Nanotechnology that incorporates the use of nanomachines and molecular machines is an exciting new area of translational research, with broad potential in biomedical technology and industrial applications. We are developing new molecular machines and optimising their assembly. Recent innovation in the world of nanotechnology concerns the design and manufacture of synthetic and hybrid machines, based on existing biological molecular machines but incorporating synthetic parts. Australia has an opportunity to be at the forefront of these new developments in nanotechnology, with a new generation of Australian scientists being trained across the foundation disciplines of chemistry, physics and molecular biology.

结合使用纳米机器和分子机器的纳米技术是转化研究的一个令人兴奋的新领域，在生物医学技术和工业应用中具有广泛的潜力。我们正在开发新的分子机器并优化它们的组装。纳米技术领域的最新创新涉及合成和混合机器的设计和制造，这些机器基于现有的生物分子机器，但包含合成部件。澳大利亚有机会站在纳米技术新发展的最前沿，新一代的澳大利亚科学家正在接受化学、物理和分子生物学基础学科的培训。
