This project aims to develop a miniaturized high-precision laser robotic device that can fit comfortably in the mouth to perform pain-free, vibration-free dental operations by utilising silicon-carbide on silicon technology to create a millimetre-sized two-axis controllable, highly-reflective mirror robust to high-power ultra-short laser pulses. This project expects to generate new knowledge in micro-mirror control using optically excited piezo-resistive sensors, and cold femtosecond laser ablation of hard dental tissue. Expected outcomes include a working prototype for laser removal of tooth materials at speeds exceeding dental drills, providing benefits in miniaturized laser devices and ultimately removing pain from dental procedures.

The Network in Fluorescence applications in biotechnology and life sciences will coordinate a research program relating to applications of fluorescence whose proper resolution requires a high degree of interaction between biology, physics, chemistry, bioengineering and medicine. These would be applied to industrially relevant problems in areas such as public health, biotechnology, safety of foods, chemical biology and environmental monitoring. Approaches such as highly selective fluorescent labelling of targets using appropriate immunological and molecular techniques and purpose-engineered fluorochromes accompanied by the development of specialised instrumentation will capitalise on the multi-disciplinary research strengths in Australia and lead towards tangible industrial outcomes.

This project aims to establish an in situ transmission electron microscope that will allow the atomic scale imaging of materials, while simultaneously measuring physical, chemical, electrical and optical properties, using a novel combination of cutting edge in-situ sample holders and an instrument mounted laser system. The instrument will be optimised for imaging of dynamic phenomena and the combination of spatial resolution in the picometre scale, with microsecond level temporal resolution will be unique. The instrument will accelerate research into hydrogen production and carbon dioxide transformation, and thus support Australia's move to a more sustainable economy. Read moreRead less

Evidence suggests that collaboration in the workplace and high involvement approaches have a productivity premium of up to 20 per cent over those without the commitment to collaborative approaches. However, collective relations do not necessarily mean union relations nor necessarily collaborative relations. This research will benefit Australia's social and economic fabric through understanding alternative means by which collaborative workplace relations lead to productivity gains. This is consistent with the current policy approach of government in promoting productive and harmonious workplace level industrial relations.Read moreRead less
