More than $10.7 million was awarded to 17 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide projects in the latest round of 最新糖心Vlogn Research Council (ARC) Discovery Projects grants.

The awarded projects include research that will benefit critical mineral extraction, battery technology, environmental remediation, herbicide resistance, and improving motor learning in older people.

Discovery Projects grants are awarded to individuals and research teams whose work contributes to the growth of 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 research and innovation capacity.

鈥淭he wide berth of exceptional talent at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is well reflected in these projects funded through the ARC鈥檚 Discovery Project scheme,鈥� says the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 Professor Anton Middelberg, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research).

鈥淥ur world-class research continues to contribute to the solutions for some of society鈥檚 most challenging problems, while building 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 future and knowledge base.鈥�

The full list of funded 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide projects are:

A team led by听Professor Nigel Cook听was awarded听$894,043听to develop machine learning algorithms for a computational toolkit that can predict trace element behaviour, solubility limits, and copper-iron-sulphide speciation, and which will be adaptable to other sulphide systems.

Associate Prof Darren Creek (Monash 最新糖心Vlog) & Associate Prof Danny Wilson听(IPAS member) were awarded $841,033听to explore molecular mechanisms behind malaria parasites鈥� rapid replication to inform new interventions.

Professor Paul Thomas and Professor Dr Anna Lindholm听were awarded听$803,784听to develop new genetic biocontrol technology to address the negative impact of invasive mammals on 最新糖心Vlogn agriculture and the environment.

A team led by听Associate Professor Jonathan Tyler听was awarded听$751,276听for a project which will help to develop records of climate and environment on Kangaroo Island to inform sustainable fire management and biodiversity conservation both on the island and across south-eastern 最新糖心Vlog.

A team led by听Professor Zaiping Guo听was awarded听$727,100听to develop scientific design principles for high-performance solid-state lithium batteries via extensive theoretical modelling and cutting-edge characterisation techniques.

A team led by听Dr Amy Clair听was awarded听$693,896听for international comparative, quantitative and qualitative analyses to provide new insights and a roadmap to support 最新糖心Vlog to provide current and future generations with good housing outcomes.

A team led by听Dr Cameron Shearer听was awarded听$693,889听for a project that will develop a patentable new technology to transform environmental remediation methods.

Associate Professor Tak W. Kee听(IPAS member) was awarded听$693,889听to develop light-driven technologies to degrade persistent environmental pollutants.

Dr Tatiana Soares da Costa and Dr Lesley Cheng听were awarded听$666,653听to investigate how plant communication via extracellular vesicles may mediate herbicide resistance to develop new strategies for monitoring of resistance, targets for resistance circumvention, and restoration of herbicide susceptibility in resistant weeds.

A team led by听Professor Alan Collins听was awarded听$661,834听to study ancient rocks that formed in different oceans to gain insight on the evolution of oceanic dissolved oxygen and understand its impact on how complex cells evolved, and links to major critical metal deposits.

Emeritus Professor Stephen Tyerman and Professor Rainer Hedrich听were awarded听$658,069听for a project that will improve wheat nutrient use via the plant nitrogen鈥損otassium鈥搘ater nexus, providing significant benefits to farmers by creating new options for improved nutrient use efficiency in economically relevant plants, while also reducing the need for costly fertilisers.

Professor Yan Jiao and Dr Damien Voiry听were awarded听$618,299听for a project which will leverage a combination of advanced molecular modelling for electrocatalyst/electrolyte prediction and experimental synthesis for performance testing to address the critical knowledge gap in sustainable chemistry regarding converting CO2 into propylene.

A team led by听Associate Professor John Semmler听was awarded听$574,888听for a project that will use a novel form of non-invasive brain stimulation combined with multimodal techniques to investigate how synchronising brain oscillations at specific frequencies can improve motor learning in older adults.

A team led by听Professor Simon Holford听was awarded听$555,092听to develop a systematic, process-oriented approach to define geological controls on the origin and transport of natural hydrogen and provide a framework for identifying drilling targets and quantifying exploration risks.

A team led by听Dr Alexander Francke听was awarded听$545,825听for a project that will track 600,000 years of flooding and aridification in 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 deserts to understand how tropical rainfall promotes excessive wet pulses and floods in 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 iconic dry desert interior.

A team led by听Professor Ching Tai Ng听was awarded听$544,078听to develop a new inspection technology for 最新糖心Vlog with hard-to-inspect conditions, using fully non-contact nonlinear laser ultrasonics.

Dr Benjamin Liffner and Associate Professor Danny Wilson听(IPAS member) were awarded听$529,832听to investigate two evolutionarily divergent parasites relevant to human and livestock health: Plasmodium, a mosquito-transmitted parasite that causes malaria, and Cryptosporidium, a gastrointestinal parasite.

A team led by听Professor Amanda Nettelbeck听was awarded听$461,067听for a project focusing on transcultural and gendered histories of 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 railways, which will contribute to a digital story map with the aim of making 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 transcultural and gendered railway heritage accessible to new audiences.

Professor Lisa Hill听was awarded听$403,272听to explore how Epicureanism impacted the British contribution to early modern political liberalism, classical political economy, and utilitarianism by assessing how it affected the works of seven key thinkers: Hobbes, Locke, Mandeville, Hume, Smith, Bentham and Mill.
