This breakthrough permits the salvaging of up to 40% of the discarded rubber for the manufacture of new tyres In partnership with the Dutch University of Groningen, Thai scientist Sitisaiyidah Saiwari of the University of Twente, also in the Netherlands, has developed a novel recycling method for end-of-life tyres. This breakthrough permits the salvaging of

A reimagining of today’s computer chips by UNSW engineers shows how a quantum computer can be manufactured – using mostly standard silicon technology. A reimagining of today’s computer chips by Australian and Dutch engineers shows how a quantum computer can be manufactured – using mostly standard silicon technology. Research teams all over the world are

In the future, small paper and plastic devices will be able to connect to the internet for a short duration, providing information on everything from healthcare to consumer products, before they are thrown away. Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York have developed a micro biobattery that could power these disposable sensors. The

Researchers discover how to generate plants with enhanced drought resistance without penalizing growth By modifying steroid hormone signaling, a research team led by CRAG researcher Ana Caño-Delgado has obtained plants that are more resistant to water scarcity To this date, the scientific community had not been able to obtain a drought resistant plant without affecting

The next generation of waterproof smart fabrics will be laser printed and made in minutes. That’s the future imagined by the researchers behind new e-textile technology. Scientists from RMIT University have developed a cost-efficient and scaleable method for rapidly fabricating textiles that are embedded with energy storage devices. In just three minutes, the method can

Results are first to suggest how to engineer even warmer superconductors with atom-by-atom control A study at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory suggests for the first time how scientists might deliberately engineer superconductors that work at higher temperatures. In their report, a team led by SLAC and Stanford University researchers explains why

Picking faces out of a crowd is something humans are hardwired to do, but training computers to act in the same way is much more difficult. There have been various breakthroughs in this field in recent months, but the latest could be the most significant yet. Researchers from Yahoo Labs and Stanford University have developed

A world-first study has revealed that “robust” reef-building corals are the only known organisms in the animal kingdom to make one of the “essential” amino acids, which may make them less susceptible than other corals to global warming. Using advanced genomic techniques, a team of researchers led by Dr Hua (Emily) Ying of The Australian National
