State-of-the-art atomic force microscopy facilities for South Australia

该项目旨在通过在南澳大利亚州建立最先进的原子力显微镜(AFM)设施来改变我国在纳米(生物)表征方面的能力。该设施将提供澳大利亚目前无法提供的无与伦比的能力，并将在从关键矿物和清洁能源到机械生物学的多个领域提供知识。预期结果包括更高效和更环保的资源回收和能源生产、未来的食品和治疗方法以及先进(生物)材料。该项目将加强和扩大澳大利亚将基本纳米级现象和特性转化为创新材料、技术和工艺的能力和全球领导地位。

This project aims to transform our national capability in nano-(bio)characterisation by establishing a state-of-the-art atomic force microscopy (AFM) facility in South Australia. The facility will provide unparalleled capabilities not currently available in Australia and will catapult knowledge in multiple fields, from critical minerals and clean energy to mechanobiology. Expected outcomes include more efficient and eco-friendly resource recovery and energy production, future foods and cures, and advanced (bio)materials. The project will strengthen and amplify Australia’s capacity and global leadership to translate fundamental nano-scale phenomena and properties into innovative materials, technologies, and processes.
