Australia's efforts to reduce emissions from steelmaking could receive a boost through a research project led by the University of New South Wales (UNSW) aimed at adapting existing blast furnace technology to operate with lower carbon emissions.

Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a lightweight wearable sensor that could one day allow patients with heart and breathing conditions to be monitored continuously at home, potentially supporting earlier detection of health issues and reducing the need for hospital visits.

Artificial intelligence could play a decisive role in lifting Australia’s future living standards, but only if the country takes a strategic approach to investment and control, according to the UNSW AI Institute.

A new national research hub dedicated to addressing the growing challenge of solar panel waste has been launched at UNSW Sydney, marking what the university describes as an Australian-first initiative focused on photovoltaic recycling and sustainability.

Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have developed an artificial intelligence-assisted workflow aimed at accelerating the discovery of next-generation semiconductor materials by replacing traditional trial-and-error methods with a targeted, data-driven approach, according to UNSW.

Researchers at University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney) have developed a new process that can convert discarded peanut shells into high-quality graphene, offering a cheaper and more sustainable pathway for advanced material production and future manufacturing applications.

UNSW Sydney says its engineers have set a world record for the performance of solar cells made from antimony chalcogenide, an emerging photovoltaic material, marking a significant advance in manufacturing for next-generation solar technology.

A new study by researchers at UNSW Sydney has found that around 20 per cent of solar panels may degrade far faster than expected, with some potentially lasting only half of their anticipated lifetime.

UNSW Sydney researchers have demonstrated a new approach that could boost the efficiency of solar panels by making sunlight work harder – splitting one photon of light into two packets of usable energy.

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has committed up to $3.96 million to support Lab 360 Solar, a University of New South Wales start-up, in developing drone-based technology for inspecting solar farms.
