New Scientist : The University of Sydney has completed construction of its Sydney Nanoscience Hub, billed as one of the most environmentally controlled research complexes in the world. The building comprises nanofabrication facilities, teaching spaces, and multiple laboratories that are shielded from electromagnetic radiation by Faraday cages. Special filters keep the air ultraclean, and floating floors stabilize work areas to protect them from vibrations such as those created by people walking in the halls and pressure waves from closing doors. Research at the hub will range from the development of nanobatteries for renewable energy storage to biomedical research into the tiny bubbles released by the human immune system.
