This project will establish basic conceptual models and computational methods to understand the nature of conduction, memory storage, and solar to electrical energy conversion processes in molecular devices on the 1-nanometer scale. Fundamental research of chemical processes, device interfaces, characterization techniques, and natural photosynthesis will result in widely applicable advances in nanotechnology. Additionally, novel architectures will be developed for disruptive new technologies in molecular memory and logic design, as well as in the design of biomimetic solar cells. These developments could lead to new Australian electronics industries and an order of magnitude reduction in the production cost of solar electricity.

该项目将建立基本的概念模型和计算方法，以了解分子器件在1纳米尺度上的传导、记忆存储和太阳能到电能转换过程的本质。对化学过程、设备界面、表征技术和自然光合作用的基础研究将导致纳米技术的广泛应用进展。此外，还将为分子存储和逻辑设计以及仿生太阳能电池设计方面的颠覆性新技术开发新的架构。这些发展可能会导致澳大利亚新的电子行业，并使太阳能发电的生产成本降低一个数量级。
