Monash leads the way in a green chemistry breakthrough for renewables
Electrolytic water splitting is widely understood to be the most feasible method for the production of green hydrogen fuel as a versatile means of storage and long-range transportation for the intermittent renewable energy.
New research produces 400-year El Niño record and reveals astonishing change
Australian scientists have developed an innovative method using cores drilled from coral to produce a world first 400-year long seasonal record of El Niño events, a record that some in the field had described as impossible to extract.
Discovery of how molecular ‘piracy’ works provides new strategies to combat bacterial infection
New research from Monash University explains the molecular mechanisms that allow bacteria to engage in ‘molecular piracy’, stealing iron atoms from their fungal competitors.
Toxic for most, an energy source for others – researchers discover microbes take advantage of carbon monoxide
A trans-Tasman research team led by Monash biologists has shown that dominant bacteria within extreme environments prolong their survival by breaking down the components of air.
Monash Science achieves outstanding results in latest Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) rankings
Monash Science has performed above the international standard in the latest round of the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) rankings, released today by the Australian Research Council (ARC).
