Breakthough nanotechnologies based on quantum mechanics promise useful devices for absolutely secure transmission of information encoded in quantum states, ultra-rapid searching through genome databases for unique gene sequences, faster electronic and photonic devices, robust devices made from diamond and better processing of biomedical materials for diagnosis of illness. Fabrication and characterization of these devices provides training for research students in state-of-the-art techniques with many uses. Deeper understanding of these quantum technologies will lead to better models for some of the most puzzling aspects of quantum mechanical systems that are the foundation of the physical processes of
our universe.Read moreRead less
A Green Internet - telecommunications technologies and their environmental impact. This project will solve problems of direct importance to Australia and the wider international community. It will enable continued growth of broadband Internet services in Australia and elsewhere, while minimizing the environmental impact of this growth.

This project will solve problems of direct importance to Australia and the wider international community. It will enable continued growth of broadband Internet services in Australia and elsewhere, while minimizing the environmental impact of this growth. The project will significantly advance Australia's participation in Information and Communications industries through an increase in the knowledge and skills base in telecommunications technologies and their environmental impact. The outcomes of the research will be in technologies that are well-matched to the needs and interests of Australian companies. Read moreRead less
