Proud Gubbi Gubbi man Dr Francis McCallum from The University of Queensland’s Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) has been awarded a prestigious fellowship to advance microchip research in Japan.
You’ll find it in potatoes, bread, and rice, and maybe in a freshly ironed shirt. Now researchers from the AIBN are examining how starch could be a key ingredient in a new generation of bioplastics.
Two exciting AIBN projects have scored new funding to help industry collaborators crack the lucrative computer chip industry and capitalise on opportunities in waste-to-catalyst conversion
Hybrid inorganic-organic materials have important applications in energy, environmental and health technologies. Sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS) of polymers is a recently introduced approach to preparing such hybrid structures.
Cancer is a leading cause of death in both Australia and the world. The use of nanomedicines to efficiently deliver therapeutic agents to tumour tissue represents a promising treatment approach to improving the lives of people diagnosed with cancer.
Sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS) is becoming an important tool for formation of unique nanostructures. SIS is a variant of atomic layer deposition (ALD), in which the organometallic precursors are allowed to diffuse into the polymeric substrate before condensation.
