Melbourne researchers target MW scale with proton battery technology
A team of engineers at Melbourne’s RMIT University have developed a rechargeable ‘proton battery’, claiming the technology has the potential, with further development, to store more energy than currently available lithium-ion batteries.
RMIT researchers reveal new method to split saltwater into hydrogen
Australian scientists have developed a new method to make hydrogen directly from seawater, describing the technology as a critical step towards a truly viable green hydrogen industry.
New light: Researchers extend the range of solar cell sensitivity
In a world-first, scientists in Australia and the United States have managed to upconvert light from below the silicon bandgap with the help of oxygen into high energy light that can be captured by silicon solar cells.
Solar hot air also rises, solar chimneys save energy and lives
Researchers at RMIT University have designed a solar chimney that both saves energy, and saves lives. The solar chimney, part of a range of sustainable features built into the new Mentone Reserve Pavilion in Melbourne’s Kingston.
