Nanotechnology Research - Universities in Australia

The Del Borgo Laboratory, also described as the Nanopharmacology Lab, uses nanotechnology for the design and delivery of macromolecules, especially synthetic peptides as drugs.

An underlying guiding principle in most of the group's work is the relevance of transport processes primarily mass and momentum. They seek deeper understanding of fluid and mass transport in confined spaces, and the relationship between transport phenomena and materials processing.

The Quantum Light, Information, Matter and Electronics group conducts theoretical and experimental research in quantum sciences, including atomically precise materials, semiconductors, metamaterials and nanomaterials.

Research includes Micro/Nano precision manipulation.

Monash University is recognized as one of the leading centres of nanoscience in Australia, with world-class capabilities in nanoscale materials science and engineering and nanobiotechnology.

Main areas of research are nano-Engineering; nano-Environment; nano-Industrial; bio-nanotechology.

Murdoch University offers the undergraduate degree Bachelor of Science in Nanoscience which may be completed in three years of full-time study or over a longer period on a part-time basis. A fourth year of study and research is available if you are selected for an Honours degree.

With this course you will explore classical and modern physics, investigating the physical world around us and beyond. You'll also learn about Nanoscience, the science of the really small, and gain an understanding of the rules and complexities of physics at finer and finer levels.

The Graduate Diploma in Nanoscience program is available to graduate students who wish to upgrade their degree to include a specialisation in the newly developing field of Nanoscience. It provides both a theoretical background as well as practical experience which is gained from completing a major project.

The research degrees of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Master of Philosophy (MPhil) are available at Murdoch University.
