The race is on to make space components more dependable, affordable, scalable, and producible using agile manufacturing techniques as the aerospace industry moves quickly towards additive manufacturing (AM) as a method to convert innovative, physics-based designs into higher-performing parts.

Scientists at UNSW Sydney have devised a new technique to improve the efficiency and cost of hydrogen fuel cells in a push to increase access to clean fuel.  

A team of researchers led by RMIT University is paving the road across 10 Victorian sites with asphalt incorporated with recycled plastic from consumer and industrial waste. 

A group of bioengineers and biomedical scientists from the University of Sydney and the Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) at Westmead has developed an advanced environment for constructing tissue that replicates the architecture of an organ using 3D photolithographic printing.

Australia's flagship deep tech incubator Cicada Innovations has been awarded a $7.8 million grant to enable health and medtech startups to transform world-leading research into lifesaving innovations, which will be housed in the Westmead Health and Innovation District.

Missouri S&T researchers are developing new 3D-printed hydrogel dressings to hasten and improve the healing process for patients with second-degree burns.

Sydney-based space technology company Spiral Blue has partnered with the University of Sydney to kickstart the TOLIMAN Space Telescope Mission, an initiative that will apply artificial intelligence in astronomy research and exoplanet detection. 

A new report from Australia's national science agency CSIRO and the Tech Council of Australia has shed light on the location of the country's burgeoning tech industry, bringing together extensive data from throughout the country to map and characterise the various digital tech clusters that are now developing.

In the future, homes, cars, and other gadgets might be powered by an experimental ‘proton battery’ developed by RMIT researchers without the environmental challenges associated with lithium-ion batteries' end-of-life.

Additive manufacturing continues to revolutionise how components and tools are manufactured on a large scale. However, due to a lack of materials, lengthy print times, high cost, and strict quality criteria, 3D printing was not initially a feasible alternative for large-scale industrial manufacturing.
