The 2023 ANFF Casebook is now available online. The Australian National Fabrication Facility is a national cooperative network of open-access research facilities specializing in micro and nanofabrication. It provides researchers and industry partners with advanced tools and expertise for developing pioneering technologies. ‘ANFF – Connected’ centres on ANFF’s connections within various research and technology landscapes, …
The Australian National University researcher Dr Tuomas Haggren’s light-emitting metasurface goes beyond the limits of normal materials to manipulate how nanoscale patterns affect the properties of light. From Princess Leia of Star Wars begging for Obi-Wan Kenobi’s help to the holodeck adventures in Star Trek, depictions of holograms have evolved from 3D images that we …
Dr Anna Waterhouse and her dynamic research team from the University of Sydney (USYD) are developing next generation surface coatings that reduce the risk of blood clots forming on the implantable medical devices used to treat cardiovascular disease. For people living with heart and blood vessel disorders, implanted medical devices including stents, vascular grafts and …

Researchers at Australia National University have developed a miniaturised gas sensor to continuously monitor air quality in our vehicles. Well known for its clean air, Australia ranks among the top 10 countries globally in terms of overall air quality. However, even at low levels, air pollution can negatively impact our health. Although particulate matter from …
Schematic of a nanopore blockade sensor (PSA: prostate-specific antigen, MNP: magnetic nanoparticle) UNSW researchers Yanfang Wu and Justin Gooding’s revolutionary nanopore blockage sensor technology lowers the detection limit of PSA screening, allowing earlier detection of prostate cancer. In Australia, one in six men is likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer by the age of …
