UNSW houses new ARC research hub
UNSW has announced the launch of the Australian Research Council (ARC) Research Hub for Connected Sensors for Health, which will focus on the manufacturing and development of wearable medical devices.
New method developed to make cheaper, more efficient EV fuel cells
Researchers from the UNSW Science School of Chemistry have developed a new technique for creating tiny 3D materials that could potentially help make cheaper and more sustainable fuel cells like hydrogen batteries.
Aussie EV record breakers! Sunswift 7 goes 1000km on a single charge in world’s...
An Australian solar-powered electric car, designed and built solely by university students, has claimed a provisional Guinness World Record by going 1000km on a single charge in under 12 hours.
I’m dreaming of a zinc Christmas?! Intricate ‘snowflakes’ created in liquid metal
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at UNSW Sydney’s School of Chemical Engineering where researchers have grown crystals made of zinc that look like snowflakes - inside a liquid metal.
UNSW Sydney solar pioneer wins Europe’s biggest technology innovation prize
UNSW Sydney Scientia Professor Martin Green has been awarded the 2022 Millennium Technology Prize for his leadership in the development of the Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell (PERC) – the world’s most commercially viable and efficient silicon solar cell technology.
World wide web: global database of spider silk to aid development of biomaterials
Now a new global study that has catalogued web silk properties of almost 1100 spiders hopes to provide a launchpad for the design of future biomaterials that emulate this wonder of nature.
New system retrofits diesel engines to run on 90 per cent hydrogen
Engineers from UNSW Sydney have successfully converted a diesel engine to run as a hydrogen-diesel hybrid engine – reducing CO2 emissions by more than 85 per cent in the process.
Oil and gas exploration and production threaten one of the world’s great desert river...
The Lake Eyre Basin rivers, including the iconic Georgina and Diamantina Rivers and Cooper Creek, flow through southwestern Queensland and the Northern Territory into Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre. Along the way, the rivers – among the most pristine in the world – fill more than 32 million hectares of floodplain wetlands, a massive part of Australia (almost a sixth).
For the longest time: quantum computing engineers set new standard in silicon chip performance
UNSW engineers have substantially extended the time that their quantum computing processors can hold information by more than 100 times compared to previous results.
UNSW unveils new 3D printing process for energy storage
University of New South Wales engineers have developed a 3D printing process using solid-state polymer electrolytes (SPE) for energy storage.
The research team from the...
