' sensors will use optical fibres to monitor wine production using only nano- to microlitre-scale volumes, significantly reducing wastage and improving quality. They will serve as 'early warning devices' and will ensure that Australia's wine industry maintains its outstanding international reputation for excellence and innovation.
ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics. The CNBP brings together physicists, chemists and biologists focused on a grand challenge controlling nanoscale interactions between light and matter to probe the complex and dynamic nanoenvironments within living organisms. The emerging convergence of nanoscience and photonics offers the opportunity of using light to interrogate nanoscale domains, providing unprecedentedly localised measurements. This will allow biological scientists to unde ....ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics. The CNBP brings together physicists, chemists and biologists focused on a grand challenge controlling nanoscale interactions between light and matter to probe the complex and dynamic nanoenvironments within living organisms. The emerging convergence of nanoscience and photonics offers the opportunity of using light to interrogate nanoscale domains, providing unprecedentedly localised measurements. This will allow biological scientists to understand how single cells react to and communicate with their surroundings. This science will underpin a new generation of devices capable of probing the response of cells within individuals to environmental conditions or treatment, creating innovative and powerful new sensing platforms.Read moreRead less
