Congratulations to Arnold, whose research into blood flow has led to proposed novel therapies that efficiently prevent disease-forming clots, a breakthrough that will have life-saving implications for diabetics.

We have launched our new prototyping capability in the Madsen Building, home to our three 3D printers and laser cutter.

Arnold invented a new biomechanical nanotool that allowed him to discover that disturbed blood flow in a person’s veins and arteries generates mechanical forces that can rapidly trigger blood clotting, which can lead to a heart attack.

Dr Waterhouse is working on a project to build autonomous, programmable nanorobots – smaller than cells – that can navigate through the human body and detect cardiovascular disease.

Researchers from the University of Sydney have found a way to manipulate laser light at a fraction of the cost of current technology, using perovskites to make Faraday rotators.
