Spoonful of Sugar for Longer Lasting Lithium Sulfur Batteries

Simply by adding sugar, researchers have created a longer-lasting, lighter, more sustainable rival to the lithium-ion batteries that are essential for aviation, electric vehicles and submarines.

SpaceCows: Using AI to Tackle Feral Herds in Australia

Unmanaged feral cattle and buffaloes have a huge impact on biodiversity including land degradation, overgrazing of native vegetation, erosion and destruction to rivers and wetlands. CSIRO and Microsoft are working on the digital twin project, dubbed SpaceCows, as part of the collaborative satellite herd-tracking program.

Low Cost Titanium Wire for Additive Manufacturing

The wire can be used to make large complex parts for markets such as aerospace, biomedical, defence, marine, automotive, construction and consumer goods.

MGA Thermal Raises AUD$8 Million for Thermal Energy Storage Blocks

MGA Thermal has raised AUD$8 million to expand manufacturing capacity and export their thermal energy storage blocks globally.

Toyota Hydrogen Production and Re-Fuelling Facility in Australia

Toyota has commissioned Victoria's first commercial-grade permanent hydrogen production, storage and refuelling facility at its former manufacturing site at Altona in Melbourne's west.

SOR Battery Ink Exceeds 4V From Moisture in Air

Strategic Elements Ltd has achieved another significant milestone with its self-charging battery technology successfully generating an output of over 4V from moisture in the air over a testing period of approx. 5 hours. This was achieved through development of a prototype battery pack containing multiple connected battery ink cells.

Robot Fleet Dives for Climate Answers in Marine Snow

A fleet of new-generation, deep-diving ocean robots will be deployed in the Southern Ocean, in a major study of how marine life acts as a handbrake on global warming. The automated probes will be looking for 'marine snow', which is the name given to the shower of dead algae and carbon-rich organic particles that sinks from upper waters to the deep ocean.

New Findings Speed Progress Towards Affordable Gene Therapy

In a promising advance for affordable, personalised medicine, researchers have used metal-organic frameworks to successfully deliver the genetic snipping tool CRISPR/Cas9 into human cancer cells. Researchers used metal-organic frameworks enhanced with a green tea phytochemical coating to target human prostate cancer cells for the first time.

AI, Machine Learning to end Plastic Waste

The Plastics Mission, one of 12 missions in development by CSIRO is using science and technology, to address Australia's plastics waste issue.

Flexible Self-Charging Battery Under Development

Strategic Elements Ltd subsidiary Australian Advanced Materials has agreed to develop a self-charging battery technology through its collaboration with the University of New South Wales and CSIRO. The Battery cells create electricity from humidity in the air or skin surface to self-charge themselves within minutes.

Robot Detects 14 Million Tonnes of Microplastics on the Seafloor

Using a robotic submarine CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, has provided the first ever global estimate for microplastics on the seafloor, with results suggesting there are 14 million tonnes in the deep ocean.

Adding Copper Strengthens 3D Printed Titanium, Study Finds

Successful trials of titanium-copper alloys for 3D printing could kickstart a new range of high-performance alloys for medical device and aerospace applications.

Titomic

Dr Bryony Core met Titomic at Formnext 2019. They are a 3D printer manufacturer specialising in industrial scale metal additive manufacturing.

New 3D Printing Technique Produces 'Living' 4D Materials

Repairing and reusing plastics and delivering cancer drugs more effectively are only two of many of the potential applications a new 3D/4D printing technology might have, thanks to the pioneering work of a research collaboration between UNSW Sydney and The University of Auckland.

Piotrek and CSIRO to make next-gen lithium batteries for global market

A new partnership between Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, and Japanese specialist chemical manufacturer, Piotrek, will see Australian-developed battery technologies commercialised globally within the next five years.

'Vaccine' against attacks on machine learning

Researchers have developed a world-first set of techniques to effectively 'vaccinate' algorithms against adversarial attacks, a significant advancement in machine learning research.

Tech accelerates hydrogen vehicle future

This technology will pave the way for bulk hydrogen to be transported in the form of ammonia, using existing infrastructure, and then reconverted back to hydrogen at the point of use. It has the potential to fill the gap in the technology chain to supply fuel cell vehicles around the world with low-emissions hydrogen sourced from Australia.

Funding for wind-powered ocean sailing drones

Saildrone, Inc., a provider of high-resolution ocean data collected via a fleet of unmanned surface vehicles, announced that it has closed a $60 million round of Series B funding to scale up its global fleet of ocean drones to help monitor the state of the planet in real time.
