RMIT University says it has entered a new three-year agreement with NBN Co aimed at advancing research and innovation to support Australia’s future digital infrastructure.

RMIT University researchers have reported new findings showing that biochar derived from spent coffee grounds can help produce lower-carbon concrete, following what the university describes as the first life-cycle analysis of its kind examining the material’s environmental impacts from production through to end of life.

A collaboration between RMIT University and Bristile Roofing has led to the development of sustainable roof tiles made from coal ash and recycled glass, achieving a 13 per cent reduction in CO? emissions compared to traditional concrete tiles.

RMIT University researchers have developed new ultra-thin filters designed to separate valuable chemicals from liquid mixtures more efficiently, a breakthrough the university says could support cleaner and more sustainable manufacturing processes for medicines, dyes and other industrial products.

RMIT University researchers are developing a new generation of manufactured blood tests that could enable earlier detection of kidney disease and simpler at-home monitoring, under a $1.125 million research partnership with Australian diagnostic company Nexsen Limited.

RMIT University has announced the development of an experimental 3D-printed diamond–titanium device that can generate electricity from flowing liquid and wirelessly receive power through tissue, which researchers say could pave the way for next-generation medical implants that never require battery replacement.

Engineers at RMIT University have developed a new construction material made from cardboard, soil and water that has only a quarter of the carbon footprint of concrete while cutting down on waste going to landfill.

Researchers from RMIT University have developed a reusable smart wound monitoring device that could reduce infection risks and healthcare costs by enabling remote assessment of chronic wounds, a condition that affects around 500,000 Australians and costs the healthcare system approximately $3 billion annually.

Engineers at RMIT University have developed a new type of 3D-printed titanium alloy that is approximately 29 per cent cheaper to produce than commonly used titanium alloys, marking what researchers describe as a significant advancement in additive manufacturing.

Researchers at RMIT University have developed a new experimental technique that uses contaminants in wastewater to enhance the production of green hydrogen, potentially reducing dependence on fresh water, a resource increasingly under pressure in many parts of the world.
