Credit: University of Sydney Ferroelectric materials are used in many devices, including memories, capacitors, actuators and sensors. These devices are commonly used in both consumer and industrial instruments, such as computers, medical ultrasound equipment and underwater sonars. Over time, ferroelectric materials are subjected to repeated mechanical and electrical loading, leading to a progressive decrease in their functionality, ultimately resulting in failure. This process is referred to a...

Anger as Lancaster University student faces 73-year wait to officially graduate Liam ODell Lancaster University has sparked fury after telling a former student that he cannot receive his graduation certificate until he pays more than £17,000 back to the uni in tuition fees. International student Patrick Ete secured a first in Mechatronic Engineering in 2016, with his place on the course funded by a scholarship from the Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency (RSSDA) in Nige...

Offshore wind turbines could meet all of South Africa’s energy needs – eight times over: research Subscribe South Africa should tap into its abundant offshore wind energy resources to help address future electricity shortages, say researchers at Stellenbosch University. In a study published in the Journal of Energy in Southern Africa, Gordon Rae and Dr Gareth Erfort from the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering at Stellenbosch University said that wind turbines strategicall...

News Author: Corporate Communication & Marketing / Korporatiewe Kommunikasie & Bemarking [Alec Basson] Published: 10/03/2021 We still rely heavily on coal to generate electricity, but with an ageing fleet of coal-fired power plants we should perhaps start to tap into our abundant offshore wind energy resources to help address future electricity shortages. “If we were to install wind turbines at different depths off the KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape coast, they could potentially supply approx...

Offshore wind speeds tend to be faster than on land.

The successful engine firing at the DefendTex/RMIT test facility. 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 by RMIT University engineers and is being developed by a consortium led by DefendTex, with researchers from RMIT, University of Sydney and Universität d...
