The 2010 International Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICONN 2010) brought together the Australian and International community working in the field of nanoscale science and technology to discuss new and exciting advances in the field. ICONN 2010 covered nanostructure growth, synthesis, fabrication, characterisation, device design, modelling, testing and applications.
Scientists have been able to kill an infectious parasite using non-toxic gold nanoparticles and laser beams.
“Our first target is Toxoplamosis gondii, a parasite that infects one in three people and causes problems especially in the young and old, and people with a compromised immune system says Michael Cortie from the University of Technology Sydney, speaking on behalf of his team at ICONN 2010 the international nanotechnology conference in Sydney.
Most Australians (84%) feel positive that science and technology are improving society. These positive perceptions have been strongly held over the last five years.
Bionic eyes, quantum computers and more efficient solar cells are among the many research projects set to benefit from a new facility due to be officially opened in Sydney on Friday.
Never before have scientists made such a proactive effort to study the safety of an emerging technology as they are currently doing with nanotechnology, says Dr Mark Wiesner from Duke University.
A radical new kind of computer memory will be a million times faster than existing hard-drives, a leading expert in the field of nanotechnology announced today in Sydney.
It will use nanotechnology to manipulate data like cars on tiny racetracks.
And Australians are feeling good about new technologies including nanotechnology.
Most Australians (84%) feel positive that science and technology are improving society. These positive perceptions have been strongly held over the last five years.
We are a specialist science communication and public relations business. We help you communicate complex ideas simply to the public, media, government, and industry; on any platform from social media, to media, pitches, publications, events and conferences.
Our team are all working from home and can consult/train/mentor/write via phone, Zoom, Teams, Skype etc
Upcoming training sessions
Media and communication masterclass:
Practice interviews. Key messages. Tricky questions. How to ensure your research is reported accurately.
Sarah's structure of the course, specific insight and understanding of science, her contacts and common mistakes made in communication were great and furthered my skills in this area.

This is one of the best science communication courses I have ever encountered. It teaches all research to think out of box and really simplify their research in lay man's language. I will highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about science communication.
