Harvesting ocean energy to generate an eco-friendly and widely available form of renewable energy

Inspired by membranes in the body tissues of living organisms, scientists have combined aramid nanofibers used in Kevlar with boron nitride to construct a membrane for harvesting ocean energy that is both strong like bone and suited for ion transport like cartilage. The research, published December 18 in the journal Joule, overcomes major design challenges

New solid-state lithium-ion batteries could double existing capacity and not catch fire

Deakin materials scientists have proven that liquid solvent-free solid state batteries can easily be made, paving the way for a future free from batteries catching fire or exploding if they get too hot. Research fellows at Deakin’s Institute for Frontier Materials Dr Fangfang Chen and Dr Xiaoen Wang say their discovery means that lithium-ion batteries

The challenge is microplastics are harming our drinking water

Plastics in our waste streams are breaking down into tiny particles, causing potentially catastrophic consequences for human health and our aquatic systems, finds research from the University of Surrey and Deakin’s Institute for Frontier Materials in a new study published by Journal of Water Research. Led by Dr Judy Lee and Marie Enfrin from the Department of Chemical and

A new type of reinforced concrete that doesn’t need any maintenance

A pedestrian bridge designed by Deakin University researchers for a North Geelong park will use a new type of reinforced concrete that doesn’t need any maintenance. The bridge over Cowies Creek at Deppeler Park will be made from sustainable concrete with carbon and glass fibre reinforcement that should ensure the bridge requires no maintenance over

A new method for exploring groundwater is simple, inexpensive and accurate

Engineering Geologists at KIT Develop a New Process with Australian Researchers to Quantify the State/Level of Groundwater and Subsurface Water is a vital resource for people and the environment. One of the most important sources is groundwater which is renewed from precipitation or surface water. Population growth as well as agriculture and industry strongly influence

Deakin builds world-first robotic surgical system with sense of touch

A world-first Deakin University innovation will give surgeons the sense of touch while they drive a robot to conduct keyhole surgery via a computer. The HeroSurg robot is a major breakthrough to current technology, which now limits robotic surgery to the sense of sight, and means laparoscopic, or keyhole/micro surgery, will be safer and more

Tiny sea creatures are heading for extinction, and could take local fisheries with them

A species of one of the world’s tiniest creatures, ocean plankton, is heading for extinction as it struggles to adapt to changes in sea temperature. And it may take local fisheries with it. Research led by Deakin University (Warrnambool, Australia) and Swansea University (UK) has found that a species of cold water plankton in the

Stain-shedding coating gets tough

Chemists have devised a better method of coating fabrics with a water-repellent, “self-cleaning” coating. Many such “super-hydrophobic” coatings have been made before, but a report in the journal Langmuir describes coated fabrics that are far more durable. The trick was to engineer a multi-layered coating whose layers, when struck with UV light, bond more firmly
