A new report from Monash University has outlined possible futures for industries shaped by quantum technology, including manufacturing, and recommended steps to help Australia become “quantum-ready” through workforce development and cross-sector collaboration.

Engineers at Monash University have developed an ultra-thin membrane designed to improve the efficiency of fuel cells operating at high temperatures, in a breakthrough the researchers say could support wider use of clean energy technologies in transport and industry.

Monash University researchers have developed a new filtering material designed to improve the efficiency of plastic recycling by helping recover and reuse chemicals used in the process, according to a study published in the Chemical Engineering Journal.

Australia could green its heavy industry and expand low-emissions exports, but scaling up remains the key challenge, according to an expert analysis by researchers from Monash University and UNSW Sydney.

Monash University’s Institute of Railway Technology (Monash IRT) and Rio Tinto have signed a Master Supply Agreement to provide railway research and development services aimed at improving the performance, safety and reliability of Rio Tinto’s rail network in Western Australia.

A common mineral that accounts for the majority of the world’s copper supply could play a key role in improving how the metal is extracted, according to new research from Monash University published in Nature Geoscience.

The Australian government announced in late February a $310 million acquisition of nuclear submarine components from the United Kingdom. The payment will support the manufacture of nuclear-powered submarines to be built in Osborne, South Australia. The investment follows a larger GBP 2.4 billion Australian contribution to expand Rolls-Royce Submarines' production capacity.

A review led by researchers from Monash University suggests that improving how robots predict human behaviour could help make manufacturing environments safer, more adaptive and efficient, as the sector transitions toward Industry 5.0.

Monash University will showcase a range of student-led engineering projects at the FORMULA 1 QATAR AIRWAYS AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX, using the international motorsport event as a platform to highlight innovation in mobility, aerospace, robotics and autonomous systems.

Monash University and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have developed a solar-powered desalination prototype capable of producing continuous drinking water, addressing a common limitation in existing systems.
