Technology Stories

Show and solar cell

A team of University of Newcastle researchers has been showing off their ultra-light solar cells that are produced at a rate of hundreds of metres a day using ANFF Material’s roll-to-roll printing capabilities.

AFM on a chip

New developments from UWA are providing miniaturisation opportunities for one of the most widely used techniques for analysing nanoscale structures.

Dancing helium

University of Queensland researchers are using a fluid that never settles to create quantum tornadoes on a chip.

TMOS lights the way

Researchers at the ANU-led ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) are producing the light-based technologies that are needed to meet the evolving demands of Industry 4.0.

Superpowered stitches

Medical sutures could provide a conduit to deliver anti-inflammatory treatments directly into damaged tissue. Recent research has demonstrated that drugs can be drawn along the threads of the stitches themselves before being widely dispersed into soft tissue models.

UWA research moves up the food chain

A research project to develop a portable sensor capable of assessing food quality has won the Buy West Eat Best Kim Chance Fellowship Award from the WA State Government.

Storing sunshine in a bottle

ANFF-enabled researchers at ANU have created a record- breaking device that uses sunlight to harvest hydrogen.

Ligō to lead the way
