“Researchers have developed a cost-effective and eco-friendly way of producing graphene using one of Australia’s most abundant resources, eucalyptus trees. Graphene is the thinnest and strongest material known to humans. It’s also flexible, transparent and conducts heat and …
“Researchers have used liquid metals to turn carbon dioxide back into solid coal, in a world-first breakthrough that could transform our approach to carbon capture and storage. The research team led by RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, have developed a …
“The secret ingredient for the next generation of more powerful electronics could be air, according to new research. Researchers at RMIT University have engineered a new type of transistor, the building block for all electronics. Instead of sending electrical currents …
“Managing vitamin absorption and avoiding sun damage could soon be as simple as slipping on a bracelet thanks to new personalised sensors. RMIT researchers have developed an ultraviolet (UV) active ink that changes colour when exposed to different types of …
“A new microscopy technique developed at RMIT allows researchers to see more of what’s happening inside cells. The new “bleaching-assisted multichannel microscopy” (BAMM) technique improves the quantity of information captured in fluorescence microscopy. This will allow researchers to better …
“The “Back to the Future” time machine runs on an imaginary flux capacitor but could the movie invention become reality? In the popular movie franchise Back to the Future, an eccentric scientist creates a time machine that runs on a …
“Scientists from Australia and China have drawn on the durable power of gold to demonstrate a new type of high-capacity optical disk that can hold data securely for more than 600 years. The technology could offer a more cost-efficient and …
“RMIT University researchers have demonstrated for the first time a working rechargeable “proton battery” that could re-wire how we power our homes, vehicles and devices. The rechargeable battery is environmentally friendly, and has the potential, with further development, to store …
“A major new Australian research project using 3D implants and robotic surgery is set to radically advance the way physicians surgically treat tumours and bone cancer. The five-year project, “Just in time implants”, brings together the Australian Government, RMIT University …
“RMIT researchers have used liquid metal to create two-dimensional materials no thicker than a few atoms that have never before been seen in nature. The incredible breakthrough will not only revolutionise the way we do chemistry but could be applied …
“Australian and German researchers have collaborated to develop a genetic algorithm to confirm the rejection of classical notions of causality. RMIT’s Dr Alberto Peruzzo said: “Bell’s theorem excludes classical concepts of causality and is now a cornerstone of …
