A new set of reports has presented a crucial roadmap for moving Australia toward a circular economy, outlining the opportunities to use design to enhance the sustainability of manufacturing methods, materials, products, and business models across local industries, as announced by RMIT university.

Engineers from RMIT University, in collaboration with materials technology company Livefield, have developed new fire-proof building claddings out of recycled glass. 

CSIRO and the US National Science Foundation (NSF) have established a multi-million-dollar partnership to accelerate research initiatives aimed at tackling global challenges, such as climate change, building low-emissions technologies, and developing ethical artificial intelligence. 

The North Australia Centre for Autonomous Systems at Charles Darwin University (CDU) has created the new “Diploma of Advanced Manufacturing” to help NT enterprises make the transition to Industry 4.0 and cut down on expenses and business waste.

Scientists from RMIT University have developed what they claim is a cheaper and more energy-efficient way to make hydrogen directly from seawater in a push to boost the green hydrogen industry.

The University of Adelaide, RMIT University (RMIT) and University of Technology Sydney (UTS) are set to team up on a national Women in STEM (WiSTEM) outreach program that aims to close the gender gap in STEM subjects in primary and secondary schools.

Engineers from RMIT University are experimenting with the use of high-frequency sound waves and the nanomaterial MXene that could potentially triple the lifespan of cell phone batteries.

The importance of having a resilient supply chain has been heavily emphasised as skyrocketing costs of essential items are showing no signs of slowing down in Australia and across the globe. 

Research led by Monash University, RMIT and the University of Adelaide has developed an accurate method of controlling optical circuits on fingernail-sized photonic integrated circuits.

Engineers in Melbourne have used sound waves to boost production of green hydrogen by 14 times, through electrolysis to split water.
