Summary
South Australian NMR Infrastructure Consortium. The proposed four pieces of NMR infrastructure will significantly enhance NMR facilities in South Australia. As a result, researchers from across the state will have access to a range of spectrometer field strengths to examine samples in the solution and solid phases. The infrastructure will support projects involving fundamental and strategic research spanning nanotechnology and the biological and materials sciences to industry-oriented projects. ....South Australian NMR Infrastructure Consortium.

Summary
Surface Spectroscopic and Microstructure Analysis. Funding is requested for an X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer (XPS) and an Image Plate Guinier Camera (IPGC), to update and expand capabilities in surface spectroscopic and microstructural analysis of a wide range of materials. The XPS unit, to be located at the University of SA, will replace two 18-year old XPS units at UniSA and Flinders University. The IPGC is a new and unique instrument which will be located at the University of Adelaide. The ....Surface Spectroscopic and Microstructure Analysis.

Mathematical and mechanical models in nano-engineering and nanomedicine. The major environmental problems generated from global warming and the major human health problems, like cancer and diabetes, if they are to be solved at all, will most likely be resolved making use of advances in nanobiotechnology. This proposal will position Australia as a leader in the modelling of nanodevices such as gigahertz oscillators, nano-electromagnets, nanosensors, nanosyringes and nanoporous media suitable for ....Mathematical and mechanical models in nano-engineering and nanomedicine.

This joint proposal by two South Australian universities and the Hanson Institute seeks to establish a facility for rapid characterisation and identification of biomolecules by means of MALDI-TOF and Nano LC mass spectrometry. The requested equipment is not available in South Australia. This proposal would establish a Nano LC (Q-TOF) node at the University of Adelaide-University of South Australia location and a MALDI-TOF node at the Flinders location. Its presence would greatly enhance the quality of research and teaching in priority areas such as proteomics, bioinformatics and nanotechnology and would provide a basis for fostering university and biotechnology industry collaborations.Read moreRead less
