Micro plumbing to help more people become parents

Poised to increase in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment success rates, a team of pioneering Australian researchers have developed an automated microfluidic platform to standardise complex IVF processes. In Australia alone, one in six couples is affected by infertility problems. In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is the most effective assisted reproductive technology, used to help couples with

Protecting the world from homemade explosives

Protecting the world from homemade explosives Researchers from Victoria University have developed an innovative new approach for rapid screening of peroxide-based ‘homemade’ improvised explosive devices (IEDs). IEDs sow the seeds of death and destruction, and the terrorists and criminals that create them seek to spread fear, destabilise governments and divide society. IEDs based on explosives

Making Quantum Truly Scalable

Making Quantum Truly Scalable Diraq, the recently incorporated start-up company from the Dzurak Group at UNSW, are the global leaders in developing silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor (SiMOS) quantum-dot qubit devices for quantum computing. In 1964, Richard Feynman, Nobel Laureate and the father of nanotechnology, said, ‘I think I can safely say that nobody really understands quantum mechanics.’
