Project Summary

Printing is perhaps the cheapest means of mass production available, yet it is used almost exclusively to mass produce only one thing, i.e. the printed word!  This project will enable the development of disposable printed sensors for assessing the quality of water or the health of an individual.  Sensors are generally relatively expensive, but the ability to print them on paper by the thousand will bring down the cost to a few cents. Such cheap, portable, easy‑to‑use sensors if widely available could profoundly affect the lives of people living in remote areas and developing countries.

Project title: Advanced fluorescence characterisation facility.

2012:                 $150,000

Project Summary

Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light of a different wavelength. Fluorescence techniques and fluorescent molecules have enabled a great many of the most important advances in biology, chemistry and medicine in recent decades. This facility will support a wide range of research projects using or exploring fluorescence and luminescence. The research supported will underpin advances in diverse scientific fields.
