1+ day, 3+ hour ago   (1221+ words) National Science Week is returning with a program that leans heavily into stories about women in science, gender gaps in knowledge and research areas that have historically been sidelined or overlooked. Running from 15 to 23 August, the annual festival features more…...

1+ mon, 2+ week ago   (1303+ words) A team of engineers at Monash University has developed a method for extracting lithium from solid salt mixtures that eliminates the need for freshwater and relies on common organic solvents powered by solar energy. The technique, called solar-driven selective dissolution…...

2+ mon, 2+ week ago   (397+ words) Engineers at Monash University have developed an atomically thin membrane that allows hydrogen fuel cells to operate at high temperatures without relying on water for proton transport, addressing a long-standing limitation in clean energy technology. The research, published in Science…...

2+ mon, 3+ week ago   (626+ words) An international research team has demonstrated that a new class of glass made from metal-organic frameworks can be tuned using the same chemical principles that have been applied to conventional glass for centuries, a finding that could make the materials…...

3+ mon, 1+ week ago   (822+ words) Researchers at the University of New South Wales have built an artificial intelligence-assisted workflow designed to replace the slow and costly trial-and-error methods that have long defined how new semiconductor materials are found. The approach targets hybrid perovskites, a class…...

4+ mon, 7+ hour ago   (777+ words) Researchers at Monash University have directly observed the atomic-scale movements that write data to next-generation memory devices for the first time, in a breakthrough that could reshape the future of electronics. The study, published in Nature Communications, reveals the precise…...

4+ mon, 3+ week ago   (823+ words) A UK-based start-up co-founded by a Monash University PhD graduate has secured seed funding to commercialise a catalytic process that converts captured carbon dioxide into acetic acid, a chemical used across a wide range of industries. COOloop, co-founded by Monash…...
