Chitin‐Derived Carbon‐Metal Functional Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Functional carbon materials are synthesized from combination of biopolymer (chitin) and iron precursors. The resultant material exhibits superior surface area and adsorptive properties compared to carbon materials synthesized directly from pure chitin.

Advancing SafeWax, A Bio‐Inspired Superhydrophobic Coating, Toward Sustainable and Climate‐Resilient Crop Protection

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study advances SafeWax, a bio‐inspired, fatty‐acids‐based superhydrophobic coating, by identifying an agriculturally compliant solvent and revealing how solvent‐controlled Fatty acid crystallization governs the coating's microscopic structure and performance.

Concentration‐Dependent Self‐Assembly and Nanoparticle Maturation of Reflectins

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Within squid skin, structural coloration arises from iridophores whose Bragg reflector‐like ultrastructures contain high‐refractive‐index reflectin proteins. Coarse‐grained molecular dynamics simulations and dynamic light scattering measurements reveal how concentration modulates reflectin A2 self‐assembly.

Accelerated Discovery of Topological Spin Phase Diagrams in CrSBr Magnets Via High‐Throughput Optimization

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, we develop a high‐throughput algorithm that accelerates the elucidation of phase diagrams of topological spin textures using limited computational resources at high numerical accuracy. Applying this framework to the van der Waals magnet CrSBr, we unveiled a hierarchy of previously unknown topological textures (domain‐wall bimerons, bimeron chains,

Medical chemical defence against chemical nerve agent threats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The high toxicity of organophosphorus compounds (OP ; tabun, sarin, VX, cyclosarin and soman) originates from the irreversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an essential enzyme in cholinergic neurotransmission. Poisonings that lead to life-threatening toxic manifestations call for immediate treatment, which usually consists of a combined ...

Full spectrum defence: re-thinking the fundamentals of Australian defence strategy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This report argues that successive Australian governments have failed to define an effective national defence strategy. Executive summary Australia’s inability to clearly and succinctly define its defence strategy is a perennial failing that will have ...

Structure‐Property Relationships in Catecholamine Coatings for Broad Surface Functionalization

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs), six catecholamine molecules with different molecular structure were systematically characterized and compared based on their ability to form homogeneous, reactive coatings. Highlighting candidates capable of balancing coating properties of interest, their successful use as primer layers for organic and ...

Defence aspects of Australia's space activities [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Australia has been extensively involved in space activities of one sort or another since the 1950s. In many cases, projects undertaken in Australia or Australian products have been at the very forefront of international developments.
