Summary
The Melbourne Nanofabrication Facility. Australia is desperately short of facilities for actual fabrication, prototyping and construction of advanced micromechanical and nanoscale systems. This is impeding both academic researchers and industrial developers in the materials, optics and biotechnological industries. The proposed instrument would complete the development of Australia's newest high resolution microscopy centre and enable a wide range of users to image, measure, build and design comp ....The Melbourne Nanofabrication Facility. Australia is desperately short of facilities for actual fabrication, prototyping and construction of advanced micromechanical and nanoscale systems. This is impeding both academic researchers and industrial developers in the materials, optics and biotechnological industries. The proposed instrument would complete the development of Australia's newest high resolution microscopy centre and enable a wide range of users to image, measure, build and design complex nanostructures at the atomic level and upwards.

Summary
Melbourne Platform for Surface Characterisation of Structured Materials. The Australian economy is gradually expanding its manufacturing base through the development of the nanotechnology and biotechnology sectors. This will lead to production of a more diverse range of elaborately transformed goods. A key contributor to these export opportunities will be the nanotechnology sector since at the present time no country has a real nanotechnology based economy and there are many niche markets availa ....Melbourne Platform for Surface Characterisation of Structured Materials. The Australian economy is gradually expanding its manufacturing base through the development of the nanotechnology and biotechnology sectors. This will lead to production of a more diverse range of elaborately transformed goods. A key contributor to these export opportunities will be the nanotechnology sector since at the present time no country has a real nanotechnology based economy and there are many niche markets available for smaller countries such as Australia. This proposal helps to build quality control and characterisation infrastructure that will facilitate prototyping and design of nanoscale devices and sensors for next generation manufacturing.Read moreRead less
