Name: Nano Frontiers: Healing Brains & Sound-Powered Computers
Start: 2025-05-21T19:00:00
End: 2025-05-21T21:00:00
Location: BrewDog Fortitude Valley

Tiny tech, big dreams! Explore how nanotechnology is tackling brain cancer with pinpoint precision, and how sound-powered computers could revolutionize everything from AI to space travel. Tim and Taskeen take us into the microscopic world where science shrinks—but possibilities expand. It’s innovation at the atomic level!

Trampoline computers and how nanotechnology is made

Tim Hirsch (PhD candidate, University of Queensland)

Tim will explain how he's making nanomechanical computers, which run on sound waves instead of electricity. He is using them to solve problems ranging from exploring space to greening artificial intelligence. Along the way he’ll explain how nanotechnology is made and why our world depends on what scientists can put on chips.

Tiny Warriors: How Nanoparticles Can Revolutionize Brain Cancer Treatment

Dr Taskeen Janjua (Post-doc, University of Queensland)

Discover how nanotechnology is revolutionizing brain cancer treatment! This talk explores cutting-edge nanoparticles designed to cross the blood-brain barrier, delivering precise, targeted therapies with minimal side effects. Join us to learn about the future of nano-oncology and its life-saving potential.
