This project aims to establish an In situ Environmental Electron Microscope Facility to characterise real-time and dynamic changes in nanomaterials at the atomic scale. We will combine a cutting-edge 'in situ' gas/heating/electrical bias holder with new camera and analysis technology on a transmission electron microscope. This facility will be a sophisticated suite of equipment that will innovate and transform microscopy in Australia to image structural and compositional changes of materials under stimuli at a speed and resolution previously unachievable. This project will drive pioneering research in the fields of Materials Science, Chemistry and Catalysis to solve problems in advanced manufacturing, energy, technology and the environment.Read moreRead less
Nanoscale control of energy and matter for future energy-efficient technologies. Unprecedented control of energy and matter in nanoscale fabrication will be achieved using non-equilibrium self-organised plasma-solid systems. The outcomes will lead to energy-efficient, environment- and human-health-friendly production of nanomaterials for future energy, health, information, food, water, environmental and security technologies.

This project aims to establish a powerful multiple ion beam system for nanoscience research. The demand for customised therapies, secure communication and efficient energy harvesting prompts the development of nanoscale devices that can interface and interact with the environment: nanotechnology systems with fully functional sensors, detectors, energy and data processing modules. This project would increase the ability to observe and manipulate the structure of materials at the nanometre length-scale. This project is expected to boost Australia’s research capacity in nanoscience and develop materials for nanoelectronics, energy and the environment, and structural materials. These outcomes will benefit Australia’s capacity to develop advanced manufacturing industries.Read moreRead less
Understanding the role of catalysts in the epitaxial growth of multinary III-V semiconductor nanowires and nanowire heterostructures. This project will address a bottle-neck problem in the nanowire community. The outcomes of this project will provide new knowledge in nanoscience and guidelines for the development of nanowire-based nanodevices and nanosystems. This is strategically important to place Australia at the forefront of developments on nanoscience and nanotechnology.
