The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Molecular Plasmonics - From Single Electrons to Quantum Catalysis and Optical Logic Gates. After a decade of basic research, Nanotechnology is now entering its most disruptive phase. New nanoscale phenomena are being exploited and converted into viable technologies. Plasmonics - the manipulation of light using metal nanostructures - is one of the most promising of these. Plasmonics will enable scientists to achieve optical computing, reach higher data storage densities, and synthesize better cat ....Molecular Plasmonics - From Single Electrons to Quantum Catalysis and Optical Logic Gates. After a decade of basic research, Nanotechnology is now entering its most disruptive phase. New nanoscale phenomena are being exploited and converted into viable technologies. Plasmonics - the manipulation of light using metal nanostructures - is one of the most promising of these. Plasmonics will enable scientists to achieve optical computing, reach higher data storage densities, and synthesize better catalysts. Other applications include bio-sensing and rapid pathogen detection. To realise these potential outcomes, a leading international cluster focussing on plasmonics will be set up and this cluster will link state-of-the-art materials science, instrumentation and theory.Read moreRead less

Summary
Protonic materials for green chemical futures. By emulating the structures that nature has evolved this project will create novel materials that will be used to develop new sustainable chemical technologies. Working with local and international collaborators, outcomes will include new approaches to the conversion of carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals and for renewable energy generation and storage.

Macromolecular design for bio-imaging and targeted delivery. A thorough understanding of how nanoparticles interact with biological systems is imperative if advances are to be made in using nanotechnology for therapeutic applications. Fundamental aspects of nanoparticle transport, targeting and cell uptake will be investigated. This project aims to design novel nanoparticulate systems for the delivery of both an endogenous signalling molecule and genes to cells. The project aims to inform future optimal design criteria for bespoke nanoparticle delivery systems.Read moreRead less

Summary
Nanostructured Silicon-Based Wearable and Implantable Biosensors. The aim is to gain a deep understanding of the interface between nanostructured-silicon-based nanomaterials and biological systems, to develop a new generation of biosensor technologies applied on and in the body. Using innovative nanofabrication techniques, the team will integrate porous silicon nanomaterials with highly controllable optical and electrochemical properties into wearable and implantable biosensors for detecting bio ....Nanostructured Silicon-Based Wearable and Implantable Biosensors. The aim is to gain a deep understanding of the interface between nanostructured-silicon-based nanomaterials and biological systems, to develop a new generation of biosensor technologies applied on and in the body. Using innovative nanofabrication techniques, the team will integrate porous silicon nanomaterials with highly controllable optical and electrochemical properties into wearable and implantable biosensors for detecting bioanalytes directly and continuously in interstitial fluid, sweat, and blood; critically, they will be capable of long-term monitoring. The outcomes are expected to enable development of downstream applications across medical diagnostics, sports sciences, workplace testing as well as defence and space technologies.Read moreRead less
