Simple test could help predict risk of Alzheimer’s disease 20 years in advance
A simple, cheap and non-invasive blood test could help predict a person’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease up to 20 years before symptoms show.
Open now: calls for proposals to develop sensing for disasters
The Connectivity Innovation Network (CIN) in collaboration with the NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN) is calling for proposals to develop innovative disaster sensing technologies in the fields of physical and information sciences and engineering.
The Sensor - October 2023
Learn about the idea and people behind the NSW Smart Sensing Network's bid to establish a Smart Sensing for Australian Resilience Cooperative Research Centre (CRC). We also co-hosted a conference in Lismore with the Connectivity Innovation Network to help communities better prepare for floods. And read about two inspiring future leaders in smart sensing.
Connecting to save lives and communities during floods
A conference co-hosted by the NSSN and the Connectivity Innovation Network in Lismore last week discussed how better connectivity – and connected sensors – can help communities better prepare and respond to floods.
The Semiconductor Bureau helping Australia establish its own identity in the global microchip space
The new Semiconductor Sector Service Bureau (S3B) is allowing NSW to carve out its own microchip space in the world, with sovereign capabilities and increased participation in the global supply chain.

Meet two future leaders in smart sensing and read about their applications of sensors to solve real world problems.
Collaborative bid announced for Smart Sensing for Australian Resilience CRC
The NSW Smart Sensing Network is proud to champion a bid to establish a Smart Sensing for Australian Resilience Cooperative Research Centre (CRC), with the University of Sydney as the lead research institution.
Floods, fires and defence: pushing the boundaries of smart sensing through situational awareness
In this thought piece, NSSN Ambassador at the University of Sydney and bid leader for the Smart Sensing for Australian Resilience Collaborative Research Centre (CRC), Associate Professor Sergio Leon-Saval, discusses his ambitions for the CRC.
Breathtaking: the whistle that might save lives
Researchers are hopeful the new Ketowhistle could spare people living with diabetes from invasive tests and help them take control of their health.
Single drop of ethanol to revolutionise nanosensor manufacture
Macquarie University engineers - led by NSW Smart Sensing Network Ambassador, Associate Professor Noushin Nasiri - have developed a new technique to make the manufacture of nanosensors far less carbon-intensive, much cheaper, more efficient, and more versatile, substantially improving a key process in this trillion-dollar global industry.
The Sensor- September 2023
We are springing into spring with a must-read article on the evolution of smart sensing by the newest addition to the NSSN Board, Hebbat Manhy. The ever-popular NSSN Sensing Industry Connect series returned to Sydney, hosted by the University of Sydney, and we look at the company set to revolutionise the mining industry through groundbreaking (pardon the pun) smart sensing.
Exploring the Vast Landscape of Smart Sensing: From IoT to Quantum Sensors and beyond
In this thought piece, NSSN Board Member, Hebbat Manhy, takes us on a journey through the evolution of smart sensing.
