AIBN researchers devised technology to make graphene into more efficient electrodes for powering batteries, improving the performance of aluminium ion batteries, also providing a much safer alternative.
Our researchers have developed an innovative and potentially life-saving diagnostic device – the Immuno-storm chip – that identifies which cancer and COVID-19 patients are at risk of a potentially lethal ‘cytokine storm’.
AIBN’s scientists have developed a method of extracting nanofibres from spinifex, which can be used to make products such as condoms as thin as a human hair.
AIBN researchers are working on ways to improve the efficiency of biofuel and chemical manufacture while recycling waste carbon – by better understanding the gene function of bacteria.
A pivotal collaboration between AIBN, the Queensland Government, Boeing, GE, Mackay Sugar Ltd and IOR Energy, has seen the development of an advanced new aviation biofuel made from sugarcane.
Our breakthrough solar power technology – a flexible, printable ‘skin’ that can be applied to hard surfaces – has set a world record for the conversion of solar energy to electricity.
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) are conducting experiments with an antimicrobial surface coating designed to fight the spread of bacteria and viruses, developed in partnership between AIBN and Boeing.
