Silicon is the wonder material of our time, being the foundation upon which our electronics and device industries are based. Silicon however would be even more useful if it could be stabilised so the surface did not oxidise in air and water. If this oxidation could be prevented silicon could be used in a whole range of new devices related to biotechnology, molecular electronics and sensing. The project will develop a viable surface chemistry strategy for achieving this stabilisation and hence will greatly expand the scope of devices which can be fabricated from silicon. This will have significant scientific and economic benefits for Australia. We will exploit this new capability for cancer detection, cell engineering and biosensing.

硅是我们这个时代的神奇材料，是我们电子和设备行业的基础。然而，如果硅能被稳定化，使其表面在空气和水中不会氧化，那么它将更加有用。如果这种氧化可以被阻止，硅就可以用于与生物技术、分子电子学和传感器有关的一系列新设备。该项目将开发一种可行的表面化学策略，以实现这种稳定化，从而大大扩展可以用硅制造的设备的范围。这将为澳大利亚带来重大的科学和经济利益。我们将利用这种新的能力进行癌症检测，细胞工程和生物传感。
