The 2026 ARC Discovery Projects round awarded over $370 million nationally across all disciplines, with six NSW quantum science and technology projects receiving $3.75M in funding.
Tessara Therapeutics, Chromos Labs, and the University of Melbourne have already successfully demonstrated the feasibility of integrating diamond micropillar arrays with Tessara’s RealBrain® micro-tissues, achieving world-first high-aspect-ratio pillar fabrication and validating their ability to detect millivolt-scale electrical signals relevant to neural activity.
