Scientists working on new materials to meet the challenges of the 21st century are gathering in Melbourne today for the annual Frontiers of Science conference.
Materials for the 21st Century: From design to application is the latest in the Australian Academy of Science’s Theo Murphy Frontiers of Science series which brings the best young Australian scientists together with leaders in their fields.
This year experts will explore new techniques and materials to improve drug delivery, energy and food production, as well as ways to develop the next generation of flexible electronics.
A special session will also be held to examine the challenges for women in engineering and materials science.
