Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is a public research university located in the urban coastal city of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. QUT is located on two campuses in the Brisbane area: Gardens Point and Kelvin Grove. The university in its current form was founded in 1989, when the then Queensland Institute of Technology (QIT) was granted university status by the Queensland University of Technology Act 1988, and by the subsequent merger of Brisbane College of Advanced Education with QUT in 1990.

Intersecting light beams key in transformative 3D printer potential

“QUT researchers have used intersecting light beams to control chemical reactions in an advanced material, paving the way for future use in 3D printers that print entire layers, instead of single points, at a time. QUT’s Centre for Materials …

Focus on organic transistors for health sensors within living organisms

“QUT researchers are part of an international group who have explored ways in which organic transistors are being developed for use as wearable health sensors. The currently available bioelectronic devices, such as pacemakers, that can be embedded within the human …

Researchers use electron microscope to turn nanotube into tiny transistor

“An international team of researchers has used a unique tool inserted into an electron microscope to create a transistor that’s 25,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. The research, published in the journal Science, involves …

Diamonds shine in energy storage solution

“Dr Haifei Zhan, from the QUT Centre for Materials Science, and his colleagues successfully modelled the mechanical energy storage and release capabilities of a diamond nanothread (DNT) bundle – a collection of ultrathin one-dimensional carbon threads that store energy when twisted …

Robotics researchers track autonomous underground mining vehicles

“QUT robotics researchers have developed new technology to equip underground mining vehicles to navigate autonomously through dust, camera blur and bad lighting. Using mathematics and biologically-inspired algorithms, the technology uses vehicle-mounted cameras to track the location of the vehicle in …
