A nanocoating that can halt viral outbreaks and new materials for solar cell and light emitting technology are among the cutting-edge AIBN projects to win funding in the latest Discovery Projects scheme.
Cheaper and more efficient solar cells for households and commercial applications are a step closer thanks to new research that will help prove the stability and longevity of this emerging technology.
Dr Miaoqiang Lyu is working on an ink formula that could screen print better zinc batteries: flexible power sources that are stronger, cheaper and – crucially - rechargeable.
A fresh round of Advance Queensland funding will help AIBN researchers team up with industry to develop next-gen lithium-ion batteries, indoor solar panels, and nanotech-assisted kits for drug screening.
Professor Lianzhou Wang has been named UQ's first ever ARC Industry Laureate Fellow, winning $3.6 million to help position Australia as a leading supplier of superior batteries for electric vehicles.
Researchers from the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) have won $1.5 million to improve precision nanomedicines and create a cleaner environment – all while strengthening industry ties.
Flat batteries could be a thing of the past thanks to lithium-ion battery nanotechnology developed by UQ. Professor Lianzhou Wang and his team from have demonstrated a battery that remains stable for more than 1000 charge/discharge cycles.
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.
