Tuning the topological insulator Sb2Te3: Just add iron
05-Jun-2019
Iron-doping of the topological insulator Sb2Te3 results in useful electronic and magnetic properties, quantified in a recent FLEET study at the University of Wollongong. The researchers studied the magneto-transport properties of an iron-doped topological insulator (Fe-Sb2Te3). After the material ...
Building next gen smart materials with the power of sound
27-May-2019
Researchers have used sound waves to precisely manipulate atoms and molecules, accelerating the sustainable production of breakthrough smart materials. Metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs, are incredibly versatile and super porous nanomaterials that can be used to store, separate, release or ...
GraphON: Conductive coatings and materials breakthrough
22-Feb-2019
Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, has created a breakthrough new form of graphitic material that's conductive, easy to apply and offers greater control over performance than graphene. GraphON can also be manufactured cheaper and easier, with more flexibility and less hazardous waste ...
New catalyst produces cheap hydrogen
30-Nov-2018
The potential for the chemical storage of renewable energy in the form of hydrogen is investigated around the world."The Australian Government is interested in developing a hydrogen export industry to export our abundant renewable energy," said Professor O'Mullane from QUT's Science and ...
Quick and not-so-dirty: A rapid nano-filter for clean water
24-Sep-2018
Australian researchers have designed a rapid nano-filter that can clean dirty water over 100 times faster than current technology. Simple to make and simple to scale up, the technology harnesses naturally occurring nano-structures that grow on liquid metals. The RMIT University and University of ...
Unlocking signal frequency control of precision atom qubits
17-Jul-2018
Australian scientists have achieved a new milestone in their approach to creating a quantum computer chip in silicon, demonstrating the ability to tune the control frequency of a qubit by engineering its atomic configuration. A team of researchers from the Centre of Excellence for Quantum ...
Slick solution for oil spills set to clean up
20-Apr-2018
Polluted beaches, oily water, dead birds and marine life destruction caused by crude oil spills could be a thing of the past with pioneering new research led by Flinders University. An exciting, more sustainable answer to effectively clean up oil spill destruction follows development of a new way ...
Helium ions open whole new world of materials
01-Mar-2018
They have illustrated their findings with the creation of nano 'sieves' that can help separate molecules down to an unprecedented size 10,000 times finer than a human hair. Professor Ostrikov, from QUT's Science and Engineering Faculty and Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, said this ...
Quantum 'spooky action at a distance' becoming practical
09-Jan-2018
A team from Griffith's Centre for Quantum Dynamics in Australia have demonstrated how to rigorously test if pairs of photons - particles of light - display Einstein's "spooky action at a distance", even under adverse conditions that mimic those outside the lab. They demonstrated that the effect, ...
Laser-boron fusion now 'leading contender' for energy
15-Dec-2017
A laser-driven technique for creating fusion that dispenses with the need for radioactive fuel elements and leaves no toxic radioactive waste is now within reach, say researchers. Dramatic advances in powerful, high-intensity lasers are making it viable for scientists to pursue what was once ...
