Welcome to CSIRO Inventions, a series looking at the discoveries and innovations borne from Australia’s national science agency. In this first instalment, we outline the story behind the plastic money…
A sponge like polymer for adsorbing carbon dioxide in power plant flue gas has been developed. Previous substances for carbon…
A unique cutting-edge carbon fibre research facility Carbon Nexus officially opened at Deakin University in Geelong last week. It houses laboratories, a pilot scale carbon fibre line and a smaller single-tow…
Researchers have discovered a new way to stabilise haemoglobin, the oxygen carrier protein in the blood. Researchers wrapped…
Carbon and carbon dioxide are found all around us. All living things contain carbon - it’s one of the essential building blocks of life and is fundamental to many chemical processes. Carbon dioxide (CO2…
A synthetic material both sensitive to touch and able to heal itself quickly has been created for the first time. Engineers…
Researchers have developed a new method of polymer synthesis based on two processes: “segregation” and “templating”. These…
Engineers have demonstrated the ability to quickly transform the texture of a plastic, switching from a rough to a smooth…
An advanced form of electricity-conducting plastic might be set to revolutionise the way cell regrowth is facilitated. Animal…
