Profile
As Australia's national science agency, CSIRO has been pushing the boundaries of what's possible for over 85 years. Today we have close to 6,500 talented people working out of 58 centres in Australia and internationally. Our people work closely with industry and communities to achieve lasting scientific impact. As part of these efforts, we have developed significant expertise in printed organic and inorganic electronics. With potential application in consumer electronics, building-integrated products and energy production, our work will add value to existing segments of the manufacturing industry and create a new wave of niche industries based on nanotechnology.

Shining a light on research
Monash University is involved in two promising areas of science research that could deliver low cost, no-emission alternatives for our future fuel and energy needs.2 Mar 2011
Flexible electronics is the winner
There is a new form of electronics that will hit that figure in half the time because, unlike the silicon chip, it subsumes electrics such as lighting, batteries, solar cells and heaters, not just electronics. It is usually achieved by printing and its most vital characteristic is physical flexibility.2010

Printed electronics without borders
Printed Electronics are being developed by over 3,000 companies, universities and research institutes worldwide - although a significant percentage of these developers are located in countries such as the USA, Germany, Japan and South Korea, there's a lot of research effort in other countries.6 Sep 2010
Tyre pressure monitoring systems and energy harvesting
Although the first tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) appeared in the mid-80's as a feature of top-range luxury vehicles, it is only in recent years that they have seen widespread adoption worldwide.1 Sep 2010
Researchers break new ground in nanotechnology
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has shown that sandwiching a simple layer of silver nanoparticles can significantly improve the performance of organic transistors which are commonly used in consumer electronics.23 Apr 2010
Progress with flexible photovoltaics
In the last six months, IDTechEx has finally obtained working samples of many types of flexible photovoltaics - amorphous silicon, dye sensitised solar cells, copper indium gallium diselenide and organic.21 Apr 2010
Thin film photovoltaics focus: Photovoltaics Europe 2010 Germany
With a multitude of topics covered in the different conference tracks, the photovoltaics sessions attracted significant amount of interest. The main reason is the growth of photovoltaics technologies and thin film platforms in specific, but also the interest of a large number of solar cell developers in discovering new applications, other than rooftop and solar farm installations which have, by now, become highly competitive.14 Apr 2010

Printing large batteries
170 years ago, Faraday appreciated the different electrical properties of nano gold over bulk metal in electrical devices, so applying nanotechnology to these things is scarcely new. However, the huge sums now being applied to improvement of lithium traction batteries in particular are now leading to work on a much larger scale and thin film technology, nanotechnology and printing are in increasingly important part of this.11 Mar 2010
Lithium vehicle traction batteries and harvesting
The conference of about 40 people "Lithium Battery Technology and System Development" in London 9 March 2010 was concerned with "breaking barriers for electric vehicles".2009
