Nanotechnology Research – Directory

The ARC Centre for Functional Nanomaterials was established in November 2003 under the Australian Research Council's Centre of Excellence Program (Reserved Round). The Centre aims to become a world class centre of excellence with leading Australian researchers in nanomaterials

Combines pre-eminent Australian theoretical and experimental research groups in quantum and atom optics. The center's aim is to create a powerful network to advance the rapidly developing field of Quantum-Atom Optics.

The APNF is a platform for networking across the Asia Pacific region between governments, developing industry, and the venture capital market. The APNF is an independent non-government, not for profit organization, which facilitates the coordination of Nanotechnology development and programs and cross regional collaborations among Government policy makers, industry, R&D institutions, and leading researchers.

The AMMRF is a national grid of equipment, instrumentation and expertise in microscopy, microanalysis, electron and x-ray diffraction and spectroscopy providing nanostructural characterisation capability and services to all areas of nanotechnology and biotechnology research.

The Australian Nano Business Forum is a national organisation established to further the interests of private sector companies in the business of nanotechnology in Australia.

Provides services relevant to Nanotechnology business as well as industry interested in Nanotechnology focusing on the needs surrounding commercially oriented Nanotechnology and needs that other organisations and enterprises have to engage with and benefit from Nanotechnology.

Nanotechnology and Mesoscale Physics at the Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering

The work in the laboratories is focussed on the study of fundamental atomic and molecular processes, the electronic structure of matter and their application to technological devices, and the understanding of atmospheric and astrophysical processes.

The department carries out a significant research body in nanotechnology and nanosciences.

At the Australian National University (ANU), carbon nanotubes, Boron Nitride (BN) nanotubes, nanoparticles, nanowires and other nanomaterials have been produced by using a high-energy ball milling and annealing method, which was developed by the group in 1998.

The nanotechnology site of the Australian government.

Dedicated to substantially enhancing Australia's research outcomes in this important field by promoting effective collaborations, exposing researchers to alternative and complementary approaches from other fields, encouraging forums for postgraduate students and early career researchers, increasing nanotechnology infrastructure, enhancing awareness of existing infrastructure, and promoting international links.

The Centre for Quantum Computer Technology is an Australian multi-university collaboration undertaking research on the fundamental physics and technology of building, at the atomic level, a solid state quantum computer in silicon together with other high potential implementations.

Responsible for developing Australia's National Nanotechnology Strategy. Houses a National Research Flagship for Niche Manufacturing that includes nanomanufacturing.

A joint effort between CSIRO and 9 Australian universities, the cluster researchers carbon nanotube membranes and nanocomposite electrodialysis for desalination membranes.
