Summary
NMR cryosystem for structural and functional biology. State-of-the-art hardware is requested for the 600-MHz NMR spectrometers situated at University of Sydney and UNSW. A cryosystem installed at USyd. will provide a massive boost in productivity and will allow projects previously inaccessible due to excessive turn-around times, or sensitivity or solubility problems to become tractable. This system will provide new opportunities to researchers from USyd., UNSW and ANU, but will restrict the ver ....NMR cryosystem for structural and functional biology. State-of-the-art hardware is requested for the 600-MHz NMR spectrometers situated at University of Sydney and UNSW. A cryosystem installed at USyd. will provide a massive boost in productivity and will allow projects previously inaccessible due to excessive turn-around times, or sensitivity or solubility problems to become tractable. This system will provide new opportunities to researchers from USyd., UNSW and ANU, but will restrict the versatility of the USyd. instrument. The installation of a TBI probe at UNSW will counter this, and provide a REAL network of NMR instruments across NSW and the ACT.Read moreRead less

An automated 3D electron microscopy facility: The aim of this project is to establish the next generation of electron microscopy facility, with a fully automated tool enabling 3D imaging. The automated serial section system incorporated in a scanning electron microscope circumvents the limitation of transmission electron microscopy, which provides unique insights into molecular structures and cell components at high resolution, however, the area and volume are limited in size to a few microns. This new type of microscope can image whole organisms and be used by non-electron microscopists. It will be housed in an open access facility and will meet a growing demand for 3D electron microscopy.Read moreRead less

Rapid prototyping 3-D nano-pattern large area writer:
The project aims to establish a nanoscale three-dimensional patterning rapid prototyping capability to enable advanced nanofabrication research and development. The extension of patterning nanostructured materials in three dimensions with nanometre resolution, developed for semiconductor processing, to nano-electronics, nanophotonics, nanosensors, nanobiotechnology and fundamental studies of nanoscale phenomena in science and engineering has opened new opportunities in these areas. As these areas accelerate, there is a need to develop nanoscale patterns and structures via rapid prototyping pathways and with methods accessible to an ever-diverse researcher base without a background in nanofabrication. By establishing the first NanoFrazor in Australia, this project aims to provide new technology for the fabrication of high-resolution nanoscale structures and patterns.
