Summary
Integrated silicon carbide nanosensors for monitoring extreme environment. This project aims to develop a highly sensitive and reliable sensing platform for structural health monitoring in harsh environments, encompassing high temperature, corrosion, and shock. These conditions have been posing several technical challenges to sensing and electronic devices. The project elucidates the piezoresistive and thermoresistive effects in silicon carbide nanowires, which are the building blocks of robust ....Integrated silicon carbide nanosensors for monitoring extreme environment. This project aims to develop a highly sensitive and reliable sensing platform for structural health monitoring in harsh environments, encompassing high temperature, corrosion, and shock. These conditions have been posing several technical challenges to sensing and electronic devices. The project elucidates the piezoresistive and thermoresistive effects in silicon carbide nanowires, which are the building blocks of robust mechanical and thermal sensors used in extreme conditions. The findings from this project expect to provide Australia with the cutting-edge expertise necessary for developing next-generation monitoring systems in the extreme environments of the oil/gas transportation, mining, automobile, and space exploration industries.Read moreRead less
Microfluidics with core-shell beads: handling liquids like solids. Reducing waste of consumables in chemical reactions promises to solve environmental problems as well as enable novel applications in space. This project aims to establish a revolutionary fluid handling technology that lowers waste in the labs and in satellites. The project deciphers the fundamental physics behind our recent discovery of encapsulating a tiny liquid content in a solid shell, allowing for handling liquid samples lik ....Microfluidics with core-shell beads: handling liquids like solids. Reducing waste of consumables in chemical reactions promises to solve environmental problems as well as enable novel applications in space. This project aims to establish a revolutionary fluid handling technology that lowers waste in the labs and in satellites. The project deciphers the fundamental physics behind our recent discovery of encapsulating a tiny liquid content in a solid shell, allowing for handling liquid samples like solid particles. Examples of the benefit of this project are more precise detection of bacteria on earth and compact reactors in space. The research outcomes are instrumental for promoting a clean environment, good health, and creating new business opportunities, particularly in space industry, for Australians.Read moreRead less
