Public lecture: How solar energy tech is now detecting COVID-19
How are COVID-19 test kits made and what does it have to do with solar power? Find out at this National Science Week public lecture.
About this event
Australia needs to conduct hundreds of thousands of COVID-19 tests each day, which means we need countless test kit components. This National Science Week, learn how researchers at the University of Melbourne have risen to the challenge of developing one of these parts locally, with help from the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO).
This public lecture is hosted by the ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science. Exciton Science transforms light into energy and energy back into light. Made up of chemists, engineers and physicists across five different universities, we’re working towards a more energy efficient future by developing new solar harvesting technology.
Featuring Dr Nicholas Kirkwood from Exciton Science and Dr Valerie Mitchell from ANSTO. Register now!
