Silex Systems’s ZS-Si Project achieves highest purity of silicon-28
Australian laser enrichment technology developer Silex Systems has completed the pilot testing of its Zero-Spin Silicon Project, yielding results for the production of high-purity ZS-Si, which is critical for the manufacturing of next-generation silicon quantum processor chips.
UNSW launches new ARC Microrecyling Hub for batteries, complex waste
UNSW Sydney is now home to the new ARC Research Hub for Battery and Consumer Wastes, which seeks to recover valuable materials found in Australia’s batteries and other complex wastes.
What is PFAS and why is it a problem?
A widespread effort to limit and phase out the use of “forever” chemicals called Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is taking over the world, especially now that the chemicals have taken a foothold in almost every material in our everyday lives.
UNSW engineers develop new tool to measure structure of materials
Engineers at UNSW Sydney have developed a new electron spin-measuring device that could help scientists understand the structure and purpose of materials better.
