Check out our new paper (doi.org/10.1039/D0NH00…) on shape control of 'sword-like' #MOFs for energy conversion in Nanoscale journal family from Micro/Nanophysics Research Laboratory (leslieyeo.net) in RMIT Research, ChemEng @engunimelb, and IFM in Linköpings universitet, awesome team!

Nick Shepelin from University of Melbourne is looking at making materials that can sustainably harvest energy from movement #20phds20mins

Okay people, here is the link to today's episode with our amazing #20phds20mins group on Einstein A Go Go 3rrrfm. What an amazing group of communicators of science! rrr.org.au/player-items/g…

We've got #PhDpositions in The Ellis Group (chemical.eng.unimelb.edu.au/ellis/) for Australian domestic students at University of Melbourne. We probe problems at the forefront of #polymer science, membranes, #piezoelectric devices, #carbon & #DNA nanotechnology. Contact me, or Prof. Ellis for details!

The result of a collaborative effort between University of Melbourne and RTU on measurements of #piezoelectric and #triboelectric properties for #energyharvesting is now online at Advanced Materials doi.org/10.1002/adma.2… #sustainableenergy Peter Sherrell (He/Him) Andris Šutka 🇱🇻🇺🇦

Great write up on why recycling crop waste is so important by Marcus Wong & #UniMelbPursuit on our research in Waste Management! Read the Pursuit piece here: pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/from-… And our journal article here: doi.org/10.1016/j.wasm… UniMelb Newsroom University of Melbourne @engunimelb

Our latest article is up online! Amazing first paper by @Bee_Imtiaz looking at making caustic resistant membranes from dehydrofluorinated PVDF Published in the Journal of Membrane Science! Check it out 👀 doi.org/10.1016/j.mems…

The full version of the paper is now up - free to access for 50 days from Elsevier Engineering: authors.elsevier.com/c/1c~jG1LgHNcL… This exciting work from @Bee_Imtiaz paves the way for #3Dprinted 🖨️smart🧠#membranes exploiting #piezoelectricity, and much much more! @engunimelb Nick Shepelin

Chemical engineers @engunimelb have developed a first-of-its-kind sensor that could boost low-cost medical diagnostic testing in developing and remote areas – all without the need for a lab. pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/new-m…

Final experiments from PhD University of Melbourne, now online Nature Communications! We demonstrate a simple mechanism to align #piezoelectric polymers, removing a highly energetic processing step to enable applications in #renewable mechanical #energy harvesting. Read at rdcu.be/clloQ
