Swinburnes 202023 Elevate RAP launched
Swinburne University of Technology and the Moondani Toombadool Centre have celebrated the university’s latest Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) at a ceremony at the new Aunty Dot Peters AM Flowering Grasslands on the Hawthorn campus.
The launch event, to be followed by similar gatherings at the Croydon and Wantirna Flowering Grasslands, was attended by Karen Mundine, CEO of Reconciliation Australia, John Kennedy MP, Member for Hawthorn, staff, students and members of the community.
The new 2020-23 Elevate RAP focuses on four key priorities: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander self-determination, cultural safety, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledges and embedding reconciliation across all parts of the organisation.

Many industrial processes emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, however, current electrochemical separation methods are expensive and consume large amounts of power. They also require expensive and rare metals as catalysts. A study in the journal
Angewandte Chemie describes a new aerogel electrocatalyst formed from an inexpensive metal alloy, which enables highly efficient electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide. The main product is formic acid, which is a nontoxic basic chemical.
Capturing and chemically fixing carbon dioxide from industrial processes would be a huge step towards carbon neutrality. To prevent the notorious greenhouse gas from escaping into the air, it can be compressed and stored. Another option is electrochemical conversion to give other carbon compounds.

Radio astronomers discover 8 new millisecond pulsars
A group of astronomers has discovered 8 millisecond pulsars located within the dense clusters of stars, known as “globular clusters , using South Africa’s MeerKAT radio telescope.
Millisecond pulsars are neutron stars, the most compact star known, that spin up to 700 times per second. This is the first pulsar discovery using the MeerKAT antennas and it comes from the synergic work of two international collaborations, TRAPUM and MeerTIME, with the findings detailed in a
Millisecond pulsars are extremely compact stars mainly made up of neutrons, and are amongst the most extreme objects in the universe: they pack hundreds of thousands of times the mass of the Earth in a sphere with a diameter of about 24 km; and spin at a rate of hundreds of rotations per second. They emit a beam of radio waves that are detected by the observer at every rotation, like a lighthouse. The formation of these objects is highly enhanced in the star
