Description

Single-molecule Manipulation and Interaction Facility (SMIF). This LIEF project aims to establish Australia's first Single-molecule Manipulation and Interaction Facility (SMIF), providing multidisciplinary researchers with a platform to explore cellular processes and reveal molecular mechanisms at the nanoscale. The SMIF facility incorporates cutting-edge technologies for bio-manipulation, real-time visualisation, and characterisation of single-molecule interactions, overcoming the technical complexity of traditional tools requiring highly specialised personnel. By offering accessible, easy-to-use advanced systems, this project will significantly boost scientific discovery across physics, chemistry, and biology, fostering collaboration and innovation to better understand life at the molecular level.. Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 4009 - Electronics, Sensors and Digital Hardware. Lead: Prof Lining (Arnold) Ju
