ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies

The ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies (or FLEET) is a collaboration of physicists, electrical engineers, chemists and material scientists from seven Australian universities developing ultra-low energy electronics aimed at reducing energy use in information technology (IT). The Centre was funded in the 2017 ARC funding round.
Aims.
FLEET aims to develop a new generation of ultra-low resistance electronic devices, capitalising on Australian research in atomically thin materials, topological materials, exciton superfluids and nanofabrication.
Programmes.
FLEET is pursuing three broad research themes to develop devices in which electrical current can flow without resistance: 
These approaches are enabled by the following two technologies:
Participants.
FLEET is an Australian initiative, headquartered at Monash University, and in conjunction with the Australian National University, the University of New South Wales, the University of Queensland, RMIT University, the University of Wollongong and Swinburne University of Technology, complemented by a group of Australian and international partners.
It is funded by the Australian Research Council and by the member universities.
FLEET's Director is Michael Fuhrer, who is an ARC Laureate Fellow in the School of Physics and Astronomy at Monash University studying two-dimensional materials (of which graphene is the most well known example), and topological insulators. Deputy Director is Alexander Hamilton at the University of New South Wales.
FLEET partners include Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, the Australian Synchrotron, California Institute of Technology, Columbia University in the City of New York, Johannes Gutenberg University at Mainz, University of Maryland Joint Quantum Institute & National Institute of Standards and Technology, Max Plank Institute of Quantum Optics, the National University of Singapore, the University of Colorado Boulder, University of Maryland Center for Nanophysics and Advanced Materials, the University of Texas at Austin, Tsinghua University at Beijing, and the University of Würzburg in Germany.
