Applications are now being accepted for Manufacturing Skills Australia's Industry Development Fund, which offers support payments of between $1,000 and $10,000  through research, education and training. 

Scientists at UNSW Sydney have developed an electronic device designed to mimic the function of human skin. 

Australia’s first nuclear science research facility at Lucas Heights is celebrating its 70th year of hosting technological advances and sophisticated research work in Australia. 

The Australian government is deploying a total of $4.6 million in grants to support education and collaboration within the country’s quantum industry. 

Making automobiles lighter is one of several techniques to reduce the energy necessary for transportation. In particular, high-strength (HS) steels are ideal candidates for this application because their higher weight-to-strength ratio allows for the use of less metal to achieve comparable structural integrity. 

The Albanese government has published a discussion paper on the development of a new National Robotics Strategy as part of an effort to foster advanced manufacturing in Australia. 

Manufacturers using welding techniques suffer from limitations in realising complex structures because of the limited process of building one layer at a time – this is because subsequent layers are laminated after complete solidification preventing the molten metal from flowing down. As a result, a cooling period is necessary, and the circumstances that can be laminated are restricted to certain examples.

The US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and Progress Rail, a Caterpillar subsidiary, are working together to develop a variety of biodiesel and renewable diesel fuels with the goal of lowering the carbon intensity of the fuels used in the US freight rail industry.

Lower electric costs for customers and more reliable sustainable energy could be some of the benefits of a new study by the University of Adelaide researchers who investigated how predictable solar or wind energy generation is and its impact on electricity market income.

A group of scientists from the Missouri University of Science and Technology is leading research focused on a method for 3D printing nanoparticles to create human tissue.
