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.

Energy Conversion and Signal Transduction in Nanomechanical Systems. Miniaturization of materials and electronic devices is an important technological goal. In order to make smaller working devices,we need to understand how to create molecular scale devices such as valves, switches, pumps and motors. This Fellowship will explore ways to make smaller, portable devices that can be used for personal health monitoring,environmental sensing and the detection of disease and pathogens.
Improvement of critical current density in MgB2 wires and tapes and Y-Ba-Cu-O coated conductors. The technology of superconducting wires and tapes has emerged as one of the most important basic engineering technologies, which can create technical innovation and improvement in the quality of life in the fields of electric power, energy, machinery, transportation and the environment in the 21st century. The aim of the proposed program is to develop magnesium diboride superconductor and YBCO coated ....Improvement of critical current density in MgB2 wires and tapes and Y-Ba-Cu-O coated conductors. The technology of superconducting wires and tapes has emerged as one of the most important basic engineering technologies, which can create technical innovation and improvement in the quality of life in the fields of electric power, energy, machinery, transportation and the environment in the 21st century. The aim of the proposed program is to develop magnesium diboride superconductor and YBCO coated conductors by using novel nano-precursor powders. Superconducting tapes doped with nano-sized powders are expected to show enhancement in flux pinning properties. The expected outcome is the capability to produce a new generation of superconductors having high performance at low cost.Read moreRead less

The high efficiency and compactness of HTS devices promises great savings in energy and reduction in CO2 emissions, which is vital for decreasing greenhouse effects.Read moreRead less
Sustainable Solar Hydrogen Production from Waste Water. The world energy demand, expected to triple by 2100, must be met from sustainable and non-polluting sources. Sunlight is the largest available carbon-neutral energy source, with enough energy striking the planet in one hour to satisfy our current requirements for about a year. With the novel catalysts designed in this project, we will use this energy to simultaneously generate hydrogen and destroy organic pollutants by oxidation. The hydr ....Sustainable Solar Hydrogen Production from Waste Water. The world energy demand, expected to triple by 2100, must be met from sustainable and non-polluting sources. Sunlight is the largest available carbon-neutral energy source, with enough energy striking the planet in one hour to satisfy our current requirements for about a year. With the novel catalysts designed in this project, we will use this energy to simultaneously generate hydrogen and destroy organic pollutants by oxidation. The hydrogen can then be used as a clean source of sustainable energy and the water recycled. Our climate, proximity to major economies of the future, and long commercial and research experience in solar energy make Australia an ideal location for a hydrogen production industry.Read moreRead less

Laser Diagnostics of Soot Formation in Precessing Jet Flames. In many practical combustion systems (e.g., boiler furnaces and rotary kilns), flame radiation is the major contributor to the required heat transfer. Soot formation is a means of enhancing flame radiation provided the soot is completely oxidised within the flame so that there are no soot emissions. The enhanced flame radiation can have a significant economic and environmental impact on plant operation (changes to the parameters tha ....Laser Diagnostics of Soot Formation in Precessing Jet Flames. In many practical combustion systems (e.g., boiler furnaces and rotary kilns), flame radiation is the major contributor to the required heat transfer. Soot formation is a means of enhancing flame radiation provided the soot is completely oxidised within the flame so that there are no soot emissions. The enhanced flame radiation can have a significant economic and environmental impact on plant operation (changes to the parameters that influence soot formation can also influence NOx and greenhouse gas emissions). The objectives of this project are to identify and quantify the operating parameters that influence soot formation and destruction in such flames.Read moreRead less
