Advanced Materials Group

Hi Twitter! We are the Advanced Materials Group @PhysicsANU @ourANU. We research advanced materials for health, energy, and manufacturing. We are 👇 ✅nice people doing exciting science ✅multidisciplinary (physics, chemistry, geology) ✅a diverse and inclusive team 💪

In a groundbreaking interview, @ANUmedia's Professor @PatrickKluth reveals how early detection of Alzheimer's may now be possible. Watch this insightful discussion on the future of Alzheimer's care here: apacnetwork.com/story/breakthr…

Failing is an essential part of the scientific process, and yet we rarely hear about it. So we asked a group of professors from @PhysicsANU to tell us about their most memorable failures. @JodieBradby @materials_anu science.anu.edu.au/news-events/ne…

NanoPlex: a fast analysis application to extract and analyze solid-state nanopore traces is now available online. The pre-print is out and can be accessed through: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

1/4 I am excited to share our latest publication in Small Methods, “High Accuracy Protein Identification: Fusion of Solid-State Nanopore Sensing and Machine Learning”. doi.org/10.1002/smtd.2…

Congratulations to @materials_anu 's @ShaaaaronHuang for winning a poster prize at the recent #iucr2023 👏💪

We are thrilled to announce that our very own @shankar_phy has been honoured with the prestigious Young Research Award (#NIMBElsevierAward) at the 21st Conference on Radiation Effects in Insulators sponsored by @ElsevierPhysics! 🏆 Well done Shankar! @PhysicsANU @scienceANU

📸 Just in! Prof. Patrick Kluth from our group delivered a lecture on SAXS at the international school of REI-21 conference in Fukuoka, Japan. #REI21 #SAXSLecture #FukuokaConference

From @shankar_phy, et al., Fabricating ultra-thin high-lifetime silicon nitride membranes with a thickness of only 3 nm! @materials_anu team achieved >1.8M biomolecule translocations through a single nanopore. To read more 👉 go.acs.org/56B

Congratulations to @shankar_phy, @Pat_Oz68 and whole team on their new paper, “Annealing of Swift HeavyIon Tracks in Amorphous Silicon Dioxide” @PhysicsANU

Our own @jodiebradby is hosting @RealSci_Nano this week. Lots of fun facts about diamonds and life as a high pressure physicist.

Our latest paper in @an_chem shows how we created ultra-thin nanopore membranes with a thickness of just 3nm. By using these membranes, we achieved over 1.8 million events for DNA and protein sensing. Check out our paper to learn more! doi.org/10.1021/acs.an… @PhysicsANU

Congratulations to group member @shankar_phy on receiving the Jak Kelly Award @royalsocnsw award at the Royal Society of NSW's 2023 dinner. Fabulous to see Shankar's work on nanopore sensing for the detection of complex biomolecules receiving such well-deserved recognition.

Our ANU PhD Student Shankar Dutt @shankar_phy lit up the physics space at the @royalsocnsw Annual Dinner last night, winning the Jak Kelly award for excellence in postgraduate research in physics. 🤩 @ourANU @PhysicsANU

Congratulations to @ShaaaaronHuang and the whole team on the publication of their new paper "Hardness of nano- and microcrystalline lonsdaleite" aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.…

Congratulations to Xingshuo Huang who presented her final PhD seminar today. She did an excellent presentation!

Catching up on tweets! Its been a busy week! Our own @JodieBradby is interviewed on @TheBriefingAU pod about lab-grown diamonds.💎 podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/are…

Great talk by @BKarawdeniya at @AipCongress this week. Huge conference of over 1000 physicists in beautiful Adelaide.

The opportunity to meet with not one, but two Nobel Laureates is not something that comes around very often. Our own @jodiebradby having a chat with Professor Donna Strickland and Professor Brian Schmidt last week!

Poem written by AI about us! "In the Advanced Materials Group, The scientists are on the brink, Of new and exciting breakthroughs, That will change the way we think."

It was great to meet some familiar faces at the User Meeting 2022 @ANSTO @ausynchrotron. We are excited to share our research findings while also learning about other people's innovative work.
