Funded Activity Summary

Understanding cohesive forces in nanosystems. This theory project will provide basic scientific and modelling/computational support for a number of emerging technologies such as clean energy, and advanced materials and textiles (both CSIRO research areas). Other possible application areas are assembly of arrays of nanotube-based mechanical or electronic devices (e.g. single electron transistor arrays for quantum computer readout), and medical imaging and drug delivery via nano-sized magnetic particles. This last application is a strong growth area worldwide, with several Australian groups already participating. The project will train postgraduate students and a postdoctoral researcher. It will connect Australian scientists with a European Network of Excellence.
