Researchers from DST Group and RMIT University have demonstrated that additive manufacturing of light-weight titanium could become a viable option for military vehicle armour. Until now steel has been the go-to choice for armour because of its strength and hardness. …
Ultra-efficient 3D printed catalysts could help solve the challenge of overheating in hypersonic aircraft and offer a revolutionary solution to thermal management across countless industries. Developed by researchers at RMIT’s Centre for Advanced Materials and Industrial Chemistry (CAMIC), the highly…
Local start-up, CD3D, has received a $197,487 Demonstrator Feasibility Grant under the Australian Space Agency’s Moon to Mars initiative, to further develop MAPrad – a prototype miniature radar device that could support human settlement on the Moon – in partnership with RMIT University. The Grant will fund a project to determine the feasibility of…
The High Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS) Challenge has been launched by a consortium of research partners seeking Australian industry and research interest in developing novel ideas and solutions to a capability gap. It aims to energise Australian development of key…
An Australian research consortium has successfully tested a next generation propulsion system that could enable high-speed flight and space launch services. The team’s rotating detonation engine, or RDE, is a major technical achievement and an Australian first. It was designed…
