Australian company NanoGel, a pain relief product manufacturer, has recently joined the Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre (AMGC) as its 3,000th member, leveraging AMGC’s network and industry expertise to grow onshore manufacturing capabilities. Founded by four female ex-CSIRO scientists in 2019, NanoGel’s experience in nanotechnology disciplines has led to the successful manufacture of skin-delivered products for pain relief, cancer treatment and … Continue reading NanoGel joins AMGC as its 3,000th member →

Two University of Southern Queensland (USQ) researchers, whose work is said to have the potential to revolutionise manufacturing, have been awarded a total of $480,000 in Advance Queensland Industry Research Fellowship funding to help drive their research into materials innovations. Queensland’s Innovation Minister Kate Jones awarded nanotechnology researcher Dr Leila Javazmi $180,000 towards her work … Continue reading Funding boost awarded to building materials researchers →

Strategic Elements, an Australian company developing printable nanotechnology, has received additional financial support from the federal government to supports its ongoing joint research and development program with the CSIRO. The Nanocube Memory Ink is an advanced nanotechnology material that can be printed or coated onto non-silicon transparent or flexible surfaces, such as glass or plastic, … Continue reading Strategic Elements receives funding for liquid printable memory project →

Indee Labs, in partnership with the Australian National Fabrication Facility – South Australia (ANFF-SA) and the Defence, Science and Technology Group (DSTG), have developed a novel microfluidic device with the potential to save the lives of people living with a life-threatening disease. Gene-modified cell therapies are the most effective platform for treating many patients with advanced disease. … Continue reading Novel gene-modified cell therapy developed →

In a collaboration between a mining exploration company and a start-up nanofluid company, Australian companies Archer Exploration and FlexeGRAPH have joined hands to develop graphite and graphene advanced materials for  thermal applications in electrical vehicle batteries, internal combustion engines, and high-performance computing systems. The agreement focuses on advanced materials development, processing, evaluation and characterisation, with particular emphasis … Continue reading Archer, FlexeGRAPH, to develop graphite and graphene advanced materials →

Twenty fifteen was UNESCO’s International Year of Light and Light based Technologies. It was a celebration of past milestones in optics and photonics and a look forward into it’s future. We celebrated 1,000 years of Arabic optics, 150 years since James Maxwell’s electrodynamics, 100 years since Albert Einstein’s general relativityand 50 years since the invention of optical fibres. This … Continue reading Small and bright: what nanophotonics means for you →

UNSW is home to a vast array of world-class nano and micro-fabrication tools, available to electronics manufacturers looking for an edge in product development. Brent Balinski spoke to ANFF NSW’s Dr Nadia Court about the Kensington labs. Australia, and in particular Sydney, has emerged as an area of great quantum computer expertise. Last week the University … Continue reading Not just for quantum computing and not just for academics →

NANOTECHNOLOGY and optoelectronics researcher Professor Chennupati Jagadish has been awarded Australia’s highest honour for his service to physics and engineering.

Imagine Intelligent Materials has executed a sales and certification deal with ASX-listed MRL Corporation for graphite and graphene products.

The future could see money digitised, purchases made by blinking your eyes, and anything manufactured, molecule by molecule, Kaku tells Brent Balinski.

A recent survey revealed that, comparatively, manufacturing is not a forward thinking sector when it comes to future proofing.

High-frequency sound waves can be used to precisely control the spread of thin film fluid along a specially-designed chip.

New, more precise technology and nanomachines are taking engineering to a new scale.

The project builds on innovative technology in nanofibre manufacturing recently developed by researchers from Cytomatrix and Deakin University.
