Making future buildings safer
Inside a glass-walled laboratory, the effects of earthquakes and other forces of nature can be simulated on tomorrow’s structures.
See-through centre puts knowledge on show
Swinburne’s new centre houses $40 million worth of advanced research equipment in a building designed to excite a sense of wonder in 21st century technology.
Light harvesting offers new vision
Professor Saulius Juodkazis joined Swinburne in 2010 to develop the university’s expertise in plasmonics and continue his research seeking to develop the next generation of sensors using state-of-the-art technology.
Upturn in Swinburne’s fortune
Something remarkable has happened to Swinburne’s research in the last decade, says Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Andrew Flitman.
Our futures bound by knowledge shared
Acting Vice Chancellor Professor Andrew Flitman invites industry to work with Swinburne to tackle the things that matter: advancing our standards of living, our health and our ability to live together.
Photosynthesis comes into the light
In one-quadrillionth of a second a plant can take the sun’s light and transfer it to the chlorophyll molecules in its light-harvesting centre, which give the plant its green pigmentation. Swinburne researchers are trying to better understand this critical component of photosynthesis, is the most efficient energy-transfer process known.
Defects detected in the blink of a ‘mechanical eye’
The next generation of visual inspection systems could help Australian manufacturers improve quality and competitiveness. But understanding the limits of these systems will be vital.
Disease arms-race looks to powerful new X-ray tools
A new X-ray tool could help biologists shed light on the body's innermost workings, providing details that could have enormous value to chemists designing drugs, such as new antibiotics to defeat drug-resistant bacteria
Small-scale technology with large-scale benefits
The two-photon fluorescence microscope can create high-resolution, 3-D images of tissue deep in the body, and thus can diagnose very early-stage cancer. However, it requires a huge, non-portable machine - or does it?
Atom chip to open frontiers unknown
Australian researchers are among those helping to push the atom chips towards new quantum technologies
Tool kit challenge for tomorrow's nano-factories
The two-photon fluorescence microscope has the capability to diagnose very early-stage cancer
Needle fabrication lifts surgical blindfold
'Micro-technology' cluster nurtures new-generation manufacturing
Trust drawn from the messenger, not the message
Australians' optimism about the benefits of science and technology rests precipitously on how much they trust those delivering the information
