Congratulations to the AMIO member, Dr. Dechan Angmo who has received a collaborative project under the Quad Clean Energy Supply Chain Diversification Program. The project entitled “New Clean Energy Supply Chains for Next-Generation Solar Cell Technology”

A new international initiative has been launched to accelerate the commercialisation of high-performance printed Perovskite Solar Cell (PSC) modules, addressing key challenges in efficiency, scalability, durability, and cost-effectiveness. In collaboration with two leading Indo-Pacific companies and an Australian university, the project will develop scalable manufacturing processes to enable the large-scale production of PSC modules. The partnership aims to overcome cost and supply chain bottlenecks in critical PSC materials — a vital step toward making next-generation solar technologies commercially viable.

Congratulations to the AMIO member, Dr Julian Steele who has received an ARC Discovery Project award entitled “Photophysical Pathways in Next-Generation X-ray Detectors”.

The sensitive detection of X-rays embodies an important research area, being motivated by a common desire to minimise the radiation doses required for detection. Inspired by the emergence of novel solution-processed high-Z semiconductors, this project aims to develop a complimentary in-house testing platform to uncover and characterise next-generation X-ray sensitive materials. By combining innovative measurement capabilities with rigorous evaluation criteria, we’re fast-tracking the technological readiness of these materials and ensuring their compatibility with real-world industrial applications. Through strong national and international collaborations with leading X-ray science partners, we’re not just testing technology — we’re validating their commercial future, establishing AMIO as a leader in the next generation of X-ray detector innovation.
