The proposed integrated facility will strongly support collaborative research in areas of high national priority. These are environmental sustainability, development of new materials and designing molecules of therapeutic value on the basis of better understanding the relevant biological processes. This support will lead to maximizing the outcomes of numerous projects already funded by the Australian Research Council which require accurate and highly sensitive analysis. This will improve the cost effectiveness of research funding and will further strengthen the outstanding reputation of Australia science worldwide.Read moreRead less

Outcomes of the research utilising the proposed facility will feed directly into monitoring the health of the nations water systems (both ground and surface waters) and constraining processes responsible for the mobility and subsequent accumulation of toxic metals and metallic species in the environment. Pure research into trace element partitioning in geological materials will inform crust formation and mineral deposit models and aid in exploration of world-class ore bodies and the associated economic benefits of this activity. Applications in nanotechnology include laser cleaning and predictive laser ablation characterisation of potential application in manufacturing technology.Read moreRead less
