RMIT cuts ribbon on world-class nanomanufacturing research centre

RMIT University has launched the Centre for Atomaterials and Nanomanufacturing (CAN), which will pioneer atomaterial research translation to drive commercial growth for Australia

Led by Distinguished Professor Baohua Jia, CAN will drive the translation of atomaterial research to support commercial opportunities for industry and Australia's transition to a circular economy.

'Atomaterials', short for atomic materials, is a new but rapidly developing field. These microscopic materials are about one millionth of a human hair in size and are the building blocks of new functionalities in nanomanufacturing.
