Researchers at RMIT University have developed and tested a wastewater treatment approach that removed more than 90 per cent of microplastics by combining microbubbles and nanobubbles during the treatment process.

Researchers at RMIT University have developed a bio-inspired robotic bird that is helping scientists better understand how kestrels maintain stable flight in turbulent conditions, with the findings expected to inform the design of more resilient small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAVs).

A new RMIT study suggests a high-power ultrasound process could offer food manufacturers a way to extract protein from discarded cauliflower leaves, pointing to potential value in vegetable waste streams.

Eucalyptus bark, typically stripped from logs and discarded as forestry waste, could be repurposed into materials for cleaning polluted water, filtering air and capturing carbon dioxide, according to new research from RMIT University.

RMIT University researchers have developed a sound wave-based manufacturing technique capable of creating and applying protective coatings on delicate surfaces, including living plant leaves, according to a new study published in Science Advances.

Research from RMIT University has found that a flexible plastic film designed with ultra-fine nanoscale textures can mechanically destroy viruses on contact, pointing to a potentially scalable manufacturing approach for antiviral surfaces used in healthcare and consumer products.

Australian researchers at RMIT University have developed a smart wound dressing that can both monitor and treat wounds, a development they say could improve care for patients with chronic wounds.

Australian researchers have achieved a milestone in energy storage technology with the creation of the world’s first proof-of-concept quantum battery, according to CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency.

Engineers at RMIT University have developed a small remote-controlled robot designed to collect oil spills from the surface of water, using a filtration system inspired by sea urchins.

New research from RMIT University suggests an Australian desert plant commonly known as Old Man Saltbush could offer food manufacturers a natural way to boost protein content and reduce added salt in staple foods.
