Melbourne folk do love their coffee, and one day the beverage mightn't be just pepping them up for a day's work. Swinburne University researchers have scoured the campus' cafes for coffee grounds and used them as part of the mix for a more sustainable road material. ​​

Incorporating a number of quantum technologies on a single integrated chip, an international team of researchers claim that their work paves the way for quantum computing circuits to be built into a range of everyday devices

A team from the Swinburne University of Technology are developing a graphene microlens one billionth of a meter thick that can take sharper images of objects the size of a single bacterium

We've heard about wound dressings that kill bacteria, but Australian researchers are taking a different approach. They're creating a dressing material that attracts bacteria out from within the wound, so that the material and the microbes can then just be pulled off and discarded.

Virtual Dementia Experience, is a virtual reality system created at Australia's Swinburne University. It provides caregivers with an interactive simulation of what it's like to suffer from dementia, so they can better understand what their patients are experiencing.
