Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology

Smart materials for next generation energy storage and technology

Nanoengineered materials at the AIBN

Working at the nexus of physics, chemistry and engineering, the AIBN is creating smart materials for the next generation of energy storage and production.

Through our unique interface of bioengineering and nanotechnology we develop specific solutions to improve existing energy generation technologies, at scale, and develop entirely new ones.

By working at the nanoscale, our research teams are also building environmentally responsive nanoparticles for therapeutics and to treat infectious diseases like COVID-19 or influenza.

 

Our game changing solutions in nanoengineered materials include:
