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.
The development of next-generation solar-power technology that has potential to be used as a flexible ‘skin’ over hard surfaces has moved a step closer, thanks to a significant breakthrough at AIBN.
