The proposed Material Characterisation Facility using non-destructive methods will be unique to Australia. Precise characterisation of advanced materials such as dielectrics and superconductors using the facility will progress emerging technologies within the electronic and communication research area. The inclusion of a microwave scanning test bed within the laboratory will allow engineers, scientists, biologists and medical scientists to safely detect the intrinsic electromagnetic properties of electronic materials and tumours in biological tissues or poor quality agricultural produce. This comprehensive material characterisation facility will therefore benefit the peoples of Australasia in many significant and diverse ways.Read moreRead less
