Scientists use novel ink to 3D-print ‘bone’ with living cells

“3D printers may one day become a permanent fixture of the operating theatre after UNSW scientists showed they could print bone-like structures containing living cells. Scientists from UNSW Sydney have developed a ceramic-based ink that may allow surgeons in the …

Supercharge your microscope: researchers share guide for ultra-precise 3D imaging

“UNSW Sydney researchers have shared step-by-step instructions to empower other scientists to enhance the resolution and stability of single-molecule microscopes. Researchers will be able to build ultra-precise microscopes to visualise and explore the interactions between individual molecules within cells, thanks …

Hot qubits made in Sydney break one of the biggest constraints to practical quantum computers

“A proof-of-concept published today in Nature promises warmer, cheaper and more robust quantum computing. And it can be manufactured using conventional silicon chip foundries. Most quantum computers being developed around the world will only work at fractions of a degree …

Engineers crack 58-year-old puzzle on way to quantum breakthrough

“A mishap during an experiment led UNSW quantum computing researchers to crack a mystery that had stood since 1961. A happy accident in the laboratory has led to a breakthrough discovery that not only solved a problem that stood for …

Artificial atoms create stable qubits for quantum computing

“In a breakthrough for quantum computing, researchers at UNSW Sydney have made improved qubits using concepts from high school chemistry. Quantum engineers from UNSW Sydney have created artificial atoms in silicon chips that offer improved stability for quantum computing. In …

Liquid metals the secret ingredients to clean up environment

“Liquid metal catalysts show great promise for capturing carbon and cleaning up pollutants, requiring so little energy they can even be created in the kitchen. Forget the laboratory, substances that can solve environmental problems by capturing carbon dioxide, decontaminating water …

Researchers Use 3D Printing to Make Glass Optical Fiber Preform

“New approach greatly simplifies silica fiber fabrication, enabling new designs and applications Researchers have developed a way to use 3D printing to create a preform that can be drawn into silica glass optical fibers, which form the backbone of the …

200 times faster than ever before: the speediest quantum operation yet

“A group of physicists at UNSW Sydney have built a super-fast version of the central building block of a quantum computer. The research is the milestone result of a vision first outlined by scientists 20 years ago. A group of …

Quantum world-first: researchers can now tell how accurate two-qubit calculations in silicon really are

“After being the first team to create a two-qubit gate in silicon in 2015, UNSW Sydney engineers are breaking new ground again: they have measured the accuracy of silicon two-qubit operations for the first time – and their results confirm the …

Building a smart city with power system enhanced by AI and hydrogen storage

“UNSW Sydney is pursuing new partnerships to realise the potential of smart cities and hybrid energy storage systems to power them. UNSW Sydney will lead Australia’s first fully integrated smart city trial in partnership with Providence Asset Group (PAG …
