From the groundbreaking chemistry of Melbourne’s Nobel Prize-winning Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) to microplastics trapped in extreme ocean depths, researchers across Australia are reshaping how we build, recycle, and re-engineer materials. Dive into the cutting-edge local science driving sustainable agriculture, AI-designed industrial alloys, synchrotron-based polymer research, and bio-plastics generated directly from Victorian food waste.
Australians are living longer. The whole nation is ageing. But how we age is not just a matter for senior citizens. The latest research shows that making the right lifestyle choices when we are young increases the chances of a healthy old age. And the findings are remarkable consistent.
