Speeding up sugar's conversion into fuel
“We’re only at the dawn of what is a very exciting age in this space”
19-Jan-2023
University of Queensland researchers have found a way to more efficiently convert sugarcane into a building block of aviation fuel and other products. By zeroing in on a specific enzyme, a UQ team working in collaboration with the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has sped up the slowest step ...
Superworms capable of munching through plastic waste
The long-term goal is to engineer enzymes to degrade plastic waste
14-Jun-2022
Researchers at the University of Queensland have found a species of worm with an appetite for polystyrene could be the key to plastic recycling on a mass scale. Scientists discovered the commonZophobas morio‘superworm’ can eat through polystyrene, thanks to a bacterial enzyme in their gut. Dr ...
Discovery paves the way for faster computers, longer-lasting batteries
Researchers have has discovered a ‘recipe’ which allows molecular switches to work at room temperature
10-Jun-2022
University of Queensland scientists have cracked a problem that’s frustrated chemists and physicists for years, potentially leading to a new age of powerful, efficient, and environmentally friendly technologies. Using quantum mechanics,Professor Ben Powellfrom UQ’sSchool of Mathematics and ...
Next-gen steel under the microscope
17-Mar-2017
Next-generation steel and metal alloys are a step closer to reality, thanks to an international research project involving a University of Queensland scientist. The work could overcome the problem of hydrogen alloy embrittlement that has led to catastrophic failures in major engineering and ...
Tunable plastic thermometers
Scientists use an ion beam to produce conductive plastic films for electrical resistance thermometers
20-Dec-2010
Researchers at the Universities of Queensland and New South Wales in Australia have discovered that the ability of a plastic to conduct electricity can be tuned by exposure to an ion beam. Usually plastics conduct electricity so poorly that they are used as the insulation around electrical ...
Quantum computer calculates exact energy of molecular hydrogen
Groundbreaking approach could impact fields from cryptography to materials science
13-Jan-2010
In an important first for a promising new technology, scientists have used a quantum computer to calculate the precise energy of molecular hydrogen. This groundbreaking approach to molecular simulations could have profound implications not just for quantum chemistry, but also for a range of ...
