Optical sensing networks for hazardous environments

Modern technology allows information to be transmitted in many forms, but most of them aren’t suited to hazardous environments. In parts of the resources industries any potential ignition source could cause catastrophic damage but data still needs to be collected and reported.

New approaches to MRI

Researchers at the Australian Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology engineer a new class of imaging agents that promise to allow much clearer definition and mapping of diseased tissue.

Global Innovation Award for Graphene-on-Silicon Carbide MEMS technology

Using ANFF-Q’s Australian-first SiC epitaxial reactor, researchers from Griffith University have developed a substantially cheaper way to obtain high-quality patterned graphene at the wafer-level, enabling creation of extraordinarily sensitive and versatile chemical micro-sensors.

Better sensors for mining environments

Researchers at Griffith University have developed world-first silicon carbide nanowires for use in nanoscale sensors that are suitable for harsh environments.
