Melbourne-based medtech company Sleeptite has secured a US patent for smart bedding technology developed with RMIT University researchers, with a recent study indicating the sensors can be manufactured using scalable production techniques while maintaining performance and durability.

RMIT University researcher Lisa Piller has helped develop a textile recycling pathway that transforms retired Western Australian Parks and Wildlife Service uniforms into new yarns and fashion garments, exploring opportunities to reuse technical textiles that might otherwise be discarded.

Australia’s shift towards electric vehicles (EVs), rooftop solar and other renewable energy technologies is expected to create growing volumes of end-of-life waste, according to researchers at RMIT University.

Manufacturing advances at RMIT University have supported the development of a prototype neuromorphic vision system that researchers say could eventually contribute to smart bionic eyes and other low-energy artificial intelligence technologies.

A nanomanufacturing-driven imaging chip developed through collaboration between Zhejiang University and RMIT University could allow cameras and sensing systems to detect far more detail than conventional colour imaging, including subtle differences in materials and environments that are otherwise indistinguishable to the human eye, according to researchers.

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.

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.
