The article discusses the resurgence of bathing as a wellness trend, highlighting its health benefits such as relief from pain, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. The Global Wellness Summit has identified bathing as one of the top wellness trends of the past year. A study from RMIT University in 2017 supports the health benefits of bathing, particularly in hot springs. Victoria is becoming a hub for bathhouses and hot springs, aiming to be Australia's premier bathing destination with the development of the Great Victorian Bathing Trail. The article suggests that both in the city and regional Victoria, there are numerous venues for bathing therapies.

English
| Photonics
Microcomb-based Microwave Photonic (MWP) signal processors are capable of handling various input signal waveforms with different processing accuracies. The study experimentally demonstrates the processors' capabilities and quantifies the accuracy for Gaussian, triangle, parabolic, super Gaussian, and nearly square waveforms. Theoretical analysis elucidates the experimental results, providing guidance for microcomb-based MWP signal processors in practical applications. The research was supported by the ARC Centre of Excellence in Optical Microcombs for Breakthrough Science and the Australian Research Council Discovery Projects Programs.

Meet the humanists: ‘You don’t have to be Christian to think of yourself as a good person’

English
| Religion
Heidi Nicholl, head of the newly formed Humanists Australia, aims to promote humanism, a secular and values-based movement, in Australia. Despite the rise in Australians identifying as non-religious, humanism remains less recognized compared to atheism. Nicholl and other humanists like Collin Acton and Sally Cant advocate for ethical living without religious beliefs. The article highlights the historical context of humanism in Australia and the challenges faced by humanists, including resistance from religious institutions. It also presents a counterpoint from Des Cahill, who emphasizes the positive functions of religion.

| Climate Change
Scientists have discovered that airports could supply energy to over 100,000 homes using large solar panels on their rooftops. Researchers from RMIT University in Australia found that photovoltaic panels on large outdoor buildings like airports generate more energy than those in residential areas. The project could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and coal usage. Airports in Australia, India, and Canada are highlighted for their solar energy initiatives, with the potential to mitigate climate change impacts.

New study finds that Australians are paying $6 billion for unused parking

English
| Transportation Policy
A study by RMIT University and the University of Western Australia surveyed over 1,300 apartment residents in Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth, revealing that 20% had excess allocated parking and 14% had insufficient parking. The study, led by Dr. Chris De Gruyter, found that due to minimum parking provisions, residents often pay for parking spaces they do not use, costing more than $6 billion. De Gruyter advocates for unbundled parking policies to give residents a choice and address housing affordability, on-street parking competition, and environmental concerns. Some newer complexes in Australia are already implementing unbundled parking.

Recycled roads pave the way to a sustainable future

| Innovation
An RMIT University-led project, supported by the Australian Research Council, Austroads, and 10 Victorian councils, is incorporating recycled plastic into asphalt for road construction. The initiative aims to address the challenge of plastic waste, with Australians generating 2.6 million tonnes annually and landfill space nearing capacity. The project will produce guidelines for local governments to adopt this recycling solution. Laboratory studies show that recycled plastic asphalt mixtures have significantly less cracking and deformation, suggesting improved road performance. The City of Melbourne and other councils will implement sections of recycled roads, with the potential for national adoption across Australia's road network.

Deportment of Metals from E-Waste PCBs towards Alloy and Slag Phases during Smelting Using CaO-Al2O3-SiO2-B2O3 Slags
26 May 2023
|
MDPI
|
English
| Pyrometallurgy
The study investigates the smelting of printed circuit boards (PCBs) from e-waste using CaO-Al2O3-SiO2-B2O3 slags to recover valuable metals. The process involves size reduction, pyrolysis, and smelting, with the addition of B2O3 flux to lower the melting temperature. Results show that the fluxing strategy effectively decreases the liquidus temperature, enabling the recovery of 99.8% Cu, 99% Sn, and 100% of precious metals (Au, Ag, Pt) in the alloy phase at 1350 °C. The research highlights the importance of optimizing slag composition and smelting conditions to maximize metal recovery and minimize losses.

English
| Finite Element Modelling
The study develops a finite element modelling framework to evaluate the ballistic performance of bio-inspired body armours, including nacre, conch, fish scales, and crustacean exoskeletons. The bio-inspired panels demonstrated superior multi-hit resistance compared to monolithic panels. The research highlights the effectiveness of nacre-like and conch-like architectures in confining damage zones and reducing projectile residual velocity, emphasizing the potential of bio-inspired designs in enhancing ballistic protection.
