New smart muscle textile can both support and monitor movement

ACES researchers have for the first time, developed a smart textile from carbon nanotube and spandex fibres that can both sense and move in response to a stimulus like a muscle or joint. “We have already made intelligent materials as sensors and integrated them into devices such as a knee sleeve that can be used

Scientists Put a New Twist on Artificial Muscles

In recent years, researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas and colleagues at the University of Wollongong in Australia have put a high-tech twist on the ancient art of fiber spinning, using modern materials to create ultra-strong, powerful, shape-shifting yarns. In a perspective article published Sept. 26 online in the Proceedings of the National

4D Printing to Rewrite Book on Cool Tech

Four-dimensional printing is unfolding as technology that takes 3D printing to an entirely new level The fourth dimension is time, shape shifting in fact, and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES) at the University of Wollongong (UOW) is helping to set the pace in the next revolution in additive manufacturing. Just as

A sustainable approach for the world’s fish supply

China’s booming aquaculture industry is increasingly dependent on fishmeal made from wild-caught fish, a practice that depletes wild fish stocks. A new study conducted by institutions including Leiden University and Stanford offers a more sustainable path. The study appeared in the journal Science on 9 January. The researchers propose recycling the waste by-products from seafood

Low Cost, Super Efficient Offshore Wind Turbines for a Clean Energy Future

Researchers from UOW are developing technologies for next generation offshore wind turbines that are one-third the price and 1,000 times more efficient, and they could be installed off the coast of Australia in the next five years. Materials scientist Dr Shahriar Hossain, from the Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials at UOW, said current conventional

BioPen to Rewrite Orthopaedic Implants Surgery

A handheld ‘bio pen’ developed in the labs of the University of Wollongong (UOW) will allow surgeons to design customised implants on-site and at the time of surgery. The BioPen, developed by researchers from the UOW-headquarteredAustralian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES), will give surgeons greater control over where the materials are deposited

UOW technology in stem cell breakthrough

Melbourne scientists have been able to “grow” human cartilage from stem cells with the help of 3D printing technologies developed at the University of Wollongong. Scientists at the university’s Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES) developed the 3D scaffolds which were used to grow the cartilage cells, or chondrocytes. The medical

PowerWINDows aims to rethink the wind turbine

How about skyscrapers outfitted with rotating window panels? Wind farms may be hitting the big time, but that hasn’t deterred inventors and technologists from tinkering, or even reinventing, the turbine itself. In the past few months we’ve seen wind energy systems that use discs attached to hydraulics and even charged water droplets, but how about skyscrapers outfitted with rotating
