Funded Activity Summary

Understanding and controlling the construction of molecular electronic and photovoltaic devices using nucleic acids. The efficient generation and use of energy is arguably the most pressing problem the world faces today. This project will enable the construction of molecular electronic and energy generation devices with increased efficiency, and will impact the fields of bio-organic chemistry and material science. Australia will benefit from the cheap and efficient energy produced by these new environmentally benign energy generation and transducing devices. A secondary benefit will arise when these devices are applied to medical diagnostics for early detection of diseases. Economic and environmental benefits for the Australian community and Australia's development as a knowledge-based economy will be the result.
